I actually applied this job bcoz I am thinking that since it is a IT support centre that support almoz half the world, I would hav better chance to get expose to more new technologies... more programming skills... more mainframe... or.... jz more lar...
As a fresh graduate, I am offered rm2k, they said it is standard for all freshie in their company... is it ok in this industry for a newbie?... But I know anyther company that offer rm2200, but the company is smaller ( i think so ), i m worried that in the future, I will get limited to a few skills only... Does my thinking make sense?... |

QUOTE(mIssfROGY @ Dec 10 2006, 11:55 PM) yeap, its a 2 yers contract, goto be prepared coz u will be tied down. And yups...me worked in pj branch. Dunno about other projects, but the one that i was in, 8pm, its DEM EARLY, 11pm is just nice but better stay if u can still work. I worked be4 20hours straight (few times) and still gotto go back to work few hours later, 5 weeks non-stop no sat n sun off...and u name it i have done it. And yes, its definately worse than citibank manz....gawd it made citibank a heaven to work in compared to this place. (but again, it really depends on the proj you are workin on, my proj was the only one like this at that time) btw, oredi 4 team members left this proj so far....as in quit the bank) ya... wat is the penalty actually?... how much is it?... do u know it?...  I really need to say "warr!"  ... Although I expect long time working hours for IT job.... but i din't expect it to be everyday.... haha...mayb i m too 'fresh'!... then, is there actually personal time ??? ya... does this situation happen from day 1??? or after sometime of working... Then, how often actually will the salary increase since it is so suffering!!??  mIssfROGY, can i ask?... what actually did u learn here?... Is it a lot and the suffering is quite worth it... or is it totally "crap" and believe that there is other places that can provide better starting point for fresh graduate to work and learn at the same time... |

You can cabut 24 hour b4 you sign that confirm letter which lock you for 2 yrs contract. cabut lio still can write so ???!!! At least you have something great to write in your resume for your next job if you dont like the current one. "Oh man, I worked in scope International, subsidiary of StardardCharted !" In fact, I am really given 24 hrs to try first b4 signing the confirm letter???... |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Dec 12 2006, 12:35 AM) Hmm, I thought the Crystal Plaza place was ISCM only? o.o I dunno what the PJ branch call... coz havnt started yet.... but there is where i am offered a job and gone for interview... You didn't really give specifics so i'm assuming you got offered a job with IT365? That company is basically just tech support. ISCM is more for systems development and programming. Anyway if ISCM I'd say go, IT365 I'd say don't go. Call centre is =_=; and you don't learn anything useful. I mean ... you'd learn how to trouble shoot a bunch of proprietary systems that are used in Stanchart and nowhere else ... and 2 year contract? zzzzzz. On the other hand, the PJ office got quite a lot of hot chinese chicks  If so, is it still so horrible as our fren b4 said so... ? |
