well they took a lot of project i guess

at least tat's wat my fren told me

so xander...r u working there already?

Boss strategy to take in cheap labour. By not giving out increment this year, I suppose he is expecting many young seniors to resign and replaced them with fresh grads. Every month there is few ppl leaving hence the 100 vacancies is needed. Afterall, Silverlake is always hiring and wont retrench it staffs because they knew you will automatically resign yourself unless you are patient.

Btw, u wanna apply? HR mentioned that there will be no promise of increment to its staffs but I do believe this is a good company to start off if u wanna see urself in a banking system industry because most banks have is using our module be it card system, retail banking, insurance, etc etc.

haha i am going for the interview this coming monday dy...
=.=
then anyone know the starting salary for now??
i put expecting salary 2.6k in my resume..
if they wan cheap labour why they asked me for interview..
somemore i am currently working in a company also with salary >2k le..
so weird...
hahahaha
hopefully not just to waste my n their time la..

They want cheap labour anytime but they do treasure experience staffs. I mean really treasure them esp those with banking knowledge.

What position r u applying for? Programmer? Business analyst? 2.6k is reasonable if u come in with experience. Only fresh grads get 2k.

Go for the interview and see how it goes. Good luck to u as well. Btw, Monday and Friday is the day whereby Silverlakers take their replacement leave due to Depavalli fall on Sat. There wont be a lot of staffs around ^^

i don have banking knowledge..
but when i said i like .net n have experience in it they seems happy (through phone)
haha
hopefully can get what i hope for la..

They wont be bonus as this is not Silverlake culture. Not even Cny angpau. Kudos to the 34 richest man in M'sia.

Rumors saying that increment would be on the Friday (pay day) but I do not put high hope on it. The benefit is the staff sit close to each other because they wont have their own cubicle. Its more like rows of development desk. Less politic dou.

Well babyclam, congrats by passing the interview. If you dont mind telling, what team r u joining? My guess would be Credit Card?

Akirax: You can try submit ur resume. I think they still taking inters and will always do so.

The company is decent if you are finding a place to start off - it is not as bad as you think, especially if you get overseas project. Anyway, give it a try unless you have a better offer. I know a lot of my friends have yet to leave or plan to leave.

Vinci, what team are you in? DD?

Yes. Its actually a good company to start with. If ur able to go to overseas project, it will be better due to the per diem that u can claim.

ik3da: I'm in credit card and its a huge team so I do not fear u finding out who I am. Hahaha. If u do, come say hi ^^

hmmm seriously i dunno which team they are placing me..
but i am gonna do .NET
they wanna change form java to .NET woh...

yea overall this company don seem bad...

haha i'm a fresh grad n i get the salary i asked for..
don think its tat bad...
