Haha well if you're in a BB in IBD/S&T your starting pay is >10k. Though I heard local banks IBD/S&T is 5kish. How much does an MBB pay anyway?

From what I observe, oxbridge may give you the label that you could be a "high-flyer", meaning your bosses may be looking out for you more than the rest, but expectations are certainly higher. In terms of real monetary benefits, you get none. If you perform well, good for you, because you have a higher chance of getting noticed. If not, it doesn't matter whether you're from Oxford for cowford, you'd be forgotten.

As for all the debates about $5k/mth being too much for a fresh grad, idk how much work is expected from GIC fresh entrants, so can't comment if they're overpaid. But for your investment banks and global consulting firms (MBB + tier 2), they're being paid more than that or at least the equivalent when joining as fresh grad. Of course, in the IB and consulting industries, you certainly MUST have excellent internship experience (and case study skills for consulting) to get the job. Once you enter, you really work like a dog. Work-life balance? Nah. So for those jobs, you are exchanging your time (and health) for $$. Not sure about GIC.

Unregistered I don't know about GIC, but from what I know LSE and Oxford graduates that joined MAS and MTI aren't getting any more than the local gradautes. Around 3.8k I heard.

Unregistered The premium pay for these graduans are often considered locking fees. Granted there is no guarantee they will perform but there is an expectation that these people will be the captains of the industry and as a result paying a premium early on could yield significant dividends later on when developing, especially for blue chip companies.
