But if go ey, need 3-4 years then maybe can get that pay. If unlucky, need more time to promote also.

What about the prospect of gg bank first, then go big 4?
If you go bank you'll stay in a bank. FT in CBP is mainly from 1 large peninsular country.

Local banks trying to go local now due to political pressures. Good for us.

Bear in mind that if you work for a local Singapore bank you're going to be working for a tiny company that nobody has every heard of outside of Singapore, whereas Big 4 are known around the globe, give you a wide variety of experience and a clear career path which will end up with a recognised qualification, you can always move to a bank afterwards with a decent salary, or second somewhere abroad very easily if you are interested in that.
