Hello! Just wanted to ask since you've received an offer on Fri. I received a call from Apple on Thurs 5pm where she offered me the role and then said that she will initiate the checking process before calling back the next day (Fri) or next week. Was there any forms you had to fill or anything? As I didnt receive any emails after that and she has yet to call back. How long did it take for you? Thanks!

congrats on your offer! heard there are only 13 GAs for SME banking offered this year. she sent me the pre-employment screening form and credit bureau form this morning. you should drop her an email to follow up, and check your spam email. the forms take around 30 min to complete.

Thank you! Congratulations to you too! (: I was offered GA for Ops not SME heh but I guess the process would be similar. I will drop her an email tomorrow if I still don't hear from her. Thank you once again!

Congrats to all who received an offer from DBS!

Just curious... did anyone have the opportunity to ask about the progression for GA's in DBS in terms of rank and pay scale? Any ideas about mobility across departments too?

Would be happy if anyone has some insights and thanks in advance!

progression better at front and middle office. front office progression is the most variable, especially at consumer banking side. reason is it all depends on how much sales you can pull in, the top performer can be many times ahead of the bottom performer. back office has the worst progression, especially for operations.

i got the offer for Operations! accepted it alr and pay is indeed 3.8k as above.

however reading up on all the comments on how back office is a dead-end job and prone to outsourcing makes me think i made the wrong choice, sigh
