Malaysia is always 5 ~ 10 years behind the rest of the world, I suppose Malaysia would be good for now but global trends do get picked up by local banks quickly.
To get to the core of it. Insurance agent ~ financial planner
Broker ~ investment banker
New labels for age old jobs?

QUOTE(reggaejazz @ Jan 22 2013, 11:59 PM) what about level 2 and level 3? Level 2 achievable but I was not able to get it due to work commitment. Only my Ethics, FI & AI were in 50-70 buckets. The rest were in >70 buckets. Level 3 would be harder I guess because of the structured questions. |
