Haha I am just saying that even a student like me can be on this forum, so credibility wise, this forum definitely doesn't make the mark. I can post anonymously and boast like what 90% of the people here are doing and no one will give a hoot. Face it, rich people are too busy to even go online, why would they share with you how to 'strike rich'. Like what you've mentioned, it's a dog eat dog world. Sharing is caring, not.

Nonetheless, I will not deny the fact that some realistic advice the small minority here gives is actually reliable. So kudos to those mother teresas.

P.S. What has me having a rich father or not got to do with the affluence of people in this forum, apparently to access a forum, any ah gao ah mao with an internet connection can pose as one already, pfft.

Yes, and I am sure "roflmao" is so much better English. You are probably just jealous cause your ego got bruised?

You'll be surprised. There's a country CEO of a foreign bank who speaks with a worse accent than Goh Chok Tong.

I'm utterly convinced that talent is but a smallish factor in attaining success.

When I originally offered you advice, I meant switch to better paying firms within Engineering. Not exactly asking you to rethink your entire field of work. Although this maybe an option also.

Was your degree from local uni? Did you get good class honors? Bear in mind that banks are quite selective on academic qualifications esp if you are going for junior role.

If you are the can study type, 1 possible route:is to get a MBA or Masters in a finance related field (like Financial Engineering). MAS has a sponsorship program for such Finance post grad degrees, go check it out.

If you don't do that, you are pass the normal length of time for the Graduate programs.
If you go through direct hire program, you dont have the experience. So it will be difficult in such a competitive climate. You may end up doing operations work. This is not highly paid. And not meaningful work.

If you get a MBA, and get into a role (e.g. Research Analyst covering Oil & Gas). From my experience, the bank pays a MBA hire~ US$10,000 base pay = US$120,000 p/a. (excluding bonus) This is quite consistent through the industry.
