what do u mean by turn over??

turn over means rate of people leaving or entering the company

wah....u understand wor...... ....but i still thinking of that RPG programming field.....still have market value?...

silverlake are employing 100+ freshy...u say got market value or not???

Yes, able to use Windows Messenger. Not WLM dou. WLM available if u ask the admin to install it for u but i dun think u would do dat when ur new.

Internet is blocked so its not only facebook. haha.

wa...so strict.....then it would be a boring day if no job for me that day...

Haha. Nearly impossible no job la.

When ur new maybe. You can take ur time learning the system etc. Sooner or later ur team lead will ask u to do something. If not, ask him/her. Take initiative lo. Could help the appraisal ma.

u working at SL?

lol no internet suscribe ur own BB la if not really boring hehehe. Its normal trend, lots of company block internet usage to technical staff but available to those upper management staff. So dont whine about it. I hear my friend say silverlake is getting more strict in increment evaluation. u not perform just sit at office sure cant get increment

so strict??...

Hi all, does anyone here is from loan team?

May I know that what are the work that loan team perform every day?
Does this team deal with the programming things most of the time? and what languages they use?

Tq

omg ik3da fancy seeing you in this thread lol
Well I'm one of those friends who's left =p
Ex-silverlaker gang now! haha

Just went for interview yesterday. I was first interviewed by Mr. Bunny Khoo, but I refused to enter his department/team (DWM) because I had bad experiences with databases. I told him I wanted to be in RPG team as two of my friends are currently under RPG. Then he was so kind to pass me to another interviewer - Ms. Elaine Tan (if I'm not mistaken). She told me she's under RPG/Java so it's okay for me.

For my situation, I worked with my father as an assistant manager and programmer for 1 year before I moved here to deliver my baby. I developed a simple POS system for the company using VB.NET. When I prepare my resume, I thought my working experience for programming is zero since I'm not a full-time programmer. But according to Ms. Tan, I'm considered to have 1 year experience on VB.NET.

After the interview, I'm so worried that I'll be sent to overseas as I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy on 8 December 2009. I can't leave my husband and newly born baby like that...

Now I'm asking your opinion, I wrote RM 2.5k as my minimum expected salary. Do you think it's reasonable for me? (I was paid RM 3k previously) Will my results and awards received affect the salary given to me? If I wrote RM 2.5k, will they pay me higher?

Thanks for answering.

Well,

RPG is totally a new thing (or too old) compared to VB.net . If u were assigned to do RPG/backend, you'll have to attend a 1 month RPG training. If ur doing java, i think they have java team as well. Its more into R & D I guess.

However, if u dont wanna go overseas, u can tell them. They seldom send some1 new to go oversea as well because there is lots of ppl waiting to go

Vinci777,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, Ms. Tan told me there'll be one month training for RPG, but for Java, it's a no (of course). For me, RPG or Java is okay. Even VB.NET or ASP.NET also okay. But DWM, NO! Haha!

It's sad to know that I'm considered as experienced so after 6 months probation, there is no increment / adjustment to my salary...Now I regret to write just RM 2.5k...

hi there,
i just got an internship position in silverlake data center doing network related stuff. Does any1 know what are d tasks in that department? I'm more interested in computer networking. do u think this department will give me a good exposure?

At wisma kemajuan ss19? If ur good, pls go. Pls check out why there is always internet dc issue. HAhaha.

Im not sure about the exposure. Its a data center for 2 of our oversea clients. Development room have around 20ppl but the datacenter room shud be less den 10 including operators. There i think u would have data center experience of how to handle as400 admistration like hardware upgrade etc etc. My guess ^^

Thx! Btw, in your opinion, what do u think about network career compare to programmer?

i am wondering how do programmers here solve your code problems if internet is blocked since we can do our research on internet if there are any problems...got tons of solutions out there from internet......

Yeah! Totally agree. I always search from the internet for solution when I encounter problems. So if internet is blocked, who should we refer to if we have coding problems? Our senior or team leader??

Wonder if I can bring my own laptop with broadband services...
