wahh..oversea grad so easy to get job arr..i thought for oversea banks like citibank or OCBC Assistant Manager is called Vice President.

i love how companies try to empower their employees by giving them positions that have important sounding titles. its a HR ploy. if im not mistaken, assistant manager is just one rung up the ladder from an officer (entry level) at citibank. at ambank an assistant manager is like 4 or 5 positions higher than an entry level executive. im not familiar with the working environment in citibank but i cant imagine the graduate program will be very different from that of CIMB and AmBank which i have friends working at. just try not to expect too much when you first go in.

I think an assistant manager position is similar to that of an associate, which is usually offered to MBA holders. Role and rank definition still rings true in most firms.

wait..... so they are offering the same position to an MBA holder who has had 3-5 years working experience and has passed his professional exams to a 2nd upper fresh-grad? that does not sound right. also, how did you guys go through the interview process without asking them what the job scope is?

Isn't that the usual course of actions taken by Asians? Get an engineering degree then jump into business. But seriously, university has the potential to suck out the interests in things which you were initially interested in, too much technical mojo I guess. But then again, commerce is easier to relate to and apply in the real world. When I was flipping through my friend's engineering textbook, I was @.@ . Welcome! smile.gif
