End game +> game over?
A good friend of mine was flying to Singapore the other day and overheard a couple CS analysts say “CS Asia? More like C-Ass Asia!”
Tells you a little something about the culture I think…
Going there for SA this summer... very worried since head of M&A just resigned and joined DB
Mind sharing comp?
150k SGD prorata

CS deal-making ability in SEA relies on 2 critical factors: i) that MD with almost monopolistic relationship with key corporate clients in the region and ii) access to Private Banking clientele as a liquidity provider for transactions. As long as these 2 factors remain intact, things gonna be fine
Who’s this MD? What sector are they in?
Never heard of Jeffrey N. Seckerd really? Gosh what WSO has become…
Does anybody know who this MD is?
Zi-Kuan Lim who was head of m&a just left to join db. Not sure if the comment is referring to him but he is definitely a big part
Bump
Same poster but somehow my tittle got updated to Director
Looking at Jefferies SEA track record last few months would give you a very good indicator on the aforementioned MD; and whether you guys should consider Jefferies as a serious employment option in the region
How does UBS SG stack up?
Think UBS is much smaller? From what I've heard CS has 10/11 incoming analysts while UBS only has 3/4.
Wow 10/11…
CS SG employee here, anonymous for obvious reasons. Anyway, comps are higher than what is posted above from April 2023 onwards. That does not matter now I suppose since we are all told to start applying. Not much work is getting done.
You were told to start applying? Says a lot about the confidence of management on being assumed by UBS
Are they willing to waive the notice period? Or still making you serve it out regardless of the situation.
Also curious what the rationale given for the pay bump is if they also told all everyone to start looking for a new job...
What's the new comp for your AN1?
So what's comp looking like for an AN1 including bonus and is the SG office fucked with CS going down the drain?
Any incoming CS SA should not be expecting a return offer
I completely agree and I know this is expected but was just wondering if you heard anything from people related to SG office. Thanks!
