They will give most the same. Enter program 5k plus. Graduate from the program if you do well about 6k.

Can’t compare BO at bulge bracket lah.

DBS remuneration is actually the industry standard.

That is why previous batches ma have very high turn over rates but back then economy is good so easy for them to run elsewhere for more $$ after graduating from the program. My advise is that you should join for passion in doing well for the banking industry. If you are looking for good $ the program perhaps is not suitable for you, you will likely be earning much more with a masters degree elsewhere.

I think this is a misconception that the current job market does not affect masters graduate. There’s no point to securing an internship at bulge bracket when conversion rate in the current environment does not look optimistic.

Bro and sisters who Currently has a job that pay more than 5k. No point risking joining the MA program. In one year time if you are not ranked among the top few MA, your prospects will be bad for the next few years in this economy climate.

Nonetheless if you are the chiongster dog eat dog type that constantly fight to outshine other MA and strive to be among the top ranked MA, and your job or pending job offered are currently below 5k it will be worth.

It really depends on your character.

This is such a misguided comment in so many ways. How does one even survive in banking without a competitive character. If one lacks the drive to do well in a local bank, he/she need not even think of surviving in an international bank. The grads there are ranked as well, and promotion is not guaranteed as well.

And the job environment can’t possibly be worse than right now. If you have been following any form of economic forecasts/outlook we are expected to return to pre-covid status (economy wise) by 2022/2023.
