Please don't mind me being straight forward.

I find that TS' tone and statements quite unreliable and way too exaggerating, not as professional and solemn as one who works in a bank should behave.

The problem lies in the intention of TS which he wants to interview only candidates from top 200 unis ( i don't think he only wants that, he wants those from Imperial, London School, or maybe Wharton) with excellent results ( presumably strong 2nd upper and 1st class honours).

If there is such a person exists in Malaysia, i fail to see why he or she wants to join TS's bank. He might as well aim for Mc Consulting, Bain Consulting, CIMB, Maybank , Bank Negara , Khazanah and etc.

So, there goes TS endless whining and complaining.

Or, TS just wanna TROLL.

cool, come to my bank and meet me. Will be happy to show you the toilet outside ECM.

Was told the ladies smell though.

Btw, presume I am at forum, not some drafting meeting for the prospectus of any landmark IPO.

Dropouts from Wharton works for me too. Anyone can demonstrate ability to analyse and good english and track record of being smart is good enough for me. Baseline is that you have some x-factors or you come from top 200 unis. Everyone gets a fair chance, but review could be so direct that it is hard to take, bcos that is how my boss work.

May I know that in your team (RHB), are they all from the same league of Wharton, Cambridge , MIT , Imperial or etc ?

Or they are just like you, from NTU and the less known unis but still better then the local universities ( according to certain perceptions)

Dear ****,

We all cap palang degree here in ECM but my CF colleagues are LSE etc. we are interviewing the cambridge and the more decent uni, yes, we the cap palang interview them.

Then again, we are looking into couple of candidates from UM, Malaysia, and they are top of their class... top top...not just first class. Ha, that is the X-factor.

It's not that hard to find people from top 200 universities (I myself is one of them), unless you are talking about the top of the top such as Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, and the like.

If you want the top people graduating first class from top universities, it would be very hard because they either stay overseas or they come back and go to Singapore.

You chose the right screen name, that's for sure.

Oops, somebody just butt-hurt it think.

Then, how come so long already still cant find "THE ONE"?

Such as offering the jobs to the 1st class/top unis then being rejected after that? or you just too happy to troll us in forum?

We have since move on to assessment centre where selected candidates are being offered an assignment and 10 calendar days to prepare.

Recruitment take time. We dun risk to hire ppl and fire them or have them resigned.

For all butt-hurt ppl who think i should lower my standard, even as I lower it, you may not get through assessment centre. More importantly, if you screwed up your local Uni degree with CGPA to the point that it could be below 2.5/4.0, I dun see a point of interviewing you, unless you have strong x-factor.

Everyone is given a chance to pitch their x-factor. There is no preference for elite elite here, we look at non-cambridge as well.

It just the candidate have to be impressive, one way or another. If you represented Msia in Taekwando before, we are keen to explore. If you do something that demostrate determination, we want to hear from you.

If you part time at KFC only and have lousy grades, we cannot afford to process the application.

Year in year out, standard chartered international graduate / HSBC MA Programme rejects thousands of good ppl, yet butt-hurt candidates dun make that much noise. Because I am here standing for you to fire at me, u just want to do it to feel good. By all means come, I am glad it could of help to relieve the pain at your butt.

To reiterate, if local U + results not good, yet no X-factor, you are out.
If english sucks, you are out.

i see you point , but Standard Chartered International Graduate / HSBC MA Programme >>>>>>>>> RHB Bank (ECM whatever)

Its just like MIT, Standford, Imperial, London, Cambridge, Oxford, >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> UM, UPM, NUS, NTU.

No worries man, thank you very much. I do feel good now. 

i have this urge to just try my luck and see where I stand in your perceived 'standard' of current gen employees ... then again, I'm kinda amused by the possibility that you might be just simply trolling. Haha. pardon me yea .. its an online world where we are all sceptical to each other anyway.

I've got a question for discussion though, judging by your experience, what do you think is your company's draw factor for talented young graduates compared to top IBs like Deutsch, CS, MS, JPM etc ?

I mean, because you said your company wanted talents from the likes of Wharton - I suppose talent from unis like that would've been more than qualified for those international IBs, earning probably triple your stated salary here, and gain exposures that local IBs simply cannot provide..

China Nonferrous Mining Corp postponed its Hong Kong IPO of up to HK$2.44bn (US$313m), due to worsening market conditions.

The company, which had originally planned to close books on May 24, last week decided to extend its bookbuilding process.

The postponement comes after China Yongda Automobiles Services scrapped its proposed Hong Kong IPO of up to HK$3.37bn (US$433m) on Monday.
CNMC, a copper producer with operations in Zambia, had planned to sell 870m shares at an indicative price range of HK$2.10–$2.80 each, representing a 2012 P/E of 6.0–7.9.

Three cornerstone investors had agreed to take up about US$70m of the float. Cosco and Wise Pine were to subscribe to US$30m each, and China Railway Construction to US$10m.

ABC International, CICC, JP Morgan and UBS were the leads on CNMC’s transaction.

China Yongda Automobiles Services has decided not to proceed with its proposed Hong Kong IPO of up to HK$3.37bn (US$433m), due to the deteriorating market conditions. Last week, the company decided to extend the bookbuilding to May 28.

China Great Wall Electric has delayed the roadshow for its proposed Hong Kong IPO of around US$100m. The company had initially planned to open the books on April 23 and price the deal on April 30.

Credit Suisse and Guotai Junan Securities (Hong Kong) are handling the transaction.

Hong Kong-listed China Communications Construction finally launched its long-awaited Shanghai IPO, after slashing its fundraising size by 75% to Rmb5bn (US$793m). According to sources, the decision to slash the deal size was due to pressure from regulators. CCC first announced plans for a Shanghai listing at the end of 2010 with the goal of raising up to Rmb20bn at the time, but the offering was delayed due to market volatility.

Pricing is slated for two days later. BOC International (China) and Guotai Junan Securities are joint sponsors, and lead bookrunners with Citic Securities. Zhong De Securities, Goldman Sachs Gao Hua Securities and UBS Securities are joint bookrunners.
