Heard that it is 2k for fresh grad and 300 extra once confirmed. Not sure how true it is.

3 tiers of daily per diem based on your salary (for those posted overseas only)
< 3k - RM 90
< 4k - RM 110
> 4k - RM 120

Dubai is RM 150 per day. Only few senior staffs are eligible for RM 180 per day.

Japan is USD 50 per day if not mistaken.

thank you
im not sure yet which team they didnt tell
probably .net and mssql since i have mcts cert in db admin

Oh..You havent know under which the team.
Well..I am not working in Silverlake but my friend going to have an interview after CNY.
According to him, he required to attend an interview which under VB team.
So he is wondering what team actually is VB team in Silverlake.
Does anyone know?

if client site u'll be at menara Maybank

Accommodation and transportation is provided for u. So the RM 150 should be more than enough for food and groceries. Normal meal costs from RM 7 - RM 25.

quick question, do they send you to client site or oversea during probation period or it just for confirmed position only?
and what is the working hour at HQ, I'm gonna start next week but still don't know
my HR department contact holiday all week so cannot ask

it depends whether they need ppl on site or not. some ppl got to travel right after they join. recently more and more ppl working off site at HQ.
working hour...haha...depends on project and how hardworking are u. some ppl leave at 5.30 sharp..some leave at 9 or 10 or even later.

R u actually working in silverlake now? i ask because you basically just join this forum and very active in replying our questions... or r u one of the HR staff?

yea..don't worry i'm not from HR

Do you meant that the VB team might be Insurance team?
Then based on ur experience, do the team required to travel overseas?

i dun mind leave time, i have no other commitment so can stay until 10
but what time go in? 9am? 830am? huhu ...
i really hope they post me somewhere in kl, quite far HQ from my house

is there any incidents which silverlake sue its ex-employee for breach of trust & confidentiality ? especially programmer?

hmm..i wondering..silverlake called me this noon for interview on this thursday..never mention which position i going to..

thinking whether worth to go for a try or dont..
i currently working in DKSH as IT support..second week of work
afraid to take annual leave so early..later demerit by my boss

but in the other hand... i can save up to at least 300 riggit per month for transportation
fee if i shift to silverlake..

Silverlake is one of the big software houses specializing in financial systems. They have a good track record and the pay is pretty good. You will find talented developers that used to work for the major banks/life insurance companies there because the pay is better than what their previous company paid them.

this company has many (financial) projects

depend on which team and who you joined.
2 main characters will affect your working experience, your proj mgr, and your senior/team lead

btw, you don't forever stick to 1 fixed team. expect to be change and move around, though most proj mgr will tends to retain their team, especially if you are good.

their core product is RPG, then Cobol
if you looking for tech learning, not much you will find in this system
but if you not for tech pursue, you can learn few core banking products.
but its likely once you assigned to a specific product team, you will likely stick to it long term.

the Java and other new pc tech are in their subcompanies like Axis and other.

Wow..You seems like quite understand about silverlake.
I think you are one of the silverlaker right?

Well..What you meant by specific product team?
What is the team under specific product team?

my current job also siting.. what a hell i am doing as a operator and i am a degree graduated. but they pay me 2800.. i come here just sit and see the monitor for 12 hours. 1 week work 3 days

I don't and never worked for Silverlake, though I'm awared about it and worked in similar type of company b4.

Banking sys is lot; Credit Card, ATM, Cheque Processing, Loan, .....

You basically will be assigned to 1 of this team developing specifc product (ATM, Loan, etc)
Sometime you may or may not be reassign to other product team, at most only temporary to help other team for delivery
But you can always request to change team, just need to convince your PM and the other team PM, but practically PM don't exercise relocate team member.

I am interested to work in Silverlake System.

Can anyone tell me how I can go about it?

I have more than 10 years overseas working experience working on core retail banking.financial systems using COBOL.
I have no experience working on CICS and RPG programming environment but I am willing to learn.

Thank you.
