OCBC Young Bankers Programme
Could someone provide me with some insights about the video interview?
Are you allowed to exceed the time given for you to answer a question? And if so, by how much? I'm afraid if I exceed the time given my answer will be cut off abruptly. Also, could anyone give me some samples of the video interview questions? Any help would be very much appreciated! |
young banker
you received any other interviews?
ahh i didnt receive for young banker... dk what went wrong |
Nope
Not yet, just wanted to clarify on the video interview because I'm really bad with video interviews.
Don't worry about it! Maybe HR is still processing the applications? |

Video interview tips
In any case, if anyone has got any tips on how to tackle video interview questions within the time limit, it would be most appreciated :)

hey ricecake u got apply for the DBS GA ops?
did they reply anything yet did u get any other replies for the video interview? |
DBS or OCBC programme better? Harder to get in?
|
Just want to advise everyone not to be so hard up on these graduate programmes. These programmes are not elite programmes and you will always be lower than the MAs. You WILL be underpaid and regret your decision after 1-2 years when the programme ends.

I am now in civil service for 1 year since graduation with 2:1 honors in business administration. If add in bonus and aws currently drawing close to 68k annual.
Thinking of leaving the ministry as the job is not my type and exploring management structured programs in the banking industry as this is my passion. Anyone can advise if the OCBC program is able to offer higher or at least the same as my current drawn? |

Most who get in through YBP are average uni grads who fail to make it into foreign banks or MNCs. Unless you have a passion in banking operations, you are better off advancing your career in public sector. |
ybp

|
Got a call today. Interview is at 25th Oct
|
Applied on 23rd October, did the video interview 26th October. Still no news on an interview. The application status on my job page has been changed to "Under Consideration" since 10th October.

Public / civil service can easily offer 70k for a fresh grad with good grades. Some reputable stat boards are already offering 4.5-5k for their first class honors candidates. Of cause, the selection process is tough (only 1:1 or high 2:1 got shortlisted) and you need to have a decent track record of internships and CCAs. With the annual package of a typical civil servant, reaching 70k including all the bonus is not unheard of.... But these comes with all the cons of joining the public sector as a first job too... |
I heard OCBC may be cutting jobs too. Anyone with inside news? I am being referred for a junior post in OCBC, but don't want to get let go after joining for a while.

hi all
pay for this grad program depends on your class of honours (irregardless if local or overseas degree) 1st class - 4.4k 2nd upper - 3.8k 2nd lower - 3.3k not sure about pay for 3rd class and below start of program includes 3 weeks training and 1 week overseas training (usually go to KL) this program is good if you applying to all divisions except ops & tech division (O&T) the tech division sucks especially... if you come in late and tap in at 9:01am an email will be sent to your supervisor saying you are late.. and guess who does your appraisals?? (your supervisor duh!) there's also of sai kang to do such as planning for events and even for CNY the O&T in this program have to train and perform lion dance during CNY (like seriously they make fresh grads do lion dance when other divisions just hire external parties to dance) my advice is this program is decent if you are NOT joining O&T. if you are applying to O&T i urge you to reconsider and would advice you apply to other banks which have similar pay/programs but dont have so much non-value adding sai kang to do. however understand that job market now not so good... so if really no choice then coming here is better than not having a job. anyway have been here in the tech dept for 2 years and am really sick of this place..constantly reorg.. tons of bureaucratic red tape.. always coming back on weekends to deal with issues etc etc yesterday was my last day officially with the bank. am saying all this so that at least future grads will have all this information before deciding to join O&T, and hopefully not make the same mistake i did. for those applying to non-O&T should be fine and program is same as other banks |
that's the pay scheme 2 years ago..
|
what is the 1st year increment??
|
All the O&T in tampine work very late one. Everytime the management said nice things like staff welfare, worklife balance. But all is rubbish. Ppl there work till late nights, even past midnight. Actually is it against labour laws that they work beyond the number of overtime in a day?
|
And I have not gone home since I joined

If you're just a generic white collar worker, suck it up. Also, I never understood this thing about paying people differently according to their class of honours, especially in the private sector. Its a dumb practice with no basis in reality or economic sense. Only the thumb twiddling bureaucrats in the public sector would practice this kind of thing. |

Are there anyone on this programme with Group Finance or has applied to this division as well?
