So a bit of background, I am going to graduate in a couple of months. My degree is finance and I would like to work as financial analyst or business analyst.

What is your opinion for fresh grades, should we go to protege program in big firms or just find a job?

big firm

management trainee programs

go for protege program, explore abit make some connection, if found a job then lompat.

My friend was under the recent Protege program for Sime Darby.

protege programs: a government initiative, hence most companies that are vendors of the government will be forced to offer this program as part of their contract with the gov. Generally pays RM2k/month for a one year contract. Only choose for this option if you received an offer from reputable companies/GLCs (i.e: EPF, KWAP, CIMB, Maybank, Axiata Celcom, TM, Sime Darby etc)

Management trainee programs: Individually crafted programs by each MNC/GLC. Some of the more famous ones include GMAP by Maybank. TCB by CIMB, AGP by Axiata, Nestle, Unilever etc. Usually pays RM4k-5k and very competitive application. Accepted applicants are usually groomed to be future leaders of the company

big firm. or talent serious firm. mind if I ask which uni?

Sure, UTAR

Too bad, UTAR's career centre is practically non-existent. They dont have the connections to connect you with HRs from renowned companies

Mayb can explain if the many fresh grads, y r u special.

Hi TS,

I cant comment much on FA side of things but for BA its relatively generic but I suggest that you want to marry the right job or at least you know what's the path you want to take as a BA in which specific industry as well.

Hey thanks man for the video, really adds some perspective

"My degree is finance and I would like to work as financial analyst or business analyst".

then better pick those banking trainee programs from Maybank, CIMB or any reputable companies.... u can go little far.. with some exposure / basic... then straight to job...
