yes ocbc grad programme has many back office (especially ops and tech) roles that are very manual and unglamorous. they do have roles in more prestigious divisions like treasury and finance though. not to mention corp banking as well, though most of the roles in corp banking are just servicing local SMEs and not big international firms...

Is ops and tech really so bad? I applied for it cos i thought it was interesting

I think it depends on what you want? Like if you value stability and doing the same work day in day out, following SOPs, risk adverse, then ops is for you. But if you are adventurous type, ambitious, go getter, career progression and prospects important, then front office and divisions like treasury/finance are more suitable for you

Got contacted by HR that I got the position 2 weeks ago but have not received the offer letter, anyone experiencing the same thing?

Hello, has anyone not yet been given the contract to sign after offer?

Any advantages of working in the back office ops and tech compared to front office customer facing?

Heard that last batch HR offer more than headcount for certain roles, end up not all get offered. Anyone can confirm for this?
