For these management associate programmes if our years of experience exceed the requirmeents for eg DBS requires less than 2 years working experience and I have like 3 years then will I be automatically rejected?

u really need to travel to HK and China and get a sense of how big that communist country really is. both in physical size and financial market size. they have more bank corporations than our 3 local ones here. but did your friends ever tell you why so many chinese some over to singapore to work? red tape, air pollution and high cost of living are some of the most cited.

hey dude are u in some lala land? u scared stress, scared pace of life too fast, scared cannot adapt, scared competition etc. so u join a local bank's program for doing local work & now u envious of others & expect DBS to send u to hk for a "short trip" for no reason just for u to masak masak?
seriously so gian go hk, just book tigerair fly there lah. only $100+ now. if u got the guts go fight it out in global banks and compete globally, otherwise spend more time to do the job here that DBS hire u for and quit dreaming about being a management associate globe trotter.

Global ibank, corporate bank, etc more likely to import talent within the region (even across regions) thru international assignment. Hard to stand out in those banks as a local fresh grad......

Its a trade off at the end of the day. You can be a big fish in a small pond and feel better than a small fish in the ocean. But also know that in a small pond no matter what you will still be a fish, you can never be a shark or whale compare to those who start off in the big ocean. Depends on you outlook in life. Big risk big gain.

You have to be realistic. Global MNCs dun pay big money to send their people on overseas stints just for fun. Naturally they are going for the best and expect the best.
If your concern is you want to have a slower pace of life, less competition, take it easy etc. then expecting companies to invest big money to develop you in various overseas assignment isnt realistic. You are better off staying in a local bank doing local work. Its a trade off depending on your lifestyle choice.
