no wonder there's so many people rejected the AMLA position offer..the benefits offered just suck. i.e: no bonus

hmmm... i was an AMLA too... there was bonus given, but MINIMAL because it doesnt generate gazillions of income to the entity like investment banking... it's just a back office administrative role...

there are many types of compliance, internal, external... for citi AML mainly monitoring customers' accounts... so it is not so annoying as those compliance people that go around kacau people in the office...

To tell you the truth internal audit isnt so bad in the sense that you are not stuck in one office. I used to work with UOB and travelling was quite fun as you get to see places as well.

The other good thing is that you meet many different people and yes the job can be quite dull as it involves checking loan documents etc. Operations in banking is also dull as you may be in charge of certain sectionsd like current account etc.

i wud recommend you to check the benefits offered.. as i think this AML is not under the bank. its under some of their subsidiaries that is considered not a bank. so u wont enjoy the benefit of a bank staff.. check with PBB on hows their arrangements ?

Citigroup better, you will get more chance in future
however, if you are satisfy with working long term in one company, then you might consider PB

Hmm should have read this sooner, but I've already accepted an offer fr citigroup for AML. Was disappointed with the annual leave though. Was told 20 days by interviewer, but when I signed the offer letter was only 17 days... Anyone working there can give me a heads up of what its like? I'll be joining there end of this month. However for future career sake, citigroup is held in a higher regard compared to pb. Usually most big international corporations are. So if ur especially thinking of migrating in the future, citigroup would be the best choice.

And citibank is under citigroup, not the other way round

If you can remain at least 1 year in Citibank, u dont have to worry no banks wont hire you. They are very highly sorted even by other foreign banks in Malaysia

you were right in this particular SENTENCE... but if you read your offer letter... it is citigroup transaction services (M) sdn bhd that is hiring you... it's not the WHOLE CITIGROUP... so, this we call CTSM... it's under citibank MALAYSIA...

Rally? I thought ctsm would be a sub under citigroup instead of citibank?

Ahh ok, thanks. It'll look bad if I quit even before I started work there, I guess I'll stick around a year and see how it goes. Really deceptive when they advertise the position as corporate banking analyst sad.gif
