guys.. i'm a silverlaker now.

one thing good bout here is.... LEARNING! guess most of them say the same thing too. it will be really a good spring board. There are many company out there that loves to "grab/snatch" silverlaker. and even put SILVERLAKER is an added advantage in the job description.

by this year 1st aug, it will be 2 year sharp for me.

well.. no bonus.

travel? oversea? depends on which team ur in.

my team? The best in silverlake! haha....lhwbrian agree?

RPG is really a nice thing to learn.

I'm goin to join Silverlake on May. My interviewer is Mr Lee (Project Director) - Data Warehouse.
The team leader good or not?
During the interview, he said i hv to travel to oversea very often. Which country actually? I know Silverlake has 11 branches at oversea, so normally we travel to other branch to support? or other that these 11 countries?

Now i realised that no bonus at Silverlake, if the increament is good (15%) then i think its equal to almost 2months bonus (15% increament x 12months).

I believe that Silverlake is the good place to learn the banking stuff. Honestly... i don hv experiences in this fields, i'm from engineering line (software). I also get shocked when they offer me the position.

Any tips for me???

TQ

Mr lee... er... wear spec got bit white grey hair one ar? hehe.. not very sure... but i have work with data warehouse ppl... they are all friendly la... mayb i'm lucky to have meet those friendly one.. haha not sure.

Yea... definately a good place to learn banking stuff. if ur in datawarehouse line, most probably u will learn quite a few of module regarding their databases and mainly u guys do report for BNM. biggrin.gif i'm working on that to with datawarehouse ppl.

Tips? Datawarehouse surely need SQL lor.. learn up SSIS SSRS, which is the new term for DTS for SQL 2005 wink.gif reporting services as well. Some of the site uses sql 2000 some uses sql 2005. But if u know the concept not a problem for you to move around wink.gif

why u got shock when they offer u the position?

He mean that if you travel overseas (like Jakarta), you allowance is fixed to RM90 per day, regardless you work overtime or not. Overtime claims are not available if you claiming allowance through per diem.

Some project sites might need you to work 6 days a week while overseas, and you still get the same rate. Some need you to work very late through the night, and you still get the same rate. Even if you're off or working on Sunday, you still get the same rate, as long as your person is "overseas", you get the flat rate of RMxx per day.

About that adjustment+increment, well my friend after first year got RM600. That is RM300 from increment, and RM300 from first year adjustment.

I believe though he is lucky, as I heard most first year ppl get only RM400 for their first year increment/adjustment, means they only get RM100 for their increment, as the First Year Adjustment is fixed to RM300 already.

agree... some jst go there goyang kaki most of the time.. that is for those which needed support only. those under development is the most hetic one...

increment wise... if u look for a big jump dun come here... if u wish to learn things , ur welcome. it's a china man company.
