I once knew a Singaporian senior senior Lifting engineer. He told me he was making SGD15,000 a month but that is in Singapore.....

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.

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.
