TFIP IBF Full Stack Development

[Kingdom]

Congratulations!
I also received the same email from DBS as you.
Just curious, since you already have an offer from AIA (they my 1st choice but never find me leh) and if you're waiting for more results or more interviews, do you have to accept AIA in principle first?

I asked coz I got an offer and have to reply by this friday but I still got interviews lined up, so don't want to accept first.

Oh boy.... life changing sia....

Congrats Ahleeee on your offer. Was it DB?

May I asked apart from DBS which other FIs are lining up their interview sessions with u? All are FS track is it or got other tracks also?

Its August already. Time flies. Anyone got any latest good news to share? Or was it like what someone here in the forum shared before that many had actually went ahead to explore other options with NTUC Learning Hub &/or SGUnited Skills Programme instead?

Congrats on the offer, may i know which FI is that?

Same for me, I picked AIA and Phillip, but only AIA reached out.

I did accepted AIA's offer, but will go through with the interview just to have a feel. Maybe you should check with IBF on the acceptance thingy. The overlapping offer and interview round is kind of confusing.

Now i even get UBS req for information on IBF-TFIP, i guess IBF kind of just send everyone's application now.




You can kind of peek into what stack they use by scouring their job posting.

Anyone know what tech stack the banks use for front end development?
DBS, OCBC, UOB, Deutsche, UBS

It's been a year on, and I was just wondering about your experiences so far? How do you like the OJT now and is the experience what you thought it would be?


On a side note, I've applied for this year's programme and was wondering if any of you had any tips to study/prepare for the technical assessment?

Thanks so much in advance!

So far it's going well for me. Got into the right team with a relatively modern stack (Node.js, React).

Development work is a little bit slow tbh, since my work spread quite abit, backend all the way to CI/CD, Test and some debugging.

I consider myself quite lucky as some of my batchmates got placed into roles that are not really "Fullstack", like pure testing, and fixing bugs. But this is not something we can control, so just keep a positive mind and learn as much as possible.

For assessment, at least for NUS side, is mostly javascript (very simple, DOM manipulation, javascript function with loop, HTML stuff).


Try to learn the basics before even going to the program (if you get it eventually), as they are focusing on teaching you to be able to develop full-stack applications and not just teaching basic programming language constructs.

Cheapest way is to just buy some udemy course (Register a new acc and it should be less than 13USD per course),

Did you know any programming before you join this course? Is it luck that you are working on full stack?

I did some python + django course on Udemy, and eventually focus more on JS before the course.

I would say its luck, I just happen to get in the right team.

That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I wonder if this year's programme will be any different since they changed the name. Someone suggested that I look into Java programming principles, since a lot of banks use Java, but I'm not so sure about that.

I think what you suggested seems to make the most sense.

I am from the cloud track, different from others though. Based on my experience you normally wont get to know what stack you working on even if you explicitly asked during the interview. I think just stick to whatever you learning now and you can easily learn new stack during OJT anyway.

Yeah, I think that's great advice.

I suppose my only worry is that the technical screening will ask something that's outside the realm of what I'm learning. Ah well. We'll see!

The applications closed 3 days ago, so far no news.
