do stockjobbing,but risked for your money

chartered accountants make A LOT of money. and they don't seem to do that much. hmmm. *hint hint

do u know how much times u need to take before acquire the "chartered" word in front of ur name? by that time, u're not beginner/fresh graduate anymore...

not easy to find investment banking jobs in malaysia, especially for fresh graduates.

in singapore, a freshie in CSFB or deutsche can earn up to S$4.5k

Can the threadstarter define 'beginner' e.g. school leaver at Form 3, Form 5, Form 6, Certificate, Diploma, Bachelor, Master, PhD?

By the way, designations such as lawyers and chartered accountants are not for 'beginners' per se as they have additional requirements prior to being admitted as a member of the respective professions.

yeah.. totally agree..
chartered already professional level already, aint beginner anymore

banking....
they apparently accept anyone with a recognized degree of any field as their slave. goes up to 2k and more for basic and after confirmation i.e. increment by hundreds to one thousand depending on banks.
good career prospect, throw away your degree once u get the job and re-learn everything about society.

BA~~~~....
sell buntut la... earn alot wan..

actuarist or investment banker... the pay is based on basic + commission? any degree holder as in fresh grad can apply? can give more details pls? like what's the job about, how to get into that field, what is expected, struggles.. n so on.. expected salary as well..hehehe... thanks

it depends on the bank on which department has a lot of openings. some of my friends were in the insurance, some in loans, credit card sales, trust funds and etc. as far as i know, any fresh grad can apply. the job is really dependent on the vacancies available.
u can just check the papers or submit your resume to the HR department enquiring if they're hiring or not.
as for struggles... normal lah. they pay u 3K and u work like hell. after a while, u become "it's all about the money" person.

My advice to fresh grads: Don't make a big fuss about which job pays you the most. To put it bluntly, I'll call this short sightedness. Think about the medium to longer term la e.g. where do you aspire to be in 5 years time that sort of thing. As if you are going to have the best paying entry-level job and stick with it the rest of your life.

Look at it this way, all professionals ranging from accountants to doctors to lawyers...start off with peanuts. It is your attitude and aspirations which determines whether you deserve top dollars a few years down the road, when you have done some actual work to be evaluated. Otherwise, it is mere wishful thinking at this very moment.

be a lampe berger agent.

There is a difference between banking and investment banking.

I-banks are difficult to get into. Even if you're from a university like Imperial College. The pay is very good even for a fresh graduate. Have you heard of Goldman Sachs? Morgan Stanley? Merrill Lynch?

These institutions are also very prestige conscious. As such, it is very difficult for a common university graduate to make it.

No surprise not many ppl heard of Investment banks in malaysia. its very new here. i think only last yr malaysia allow 5 IBs to operate here.

as far as i know they dont hire freshies in malaysia. but if got hire i expect starting pay of at least RM4-5K

actuarial science.. isn't that the one which calculate the risks for insurance? are they related to investment banking too?

lampe berger???????????

There is no such thing as most high paid job, do you really expect your boss to pay you 3k above for a freshie? Maybe yes for some rare case, but just think, if you are boss, will you hire a new guy with such high cost?

I think the most highly paid job is doing sales, becoz there is no limit on how much you can earn. Of coz, sales do not hv bottom limit also.

There are many, not in Malaysia though.
