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?

.NET? I know some of friends in front-end / DPS are touching on .NET but I can't be sure.

@Vinci: I would be surprised if I can find you, haha, too many of credit card people running here and there =d Any chances you know people like Sow Thin / Shin Huay?

Heard that M'sia side is either announcing or on the way to announce the salary adjustment - guess those who don't make it are making a move

If you ain't bad in programming then you shouldn't have much problems in catching up - the first week is quite the basic stuff from the time that I had my training.

My orientation day was only one or two days of the first week and after that the training started straight till the end.

Unless banks / manufacturing companies decide to move out of RPG for good, there will always be a demand for RPG-related programmers. To be honest, I was told that RPG is a dying language back in college (7-8 years ago), so far - I am still waiting for it to die.

Haha, the guys from S'lake I know barely know enough to keep their jobs / handlers running, let alone the business knowledge... Then again, it might differs from one to another.

You won't find AS400 or RPG job ads on those sites too easily, most of these people know where they can go and apply for without relying on the general job hunter sites. Not forgetting, there are quite a few specialized head hunters that cater for AS400/RPG/CLE/etc programmers, and as said - those who gained sufficient business knowledge can also move on to positions within banks directly. Banks won't really need to put ads for these people in most cases thus making it scarce on sites like JobStreet/DB.
