just work 1 year, take the 10k bonus and hop to bigger banks bro why u wanna join UOB anyway... take the training and use it for ur benefits

who told you its perm role? their HR? lol its subject to headcount and performance, always has been, even back during their Finance and Tech program in 2019.

Kick start your technology career by building your foundation and deepening your specialisation through a 12-month on-the-job and structured training programme, with opportunities to gain valuable real-life working experience through participation in exciting projects undertaken by the Bank.

We're talking about the TDP, Technology Development Programme right?

Yeah that program has no full-time conversion... I'm pretty sure. Last year they had a similar program for tech & finance, my final interview I saw like 250+ people lmfao and we created a discord group since we would get rotated and it would be nice to share experience / info.

At the end of it, 180+ of us got dropped... LOL, the other 70+ I don't even know if they made it, they didn't respond in the discord group.

gg to those who signed TDP, no wonder the job advert for TDP always up on linkedin

shag balls

i apply uob tdp, it was just 1 phone call some ez iq test 15 mins lol i apply it as a back up and just for fun, didnt think i would get it cos i anyhow answer

now im glad i got it cos its the only offer i got LOL sian

same situation as you. Are you planning to stick to it or find a new one? which track are u in?

LOL bro u srs ah? not trolling??

i hope you arent from computing... this tdp dont even have any kind of technical assessment whatsoever? not even a simple hackerrank let alone a take home or white board qns? q jialat leh

why only got one offer tho? you didnt bother applying more or rly kena rejected? if its the latter i recommend u at least try DBS SEED at least higher pay lmaooo if not i recommend u brush up on technical skills and grind leetcode and apply for tech roles in tech companies

(source: landed a tech role in a tech company with non CS degree) atb bro

I am the OG poster for the TDP and I wish to comment that after asking HR, HR has confirmed that they would employ those on TDP after the rotations end.

Yes. the bonus is 10k after 1 year of service with 0.5 year in 1 rotation each.

ya no troll bro this program legit ez to get thats why all my friends go for it first as back-up plan

i applied bytedance, shopee and shopback.... i failed at round 3-4, shag

i didnt apply anywhere else cause other companies boring af..

from ntu cs btw

I accepted the TDP offer. Want to try reading up/browsing relevant topics before the program starts cause I'm from a non-tech background. Anyone got any recommendations?

you want to read up on relevant topics before a program that will teach you and guide you on what to read up on?

wow these TDP people legit cmi

damn thats shag af bro

got try FAANG? else u can honestly try GovTech, its at least in FAANG realm even if not quite there

bro if u from cs i really wouldnt recommend u joining a program that accepts non tech ppl and train from scratch, just my $0.02

From technical background in NTU as well... accepted this program thought got prospects, should have felt it was suspicious when the interview was just 1 round and mcqs. The offer came within 24 hours which made it worse

://elijames.org/the-two-tiers-of-singapores-tech-companies/

worth a read even if some of what written isnt true anymore (like starting pay for SWE at 3-4k LOL)

if u have technical skills, really would advise you to join the good side of tech in the blog article written above

Yes i want to. What is wrong with being proactive? Like i said, I'm from a non-tech background and don't want to be a deer caught in the headlights when i start the program. And i don't expect to be spoon-fed during the program either.

I mean what did you expect? People don't trust this program lmfao it's literally for anyone with little to no tech skills.

If you're going to self study before starting the program, you're just going to get bored sitting around learning what you already know.

tdp
 

didn't applied for this program - but I know friends who have accepted but have renege on the offer due to how uncertain this program is.

Any penalty?

anyone received the invite for networking session for next fri?

Yes I did. Not sure if I should go though. My social anxiety is acting up

Anyone going for the Fri meet & greet?

Are there multiple session on Fri? What time is yours?

Nope.. received a better job offer

Did you sign the contract prior to it? Any penalty when reneging?

anyone here renege on TDP?

Tdp
 

How is the program so far? Can anyone in TDP share their insights?

Keen to know too.

4.5k pay with 10k bonus after 1 year, conversion to perm only if you pass 3 mod test along with an approval from your assigned supervisor. Last batch of 50+, only 3 made it.

not worth it imo but if its the only job u can get then sure

was the 3 mod test and approval made known to those currently in the program?

I tot it’s a permanent role from the beginning?

no idea, friend went for it last year and just recently completed it in July. He said he didn't know until his supervisor told him 2 weeks before the program ended.

anyone else wanna know more feel free to ask but dont ask stupid questions, I will ignore those lol quite lame.

Something is quite sus about this TDP... can't even find many people on linkedin that states this.

I heard it just started this year.

Hi,

I can verify this. The UOB tech program was called something else back in 2018 and it was sponsored. It has since been renamed but the mod tests and assessments are still the same re-used one from the sponsorship training organization...

I'm in the current intake and one of the trainer did mention end-year assessments to qualify for perm roles.

What is the intake size and the % of intake that they are converting to perm?

Around 50+, maybe 3-4 conversions out of that.

Lessons all online. Just FYI but tech in banks is a joke, it's not just UOB but even big banks like JP Morgan etc, their laptops are insanely restricted and you will honestly get pissed off when you realize you can't even use your favorite online tools etc and need to seek IT approval for every single small thing lol

<10% oh wow, lucky I went with another offer.

huh they dont give u a second laptop for coding? lol i thought it was standard to have a macOS dev brick

this TDP looks SUS...so many headcounts like battle royale

Tdp
 

to those in this program so far, how is it?

hii anyone recieved the online assesments links yet for the UOB MAP prog 2023 yet?
