A step backwards if you ask me

The salary they got from 3.8k to 4.5k, how come their salary offer not the same? How DBS decide? Cannot be paying them such a huge gap.

Anyway, I have checked whether the SME offer result already out or not. Still not yet. I did not clarify with them about the salary, not sure they will disclose or not.

Hope they will call soon.

Good place to retire, but not the place for you if you have ambition

DBS is pretty good, I have seen top performer getting promoted to VP in 8 years. Base might be around 9k to 10k with 3 months bonus.

Yeah that can only happen in a local bank since the scale of their headcount in Singapore is so huge.

They're still waiting from the top management to approve. By this Fri or latest by next week.

Good luck!

Are the headcount of the local banks about the same? Which bank is bigger?

Headcount wise OCBC > DBS > UOB.

OCBC and DBS cause their scale of consumer banking here quite large vs UOB

How come OCBC headcount so big?

Then is it better to join OCBC GTP instead

Yes, but you need to be top performer. Most people stuck at AVP and need to wait for another 5 to 10 years to get promoted to Vp.
