Hey guys,

I know it's way too early to decide as I'm only at the interview stage but do help me decide one over the other. I'm a fresh graduate from a local twinning accounting and finance degree program. Which would be better in terms of exposure and career advancements? Besides how is their salary package like? Bonuses, perks? Please and feel free to include anything that you think may affect my judgment as well yea.

I'm appealing to you guys out there to help me decide and thanks a billion in advance! smile.gif

Simple depend u wan work life balance or stressful but steep career prospect.

Former, choose BNM (higher starting salary, benefits etc, but slow growth)
Latter, KPMG (comparatively lower starting package (salary, bonus, benefits, etc etc but higher growth and can safely exceed BNM within 5 yrs, prudently speaking, but then u die faster oso, hehehe...just kiddingon the last part)

So working in BNM leaves you with limited career prospect. Say if I moved out after staying for a couple of years, would the experience that I've gotten from BNM still be valuable and perhaps held highly by future employers? Okay maybe not as much as I would have gotten from KPMG but still, valuable?

The only reason of me wanting to join BNM at this point is really the work-life balance and since there is not much career prospect I would probably move out into something better after gaining all that experience? Is it advisable?  blush.gif

doesn'tmake sense leh.
u mean u wan work life balance wen ur younger and more stress ur older?? hmmm tats is quite opposite of mst ppl's thinking.
Anyway, all expeirences are valueable, its a matter of how much relative to others.

In BNM i think the highest value, would be if u maintain very good connections with ppl inside, sometimes banks/FIs see value in such candidate with valuable connections with BNM and the insight of BNMoperations, but not so much of the experience lar. Alsp whether u bumi also makes a diff.

all that said im dunno wat position ur applying in BNM and wat u'll be doing. KPMG im assuming audit.
So i can only generalised, and also depends what is ur next job. if u joing banking compliance dept/ legal dept, BNM will have more value.
