Really impressive stats. Would you say you are the norm or the outlier in terms of performances and remuneration? If for example 10 staffs (incluing you) join the BO in 2006, would most of them be following your line in career advancement? Whats your take?

My switch from back to front is the only thing I consider as an outlier. The rest were normal type of increments / promotions.

I consider my promotions pretty quick but considering they are junior level promotions and I have decent honors (degree), nothing impressive.

Damn amazing..within 6 years..guess u're in foreign bank since base is so high. However, banks are downsizing..hope you'll continue to do well. Thanks for sharing..btw, what's your rank?

Foreign. BO.

Why did you assume no promotion?

Suppose you stay for the next 10 years. What's the max annual salary you can hit?

how is your working hours?

9-6??

or every day work 12-14hrs

every weekend burn??

Got work life balance??

Current rank is AVP

Depends on what rank I will hit after 10 years. From Junior ranks to AVP is one leap.

From AVP to VP is difficult. VP to D even more difficult.

I would say base case I will be a VP at the end of the next 10 years. (or SVP). The cap will be around S$25k.

Bullish case will be I hit D. For that, I am not so sure what's the income cap. Probably a good guess will be S$30-35k.

The higher you go up, the more your variable will make up your total comp.

In BO, it is about 9-8+. No need to work weekends.

In FO, hours are shorter. 9-6. But different kind of stress. Have to manage P&L.
No need to work weekends either.

When I wanted to move from BO to FO. I hangout with the desk guys after work, almost every night, or at least whenever they ask.

When I wanted to convert from temp to perm. I make sure I am first in office (even if it means being in at 7.30am). I make sure I buy coffee for everyone on the desk. After work, I make sure I am available for every after work activity.

After I get my perm, I can now afford to work-life balance.

So it really depends on how driven you are towards your goal. What's your game plan to achieve your objective, etc.
