Hi guys, i got called up for the interview too on Monday.
Well before i read this thread i thought working in Citi is kind of glamorous but now it's kinda surprise to see so many negative comments here too.

the main reason i wanna enter and nail this offer is to gain more experience since it seems that the reasons i flunk previous interview or not qualified for the job is because lack of experience.

i wonder what is the prospect of this AMLA? and will the working experience in position help in future job hunting if i were to choose different career path (prolly like credit analyst) but still in banking line?

please advice smile.gif

I once had a chat with a nice chap at a hawker stall who once headed Public Bank's finance department, he saw my Citi tag and immediately pointed out to me that the exposure is limited and that career wise, I ain't going anywhere. I wholeheartedly agree and told him that it would only me temporary before I get a better job.

Y'all wanna know the hard truth, a senior who recently left said this to me, the people who stay here lacks ambition. A little bit harsh, but there's truth to it and it left me pondering at my options as well.
HAH! I knew it. Its a standard modus operandi for Citigroup intervew. Straight to the point. But people still join and a few months later, abruptly leave LOL.

How's your job hunt going? I find it quite tricky to make up an excuse to be able to go for an interview...There's a great opportunity that just appeared today which requires me to take an afternoon off sometime this week but I feel quite bad thinking of taking time off of work, but then again I see my seniors constantly being absent. Is it normal in your department?

People still want to join probably because of the name I guess. It's quite tempting really for me to try to discourage potential new hirees from accepting the offer!
