Reading this makes me feel glad I left the industry 6 years ago to join an investment bank as a trader on the dealing desk. I nearly turn down the offer when I heard about how hard I have to work.

Oh man you won't believe it. The girls in the department that consult with clients are off the charts in looks. They are ambitious, aggressive and incredibly pretty.

It doesn't hurt after a long day starring at multiple screens.

yummy stuff

and they would do anything to get their ambition if u know what I mean?

So you know this recession like long time ago?

Nope I didnt know this recession thingy until this binyamin came replying in this thread.

but yes I notice that the oil n gas new project got lesser since Dec 2013 which I tot was due to many new engineering project on its way and it is time for fabrication and installation and later tendering

never did I know that later arab and usa shale gas came into the picture to cuz over supply of oil in today's world

What was your role in O&G? Wish I can go investment bank too.
But now CIMB, R&B, City also have VSS right?

I don't think his calculation works actually if not he wont still be in Malaysia, he will be here across the Pacific enjoying his millions like Jho Low.

or
Head of Asia Pacific in JP Morgan?

SLB.

I was in Singapore for a few years with an American ib (One of those known IB you probably heard about) before I join an American hedge fund but base in their Malaysian branch a few years ago. So I never work for a Malaysian ib. (Now my company plans to close their malaysia branch and merge them with their Singapore branch by the end of this year so I will have to be back there again..)

Ib is very hard work and usually people only work until 40 years old but by that time they are multi millionaires and that is in USD not rm. Their commission after every deal with clients is between tens of thousands to tens of millions. I got bored working the dealling desk in Singapore like I got bored doing wireline in SLB my attention span is too short to do the same thing day in day out. Hedge fund (quant fund) seems to jive well with my character so far. Everyday is a different day here.

Edit: I use to joke with my ex colleague saying that had I stayed on longer on the dealling desk I would have turn into a rogue trader out of boredom and would have brought down the whole bank like how barings bank was brought down by a trader turned rogue in the 90s. So it was really for a charitable cause that I left.

The way u wrote there kinda reminds me of the movie Boiler Room...

The financial world really does sound exciting. B4 i started doing engineering, I had always wanted to try finance but didnt know the route to it (not those working in consumer banking, but those analyst like from thestar biz section which I read b4 tertiary studies or those like u) so I just choose engineering. LOLX

So it is good news eh that ur skin is save and that u are going back SG after the merger

Interesting read... But the hell with the wrong date being put? Infact I read from bottom-up in the blog!

This david chin experience reminds me of my fren who was given scholarship in shell. My friend will do full time studying while working part time working with shell whenever class finishes. End of the day, the program went no where and it was another failed program.

Luckily my friend is on the road to recovery... from this system and back on track. well I hope so

Petronas hebat selama ini dengan usaha, komitmen, kerja keras dan semangat nasionalisme pekerja Petronas sendiri. Mereka jatuh dan bangun dengan Petronas. Setia dengan syarikat itu walaupun mendapat tawaran berpuluh kali ganda daripada syarikat utama dunia yang lain.

real tough time kick in

Check in...

Next yr may be worse.

Iran is kicking in.

If arab dun stop waging the price war bcuz of its huge reserves, then it will be USD20-30 average next yr

One guy that I know in that program is now a drilling supt in Petronas.

Any lubang to join ib as a fresh grad? Man, I kinda regret turning down KWAP's offer to become their investment analyst. The pay was quite good too. I just felt like it was a huge risk that time because they were heavily linked to the 1MDB scandal :/
