On the bright side, you get some exposure to what the team is doing. However, there is no structured training plan which makes the outlook for the program pretty depressing.
- Typical government sponsored program where technical training is provided but practical experience to apply this knowledge on the job is limited so can't really see how useful it is gonna be. Also need to consider whether UOB is actually going to absorb all the candidates after the government funding ends.
- Would be a total waste of time for people with strong technical backgrounds so do take your applications seriously while you can |
Can confirm on first point.
My first 3 months i did nothing, actually my friend applied for a batch earlier than me and told me he did nothing also so i decided to apply while i still had my job lol
i basically removed my current job from my resume and pretended to be a fresh-grad who couldnt find job in 6+ months.
now im holding both jobs and it's pretty fking funny, UOB paying me 4.5k monthly while im doing nothing and im earning 6.2k from my other job.
basically 10k+ monthly... with less than 1 YOE. i think online they call it "overemployed" or something lol my contract also never say its illegal, they only said cannot work for competing company, UOB is a bank and my other company is a AI company, both non-competing.

Hahahah you're right, good thing there's absolutely 0 chance they will find out.  I've already made 27k SGD from UOB for free.

How did you apply? What track did they put you under such that your experiences (I guess in AI?) were relevant? Does it matter what your degree is?

Anyone knows pay progression of a UOB MA working for 3-5 years? Assuming starting at 4.5k, safe to assume 6k after the prog, and around 8-10k mark after 5 years? Assuming normal BO/MO/Ops/Tech/PM function

hey man,
i just applied through their site, its the TDP program and i got in july 2022.
first few weeks some online learning crap on java, need on webcam but they don't give a crap lol most of the people i met there are freshies, 0 experience in tech, some not even cs background so don't worry, experiences don't matter.
also just an FYI, i didnt put my AI experiences in my resume or that i was working at my first job there because every job requires you to send them a letter of resignation from old company.
i graduated in 2021, got my AI tech job, work almost a year then i applied for UOB tech program and when they interviewed me i just BS and said "oh i wanted to take a vacation after graduation as i wasnt sure how far this COVID situation would entail".
they didn't have a problem with that, as long as you're a fresh grad within 1 year+, they will hire you.

1. definitely not 6k after programme. expect 5k only.
2. 8-10k is insane for 5 YOE at local bank. you should be looking at around 6-7k
