Salary for trainee bank officer in Singapore
Hi,
My friend is a fresh graduate from Sydney (Bachelor of Business degree completed this December) with some experience (but not banking related). She has got an offer from OCBC Bank in Singapore with the starting salary of 2,155 SGD per month (and no relocation expense or initial establishment allowance). She will first work as a trainee bank officer with 6 months probation period before being promoted to Associate Relationships Manager.
Is that a reasonable level of salary, and what is the average monthly living expense there for a single person like her? Any real experience will be appreciated since I have found some salary evaluation websites but the information seems vague.
Thanks very much.

That's interesting, McDonalds has a world price for its burgers. It costs that much in China too, oddly enough.

Yeah, it's 5.95 AU or so in Sydney for a McDonalds :)
To avizit: What's the starting rate for graduate working there? In Sydney it's around 25,000-30,000AUD per year (according to my uni report).

Salaries for Engineering graduates start around 2600 SGD
but ofcourse when you join as trainee you start somewhat less and should be around what your friend is getting

I went there for a weekend and enjoyed eating at street vendors. It's in Singapore so you can be fairly confident it's safe, but at the same time it's pretty cheap because you're eating at a street vendor. Also, they have good Indian/Asian food in their carts.
Thanks NetExpert.
