annual leave is 25days, and if you have already work for 5 years then it will become 30days..

ah ha...at least this attracted me ....

Thank you Chester for your info.
I will continue pursue to other bank IF CIMB reject me.

chester is speaking about his level at cimb (e.g the annual leave days, epf%), just that, he's not revealing which location he is situated at..

thus, whatever was mentioned about cimb is not "just that", i'm sure when you're able to move up in the organization hierarchy, your benefits will be enchanced/added alongside with it.

hi chester,

need your insight/help.. since you did mentioned about reducing balance loan here, is it a monthly reducing balance or annually reducing balance type?

does the bank allows pre-payment to your staff loan on top of your regular payment?

for housing loan im not really sure but for car loan, if u ask hr they will say 4%. they wouldnt bother telling u its reducing balance. till when i want to buy a car, someone told me it must be reducing balance. upon checking with hr, i asked them to calc for me for the amt that i wanted to borrow and amt that i need to pay, i calculated its roughly 2.1% interest rate (after u take in the reducing balance). i dont bother taking loan from the bank anyway coz the process takes up to a month. i just drop by PBB and get everything done in a day but of coz i wasted my benefit as a banker

Wah here discussion about job or loan?

I work at CIMB oso. While studying on part-time basis. Environment okay. So far so good. They let me study and give me off when i got classes.

i planned to go for CIMB investment bank. tot of joining corporate finance.
Any idea of this job? pros & cons?

I'm okay with long working hrs just tat i'm afraid i cant get in. heard it is very diff...

Mind to share ur experince here?

hi chester,

thanks for the pointer.. but wouldn't it be better to enquire from the branch/loan officer instead? i'm sure they can
explain better regarding staff loan better than hr? (pardon my pun, but some hr has retorted to just admin role)

a month waiting for processing is definitely worth the wait, considering the amount you can save/leverage here. at least you can put good capital to work harder..

i understand that you guys get additional 1% for deposits, how about foreign currency fd? are you guys given additional percentage or a waiver to the bid-ask spread (or the buy-sell difference)?

hi manglersji,

a staff loan is a benefit that falls within the purview of working in a bank, in this context, cimb.. am i right to say?
nice to know that you work in cimb, which part of the bank do you represent? retail? islamic? or the group?

hi thetraffic,

it's one thing about the long hours, but it's totally another thing about one capability to contribute in those grueling hours..

if you're dead serious about going into this field and able to swim along with it.. you might want to make it your own due diligence to read up about such role from more credible sources rather than just a "one-liner question"

hearsay is as good as what you would like to believe in.. preparation is what puts you into better position.

lwb,

only HR can process the loan. Was kinda dissappointed, too much trouble to take the loan. The HR claim all will be process by them, cant do at any branch..

would like to know all of the benefits as mentioned above applied similary on all corporate (Islamic, consumer,investment and group)?

will like to knw is there any IT positions available in CIMB now?

hi aa1985,

yeah, branch environment is never easy.. you have ridiculous targets to achieve and tight budgets to run the show.. the situation can be so tense, until alot of branch managers actually bail out.. which branch are you at?

say, given the choice.. would you prefer to work in maxis or cimb?
