Okay, guys. Help me out here.

Job Title : Graduate Trainee Program (Finance)
Job Description : Costing, account, bookkeeping, budgeting, basically everything in the finance field.
Years/month spent in company : 0
Company : MNC - Food industry, so huge commercial company, with regional offices and factories around the globe.
Industry : Finance
Tenure : Permanent (starting Aug 2011)
Bond: 3 years
Education: Degree - 2.99 CGPA
Employment Level : Fresh grad?
Experience before joining : 6 month internship in a tax firm, 2 months working in the same tax firm
Salary : RM2.4k
Benefit: Standard (medical, annual leave, insurance), training is all on the company and since Im joining the training program, there'll be lots of training and exposure to different areas of the finance field, annual trips, annual dinners. They expect me to be mobile as I will be shifted throughout asia pacific to their regional offices as to increase my experience and gain exposure to international working culture. And they said they'd pay for my ACCA.

Havent gotten an offer letter yet, but the guy who interviewed me and the boss said that they strongly want to offer me a job in the program. Just that gotta wait till my medical check up results to be out cuz they're in the food industry, so all their employee has to be healthy up to a certain level.

Should I say yes? Bear in mind that I am based in Selangor, and I have a job starting next month (2k for 3 months probation, then after that 2.3k) and the office is just 3 mins walk from my house, but the job offer from the MNC is in Johor, so I would incur additional costs as I'd need to rent a room and probably drive to work, instead of just walking.

And I probably wont get to see my friends and families much as I'd need to be mobile in the MNC. But its a good opportunity, just that currently Im undecided.

i'd suggest the MNC due to the reasons below:

- it looks better on your resume
- i assume you're still young, so why hesitate to travel & be far from home
- the MNC offers more benefits and obviously a better platform to gain vital experiences locally & internationally

all the best!

Disagree with your 3rd statement. Experience and learning curve is dependant on the company itself whether is it SME or MNC.

Speaking from SME perspective, where you are required to do the work of a few people and at the same time achieve outstanding results for the work in your own job scope, you definately learn and experience more cause you get the bigger picture.

Hence, the reason why many complain that SME's are mostly china like companies and overwork you because they cant afford to hire more people. This is where they miss the big picture. The learning curve and experience beats anything and everything else. Even SME's have the chance to gain international experience FYI.

Agree with Kelvin. For young people, i would suggest to join small company. From there, normally is "1 leg kick" and you learn alot which i dont think you can learn from MNC. Better to suffer in early age then have a better future later.

MNS sounds nice, but most of the time you are doing nth or wait for someone due to procedure or too many dependencies to finish 1 simple task.
Just my opinion and my experience, may not same as others MNCĀ  cool2.gif

i know it depends. duhh, i was referring to that particular MNC who offered the job to xeda. xeda has already described that the MNC has promised him such benefits.
