Unregistered Temasek already announced 0 increment . Maybe everyone else will follow suit. Nevermind that you worked hard and achieved much in 2019.

10 years with YoY 51% with starting 65k means now is annual salary is 4m?

if u want to got into banking and expecting a bigger bonuses and pay increment, DBS may be so far the 'safer' route...

stop shooting high % numbers and spreading this misinformation about banking pay increments.
I'm 6 years in foreign bank BO and I second the above. I compare salary quite opening with my peers (FO and BO) and the situation is quite similar across foreign banks. There are so much pressure to reduce cost, even when hiring for new headcount we always consider the cheapest. DBS peers are indeed getting good bonuses (4-6 months) but increment is negligible and they have a much lower base. For sure European Banks like BNP, DB and Barclays are extremely shitty now; I am hearing 5% incre for promotion and barely a month of bonus for good performers.

From what I heard pay and bonus wise is still very strong for IB, but headcount is dropping and those who left are not replaced. The issue for most people is not enough jobs to go around rather than pay & bonus is no longer good.
Not sure what you are hearing is for the FO space, where most can't be bothered to be in forum anyway ,and the situation is more extreme (either doing very well or very badly), OR you been misled. I do not deny there could be outliers but the general scene depicted by the first commenter is more the current situation.

so sometimes, i see ppl posting blatant lies and misinformation and it pissed me off.

Just because you are hired in an international investment bank in the front/middle/back office/trading floor, doesnt mean you get at least 10K+ and 6 months bonus.....

DB used to have near 500 headcounts back when i was working there (2006-2009), do you really think everyone get 7-8K? Heck, majority of them don't even get 5K monthly.

And many of the 'Assistant Vice President' are just glorified titles.....6-7k max......bonuses in the banking industry is heavily dependent on global macroeconomics than your personal performance. You can be employee of the year but if the bank is not performing, your bonus will still be **** (unless you are C level execs in which your bonuses are fixed to a certain rate based on your contract).
