Maybe there is no overtime (unverified)

The salary range listed on the website seems somewhat exaggerated. A monthly salary of over 80,000 is at the assistant manager level (which is relatively high for financial holding companies or the banking industry). Even experienced candidates may have difficulty negotiating up to that level (you probably shouldn't even think about a monthly salary of 90,000).

The annual salary ceiling should be [80,000 * 18 months = below 1.44 million]. It may be best not to set your expectations too high (1.3 million may already be considered high), but they will not refuse to invite you to an interview just because you stated a salary that is difficult to reach. You can evaluate for yourself whether the interview is worthwhile.

(They may reject you using some strange excuse. For people who are currently employed or want to pursue a higher salary, the interview may not be worthwhile. If you are considering changing jobs or have been contacted by a headhunter, you may want to think about it.)

The advantage is that, compared with CTBC and Cathay United Bank, they "may" require less overtime (at least that may be the case for the unit I interviewed with).

In addition, Cathay seems not to use Docker/K8S or private cloud platforms, so those who want to build up their skills in these areas may want to think twice.

Finally, the Digital Development Department has been recruiting for several years. It does not feel like this is because the organization is constantly expanding, but rather because the salary ceiling is too low and they tend to look for very strong candidates.

(Very strong candidates can choose Google, MediaTek, or TSMC, so they seemingly do not need to consider working here.)
