DBS Graduate Associate Program

GA is like the sergeant, MA is the officer, if you understand army context. Typically, those in the MA programme are groomed to be future managers

Hi,

I got an invite to do a video interview as part of my application to the Young Bankers Programme at OCBC.

I would like to ask if anyone has taken this interview or any video interview with OCBC and what questions were asked during the interview? How many questions were there?

How much time are we given to answer each question and how much time are we given to prepare for each question?

How many attempts are we allowed for each other question?

Were they strengths-based questions or competency-based questions? Or both?

What advice do you have on how to best prepare for the interview?

Thanks!

I applied on the 19th of April and they contacted me 5 days later.

Have you also applied to the programme? If you have and if you have done the video interview then I would like to ask you the questions which I had posted in this forum.

Thanks

I applied on 24th, haven't heard back. If you PM me your number perhaps we could discuss this further?

I heard back 5 days after I applied so I am guessing it may take a few days for you to hear back from them. I have two interviews in the coming days so I apologise that I may not be able to discuss this further with you in the coming days but I may be able after that depending on whether I will have more interviews soon.

Anyone got any replies, regardless of offer and rejection, from the GA program?

Then who are the enlistees? lol if everyone is the sergeant then no one is a 'sergeant leader' in the true sense of the word.

I got into SEED programme which starts in 2 months. starting pay is 3K +. poly grad here. May I know if people are getting around the same?

Had an impression SEED paid much higher than that... like 4k range for a developer role
