working there for 2 yr ++ then left n join local bank!

Can share your 2 years ++ experience there ?

hi there,
after read all the comment above, may i know whether the project based DW team (oversea) is stay at the clientsite for one month then come back to m'sia to rest 4 days?

thanks for advice

When I was at DW Team, yes, you stay at client site for one month and come back for 4 days. Reason is - you're entering the country (client site) with tourist pass, maximum stay is 4 weeks to 6 weeks...

You're not DW anymore?

hi penguin,

thanks for your info.

Nope, I left after working there for almost 17 months.

could you share with us why do u leave? the working environment or you have a better offer?

Oh, I left because I didn't want to travel anymore. And the working environment is quite stressful during my time (2002/2003) as the products are not very stable yet. I am not sure if things improve now.

But, the per diem for oversea travel is good. So, it's actually allowing you to earn quite a bit if you are posted overseas...

but from other silverlaker here said that no matter which country you r in but u still get the same allowance in MYR... so how you earn extra? eat very "simple" everyday?
and within 17 months in silverlake, do u feel you gain sufficiant knowledge to jump to other place? is the silverlake make u have any advantage to get better job (especially in $$)?

Yes, i think they give RM90 fixed per day. If your pay is RM2000, with RM90 fixed per day, you get extra RM2700 (assuming 30 days). If you're posted to countries like Vietnam or Indonesia, how much can you spend for eating? You won't be eating expensive food everyday right?

And you don't need to pay rental in M'sia, don't need to buy a car, don't need to pump petrol - basically you dont have much commitment.

Im ex-silverlaker from data warehouse team.

All i can said is ... all the good leader left already
only left those laouya leader...

Silverlake - data warehouse is only a stepping stone

Internet banking, core banking and others team its better than data warehouse team.
If you want to join silverlake please join other team don't join data warehouse.

you meant learning limited to the knowledge that can shared by senior? or limited on no one can teach you things?

may i know when u leave silverlake? u also bored to travel already?

Learning limited to the knowledge in term of learning more new thing.. u wont expect much there la
what they have done in one bank they just copy the source code n use in another new project so.. its a same thing actually.
U just need to modified some of the thing accordingly from the user requirement.

Im not bored of travel. and for your information silverlake is not the only company which can travel to overseas to work.

I resigned 3 years ago.

The value that u learn in silverlake DW its not much,compare with if you join core banking u learn RGP, AS400.

AS400, RGP is demanding in SG. u can get high paid there. But DW in silverlake its not much value ... they are using Microsoft BI tools.
while u can learn those Microsoft BI tools by your own.

If you join other BI company, then its diff story la..
