I'm seeing job posts from SCB stating that pay range for 4 year experience Associate Director starts from 7.5-8k. Is this an accurate figure?

I can confirm FM and WM offers are out. Not sure about those other fluffy divs like SC Ventures or DCDA etc.

when were offers out?

Offers out already meh? When did you receive?

anyone applied for DCDA? i haven't heard back after pymetrics

When did you apply?

October 2021. Have you received anything after pymetrics?

the salt is real

Has anyone actually receive offers? Is recruiting still ongoing for fresh grads?

Have not heard back too

What div did you apply for?

Anyone applied for CCIB or DCDA? May I know what stage are you at currently?

status update here

no one even updates lol

all selfish sinkies

Me! I applied for SC Ventures and CCIB but yet to receive any update after the virtual interview.

Hi,

I just applied like yesterday.

Completed the Pymetric Quiz AND Behavioural Test. Was sent an email saying I am shortlisted.

What does this mean? What will be the next stage?

It says u are shortlisted for what? the automated video interview stage or the virtual interview stage with hiring managers?

Would anyone take CCIB/FM role for 5.8k? (bonus 2-3months) I understand that the same job at other banks pay probably double what SC is offering.

I'm thinking if applying for other divisions for a 5.2k pay which is similar might be better.

Anyone in the IG programme now willing to share their experience? Thank you.

not sure about Assoc Director but IG pays 5.2-5.8k depending on division so gauge from there accordingly

It literally says this AFTER I took the Pymetrics AND Behavioural Tests:

"Hi XXX,

Thank you for taking the time to complete our Valued Behaviours Assessment for the 2022 – Graduate Singapore role.

Your assessment outcome? We’re delighted to confirm that you’ve been shortlisted to progress to the next stage in our process!

After doing the Pymetric Quiz and Behavioural Test, I was sent the following email immediately,

"Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to complete our Valued Behaviours Assessment for the 2022 – Graduate Singapore role.

Your assessment outcome? We’re delighted to confirm that you’ve been shortlisted to progress to the next stage in our process!

Oh, you're shortlisted for the video interview stage (like Hirevue automated questions)

Yes the bank lowballs, but no other offers also no choice have to accept.

From what I know, many people in the IG programmes are constantly on the lookout and applying out as well. (Can source on LinkedIn to see people who left within 2 years, there are many. Heard that in some divisions it's hard to secure a team or desk due to lack of headcount for permanent staffing.) IG undergoes rotations so you're essentially being an intern again during each rotation hoping to get a permanent spot on the team. So if this is your only offer, you can do the same ----- just use this as a temp job while sourcing for a better offer. Best of luck!

the prog don't guarantee you a permanent spot after completion. i hav seniors who were in the prog previously but left. they told me to get a job elsewhere that's permanent and more secured.

SC pays decent for graduate positions but beware that you have to fight for a spot in the teams that you have rotated to. Failure to do so will result in you being terminated after the end of your rotations.

The pay is 5.8k for IB/markets and 5.2k for others, decent or not would be subjective based on whether you're comparing to local or international banks I guess.

BNP Paribas is more similar in size and clientele groups to SC than local banks, and their markets is around 7.5k. Local bank pays 4+k for their MAPs.

omg! How far am I still from the programme acceptance?
Is the Video Interview Stage difficult?

The video interview stage is alright, just like any other hirevue by other banks. (Asking about your past experience or giving them examples of a time where you ...... etc)

Think after this stage is the hiring manager interview stages already, then offer. But HR seems to be very inefficient, so it'll probably take awhile.

anyone heard back after video interview for client coverage?

Hmmm… I am a fresh grad with no relevant degree (from design background), and I had never worked in a Bank before… I wonder how did u even get to the Hirevue Interview stage.

I am really not sure how to remain optimistic when odds are against me now haha.

Kind of suspect I might just be “eliminated” after the Hirevue Interview stage…

I think the online assessments are all automatic, meaning if you meet a certain benchmark you'll automatically progress till the next stage.

Just be confident when doing the video interview and try your best. Good luck!

Product Development Manager
 

Anybody in the product develop manager role? Able to share any insights on this?

I was offered this role and understand that it involves telesales of priority banking accounts, but want to understand more before i jump into it.

Commission structure, work output required, etc?

Thanks!

I did receive an email last year saying cuz of holiday season, there will be a delay in the process

standard chartered is really slow at hiring this year

Thank you!

Would also like to know, do u guys know anyone that graduated from a Non-Business or Engineering Degree but works in the Bank too?

I am absolutely nervous because it seems like I am the only one with Design-Background (with a quick search on LinkedIn)...

There are definitely people who graduated from a non-business or engineering degree but works in the the bank. You shouldn't be nervous that you are from a non-conventional background since your background could also benefit the teams you work in, by bringing different skillsets or perspectives to the table. And anyway, finance/banking knowledge is really not that difficult to pick up at all. As long as you have the right attitude and put in the time and effort to close your knowledge gap, you will be fine. I wouldn't worry about it.

yes thereabouts

Agreed, but it is in particular for FM. The other divisions don't face such a problem.

actually, coming from a non-business background puts u in an advantage. banks are all about diversity nowadays
