hello, i think different countries have different timelines...

Hey you guys? Judging by the ".sg" I'm assuming you're applications were done for the Singapore post. I applied for I.G in Kenya. Still no word yet on my status after the video interview which I did exactly 2 months ago. I do, however, have a Nigerian friend who got an invite, on the 12th, after his video interview to do a phone interview.
Hope alive I guess...

I applied for IG in Antartica. Haven't got any reply yet.

Your friend must be a Nigerian prince to be invited for interview so early.

You should go for SCB if possible. Everyone knows banking offer better pay and progression than any other industry. Exxon although also famous not as big as international banks or better brand in CV.

Haha do u actually know anything or just shooting off the hip?

Exxon is 4-5 times the size of SCB in revenue, profit and market value. Exxon competes for grads with the likes of Shell, Google, Microsoft, MBB trio etc. Their banking equivalent is JPM and Goldman.

A commercial UK/SG based bank that is currently in financial trouble is not a relevant comparison with Exxon honestly.

All of them would fail, including some of the major oil n gas without the govt intervention.
Interventionism leads to more malinvestment which would require more intervention
