What I wrote earlier, which is my claim up for dispute, is "if you come from a top US school, you are a rarer commodity which gets selected more."

Looks like we've reached a consensus. Top US schools and local uni's, each carries its own weight in different fields, different groups.

I believe in empathy. We're all in this life together, and in this industry together. It just so happens we're in an industry, the finance industry, were things are a notch more competitive.

Let's support each other to build up a better future for Singapore!

Actually, I think there is one other person responding.

I was the guy who first started hitting you. But I agree, all the best to you and your endeavours!

If you haven't accepted the offers, why not ask to speak with current employees from DBS and SCB? You won't get more accurate info than that. Also gives you a chance to get a feel of the people you will be working alongside with. Doesn't seem like an unreasonable request to me.
