Exactly. SME Banking is considered just above personal banker. 3.8k for a grad program some more

I suppose working for DBS comes with prestige?

It goes BB > International Banks (HSBC, SCB etc) > Local Banks > Regional Banks (CIMB, Maybank)

Is that so? Doesn’t make a difference. If they have to offer a $700/month pay jump, it speaks volume about how they are struggling to attract fresh grads. Still a glorified personal banker with potential being SME Banking at a different regional bank.

Employment pass now requires min 4.5k
So they have to increase salary to 4.5k to take in foreign talent.

As a result this benefited local employee.

Thanks MOM for increasing foreign talent pay and inflate everyone's salary

So salty. But it's fine. Who cares what the job entails. 4.5k is above average already and that all it matters

Take it as you will, am not a fresh grad. Would just urge you to look beyond the starting salary and start thinking about why they raised the starting salary so drastically (if it’s true). Your work life is going to last 30 years.
