when was ur panel interview?

Last month.

got an offer here (after around 2months of processing + interviews).
signing on fri leh

Signing under which track?

when did u receive verbal? dec?

lucky for the guy to sign tmr,
I just received a call stating that offer rescindered due to global economic downturn.
great relief, hahaha

Oh and bye this forum,
miss u guys,hahahha

I just did my video interview for T&O on Monday.

It's so horrible hearing DBS rescinding offers. I think anyone who experienced this should go and speak to your career counsellor. DBS rescinded my summer internship offer last year and I told my career counsellor about it and she went to talk to DBS and eventually they re-offered me back but I rejected them for another offer in the end.

if u have read the recent news, dbs have increase 20% in the 4Q.
sound like a good thing right?

but u continue read the news. the last part say it will cut the hiring and lower down the increment pay for the year.

sry to hear that....

Deutsche Bank is doing extremely bad recently( everybody knows it right) but they didnt revoke any offer for their grad prog.as far as i know,vp level got cut,not.the.junior ones.

i think dbs doesnt value GAP and they didnt revoke any MAP,so i doubt whether they will got hires in the future.

i agree, thats why so many ppl say not worth join gap cuz u be treat like direct hire. never be future leader as map

why did they called you out of sudden? you got any form of offer beforehand?

woa, dbs did this.....anyone else got offers now?

finished my panel interview (SME) this week, waiting for results which i was told will be released within the next 2 weeks. Good experience during the interview, nothing too stressful, I feel it was more of a culture and fit interview than competency.

congrats for ur panel interview. hope u impressed them greatly.but be careful abt their offer, make sure ask them for exact date. yup i am the rescindered man, back again.

Mr Rescindered,

why did they called you out of sudden? you got any form of offer beforehand? And which track were you under?

I think he got a verbal offer from HR months ago, then offer got rescinded recently

I see, so it's that guy. Cause he seems anxious after he had the verbal offer for quite some time, yet seems okay after they rescinded his offer.

ofc he is not okay, really sorry for those whose offers got rescinded.

I agree, recently saw a friend had the same situation. Guess they all got same problems. sry for them.

Anyone knows if Graduate Associates get any overseas opportunities?

really? offer and rescind? and the worse thing about this is that application is still open.

Yes, I can verify that. they rescinded offers a few years back but due to loss revenue. It's weird that they do this when there is 20% increase as previous post mentioned.

Eh me too. I also did my panel interview for SME banking on Friday. I got a feeling they wouldn't hire a lot though. Interview itself was rather friendly, and more of fit-based. But they kind of keep rescheduling back the interview backwards, and it only has 2 interviewers compared to 3 last week (from my friend). Good luck mate.

Hi there, it's me. I don't think the number of interviewers is an issue... For my case there were 3 interviewer, 1 credit analyst side 1 RM and 1 hr. I'm dying for their reply because I want it so badly, this job hunt is really draining on the final semester. Recent discussion on them rescinding offers are not very encouraging as well. Do u know how many applicants are there and how many they are hiring?

Same man. Dying for the job too sigh. Did you went on Friday? I think maybe just nice the RM not free cuz mine only has the HR and credit analyst. I think they had a rather big pool of candidates for final round. From what I know initially there are 4 full days worth of final round candidates, but after that a little unclear cuz certain slots kept getting pushed back. Not sure how many they hiring though.

I receive the offer on the same week of signing. Monday offered by HR, Friday sign.

I'm from T&O

Tech or Ops specifically?

Glad you reply me. You know what? I am applying for engineering now, cannot even get an interview after sending out approx 80+ resumes. Why? because all my experience in cv shows that I am an IT guy suitable for banks. It's a mismatch! both technically and personality. I am struggling everyday. I sleep at 2am everyday to send out resume and wake up at 8 am to go to classes. My life ruins...having a bank cv but no more chance to go into banks. How foolish am I?

No need to die-die aim for banking jobs. A lot of Singaporeans love banks so much that they will settle for a back office job that pays less than a job in other industries, which is damn stupid.

You can make good money as a programmer. Just need to open your eyes and look for opportunities.

Hmm but why would DBS rescind offers when their hiring is still ongoing?? I just received an invitation to go for the panel interview for T&O next week...

finish my video interview on 21 feb.

guess im rejected by now? :(

nope, not necessarily true. it took me 5 weeks to be invited to the panel interview after doing the video interview. good luck!

Im the person who got invited to the panel interview next week. I completed my video interview on 22 feb.

I guess they are not cutting headcounts. It's just they want to hire "better" person, plus allow me to guess, if you search LinkedIn profile, you can see all GAP are Singaporean(I've seen about 70 profiles ), cuz you can tell from the names.I don't know why but that cannot be coincidence. i also apply for this program and i just finished video interview, but i don't have too much hope in it because 2 foreign friends i know quite well are rescindered and they are the people who encourage me to apply for this program.

wah 5 weeks?
guess i can only wait.

but i already give up on waiting. just dont put my hope so high. :)

Has anyone got the offer for SME Banking yet? Seems very long eh?

When did you go for the interview?

Hi I applied for the grad associate prog-sme banking.

I just checked the career portal and they state the application was complete and the content explains there was not a complete alignment.... and I am rejected.

Has my degree anything to do with it? I am from sim-UOL business.

Same here (sme banking)... taking so long to reply after the panel interview... anybody received anything or heard anything?
