Well, who knows, maybe DBS is very confident that they will offer you sth that you can refuse, no matter how long they put you to wait...

Assuming there are still offers not out yet.

DBS knows the candidates applying for this program don’t have many other banking options... so they will do as they please. Yes, other industries may pay you better than DBS but for some strange reason people want to go into banking in Singapore for whatever reason and they know this; and are using it to their advantage.

Also, if you have another foreign bank offer (regardless of division), do not try to use it to leverage for a better offer as they will simply reject you as they are not able to match the package.

The reason why they have changed it to an EMAP is because the new HR campus lead in there came from a BB and have convinced management that mature candidates will lead to lesser attrition. (The previous programs have not proven to be successful). Last year’s MAP was a beta, they weren’t sure if they could get enough experienced hires with masters, and also what compensation would attract them. In the end, they could only find candidates with 2-3 years working exp and a couple people with masters + 2-3 years exp.
