SME Banking
 

Hii,

I think they are still busy conducting interviews for tech and ops
Probably still need some time haha

different HR and line manager, no overlap. But interviews depend on the functional group timeline, SME and T&O usually don't do interviews at the same time.

Hi everyone!

I read through all the 40 page posts, wah!
I am graduating in 2016 and applied for DBS GA in Tech.
I received the email for panel interview two days ago. The interview date is not confirmed yet but should be in December.


Also might I know how should I prepared for the interview? I really lost my confidence in final interview after being rejected by several famous investment banks after went through their final interviews.

Anyone received a panel interview for DBS grad programme in Operations?

Hi, just wanna check if anyone has received an offer for DBS Grad Prog - Ops? Thanks!

Yes an offer was made to me.
3.8k position in operations. 2 yr bond (10k).

additionally, i will like to hear from any current GAs in the programme (particularly in operations). please do share your experience (learning opportunities). those who completed their programme, are you still with DBS and what are your current positions. Much appreciated.

Is there any bonus? heard that 8k... really??

Hi I got an offer from GAP at DBS.

3.8K is right and there is a 2 year bond.

But this 2 year bond is 10K worth right? but I only hear 2 year bond thats all.

Anyone helps?

Hi, anyone know what is the typical progress in term of salary and position at the end of the 2 years bond?

depends on which program. some program is 3 years long

What's the difference, and mind sharing the progression path and salary?

Hi,

Nope, none of the management/graduate associate programmes in DBS are three years long. Max is two years.

At the end of the programme (e.g. after two years), you will jump rank from Analyst to Associate. With that, you of course also will have an increase in rank pay.

As for the career prospects, it is really up to you to strive hard yourself after the end of the programme. Unlike the scholars in civil service, where PSC will constantly monitor you and fast track you for x number of years, associates in the bank will have to prove their worth. Which I think is good too.

anddddd wrong. RBMP is 3 years long with bond. But seeing how it is no longer on the website the program might not be doing that well 2 years after inception.

Initially, there was only program in the bank, which is the MA program. They expanded by adding the T&O GA program in 2011 and further expanded it by adding retail banking sales, management and SME banking in 2013.

Pay have recently been aligned, so all GA program have same pay. MA is on another scale. For 2 year program it is a "given" that you be promoted to associate after 2 years, but that is not in the contract so it can be taken away. Salary progression was good, but it is not pretty in the recent years.

One thing to note is that you have absolutely no choice in your placement of departments, functions or markets for the first year. And once you are in that market, you can never go to another one. Second year rotation are based on the wimps of the GA MC, unless you are A, really really good, or B, on really good relationship with the MC, you will never get the rotation you want.

personal advice, come in as a fresh hire, more opportunities abound, better pay potential and greater control on your department of choice

What's the promotion pay for associate after 2 years?

See performance, function, market, economy. Ranges from 2 digit up

Hi all, can anyone tell me how long it takes between completing a video interview and being invited to panel interview for GAP? Especially those who have been to the panel interviews.

Anyone did the panel interview? How is the case study like? Could anyone please share? thanks!!

You're applying for tech?

Panel interview!
 

hey guys!

Anyone went for panel interview for g&a T&O?
How's the case study like? After around 1 month, i received notification for the panel interview, but im not sure how to prepare for the case study.

Appreciate any tips! Will also share my experience aft the interview

There's around 6 questions asked on a random basis, most of them are experiential questions whereby they will ask you about a time where u showed initiative or solved a problem. I had a weird qn which asked me to think of a new colour! They also will give u around 30 second to wrap up and for u to state why u want to be in dbs or in that role - basically to add on.

Panel interview and case study
 

Hi congrats on getting the offer. I pretty sure there is only a two year bond, but not sure if it's worth 10k. Anyway anyone mind sharing how the case study is like and what are the questions ask during he panel interview?

Hi, out of curiosity, does anyone know if DBS started their interviews for applicants of the MA Program?

Hi, I am an avp in HSBC in the tech department. I join banking about 3 years from a non banking industry. Can I know what is the equivalent title in local banks, for say DBS.
