Corporate Treasury or Investment Banking (DCM)

[Crossroad]

Hi guys,

wanted to ask your opinions on the above choices. Would it be better in terms of career development to start off in Corporate Treasury ( buy-side ) or IB DCM?

The offer I got for IB is for a non-Singaporean regional bank while Corporate Treasury is for an MNC

Many thanks in advance

3500 - 4500. Start off at low end and salary revision at end of probation
Corp treasury will start off 1k high but unsure of salary growth. I guess DCM, there is a higher potential of salary growth, especially if the debt market picks up in the next few years

i think the choice to do IB is definitely better.

3.5k doesn't sound like IB to me, that's even lower than most BO jobs. Are you sure you are not confusing IB operations/support with IB proper?

Depends what sort of MNC it is. Care to give more details about industry?

You're right , it's ridiculously low, but it might be due to the tight labor market now. I guess you might also be comparing to BBs. Regionals like OCBC , BOC , Maybank usually start off below 5 if I'm not mistaken. The 3.5 - 4.5 is verbal and indicative only.... But if they officially offer 3.5 , I find it really low also.

Just thinking if the increment will be quick and if after probation there will be pay revision or not. I'm pretty sure the role is not for operations/support - pitch books , book building etc is incovolved in the role

In comparison the treasury role is for a car manufacturer MNC / conglomerate

So if on management trainee then it's worth considering ?
