like i said, its a HR ploy. i find it mildly amusing. i freaking hate HR though.

Just to clarify. Assistant Manager starting from Q then R. After that M for Manager. Further up AVP before you move up to VP1 and then VP2,3,4 and so on.

ah? maybe lar... i dont really remember... i only remember... Q then R... then others i dont really know... because... that path way was just too far ahead...

I been told by my fren , GE in Citi is depend on ur luck ... but mostly u will be place among those high turn over department ..

kind of dilutes the title, doesn't it? haha.

in my company, the singapore office is the same. as long as you have a degree you're an assistant manager. my friend there, there's 12 people in the team, 1 manager, 2 officers, 9 assistant managers ...

but the malaysia office, our structure was 1 head of department --> 3 assistant managers --> 15-20 staff under each asst mgr. by name we are assistant but got full managerial responsibility over the team ...

HAHA...

I would like to know how much is the salary for assistant manager lvl R and Manager?

Anyone go thru the Graduate Executive Programme interview before?Is it

very hard for the interview? Got any asessment and how many stages of the

interview?When wil this programme start this year?Is it they only choose

oversea graduate for this programme?Is is a sales job? Hope to get reply

soon. Thanks!!

I went through it. It wasn't difficult for me, it was face to face interview with the head of HR. Just one stage face to face but you have to be strong in academic performance as well as curriculur activities. Unfortunately all the GEs are oversea grad. There is no due date or specific date for the intake. You can basically apply straight through the website. This program is a 12-15 months program under 1 specific department of your choice and you will be assigned to 3 different assignments which you have to present to the head of the department and chief director. It involves works related to management and planning. Starting salary is RM3500

Thanks for ur info!!Haiz, that's mean no chance for local students to join this programme lo..huhu

Just my 2 cents, go for the job opportunity that offers you the most exposure and mileage on your CV and don't think about the money just yet. More importantly don't jump ship after 1-2 years just because another company offer you another 30-40% more in terms of salary. Trust me, there are alot of recruiters/companies willing to pay but once you do that yr CV koyak. Just like mine. Now I regret it especially when you are breaking into the mid level management. People will just say yr a job hopper. nyway congrats to ts. citi is a good bank. Stressful but if you can survive 4-5 years there, you can survive anywhere

I thought that the program will assign you to different departments as stated in the website (Cards, Retail, Mortgage, Operations, etc)?

that is for MA program - management associate

ggburne,

Do i have to submit with cover letter ?

Also, since you are from engineering background, do you think it's a waste not to work in engineering companies first before trying other sectors ?

Im asking because i just graduated from engineering degree too ... I have the urge to apply management trainee offered by bank .. but at the same time, I thought I should spend atleast 1 year in engineering to determine whether I'm suitable working in engineering field ... dilemma.

true. you might as well want to try engineering first and see whether it suits you. Sometimes I feel like wanting to apply for O&G but atm, i'm happy in citi. If I were to apply for engineering. I will make sure the money is more than what I earn now. Anyways, a cover letter would be nice but I don't think you really need it.

I applied to Citibank's GE program before chinese new year and I didn't get any reply.
Any advice? Should I call them and ask about my application?

Hi,

Does anyone know how is the interview process?

Thanks

i believe management associate program > graduate program.

Often in program like MAP, the company is serious in grooming you to become one of the company's future leader. I was from one of these programs.

Cheers

It is definitely not a HR ploy. Citibank recruits you as an assistant manager, you have a lot of authority to make impactful changes in the company and you are responsible for a few people in the company. Their income also in part relies on your actions. Your ideas will also be contributing directly into the financial line items.
