yup why not? just go for it!
at least u get a clearer idea on the real case scenario before you put ur hands on it!
no high expectation, no disappointment

im gonna go for my 2nd interview in 2 weeks time.. since nobody here can advise me on the position that they are offering which is as a senior auditor.. then i'll just wait and see.. the interview will be conducted by the senior manager of that department.. Yes its true that it is boring if you keep doing the operations i.e fund accounting or etc. the only senior auditor there told me about this as she initially joined RBC as part of the operations workforce. but when I realized she leaved EY for RBC and subsequently involved internal transfer then i think i should hear what they can offer 1st.. what i know is that i dont have to rush.. I have also had a good interview with PETRONAS yesterday so hopefully it worked because I will surely go for PETRONAS over RBC;)

Ya.Coz previosuely i at Cimb just an Retail equities Executive and getting vr less salary.If i was in Real IB which like treasury or CF those.Definately i wont leave.The job role in those IB normal admin or trading position is also kind of repeated(which i was incahrge both of it) .what i m feeling was why i don wan grab for a better offer and at least i learn some new thing.

i see... thanx martin_heng, at least now i can narrow down my search alrd

Hii Miloaiz...are u sure After ONE month the basic wil increase to RM2500??? not after probation (after 6months) thn just wil increase to 2500??? because in the offer letter stated "Upon confirmation of employment, your salary wil adjsuted to 2500......." I am doubt with tis...

I'm a fresh grad, juz came back from mid valley career fair today, got an interview next week for funds accountant

They offer basic 2.3k + 500 car allowance + 750 shift allowance, the pay is attractive for a fresh grad, but after reading all the post, now i dun feel like joining them if i'm only doing repetitive work

Investment banking sounds interesting though...

hi there . I'm also a fresh grad, got an interview for fund accountant next week from the mid valley jobstreet career fair . HAHA . after seeing all those comments bout the position, it also give me some nerves bout joining RBC . any tips for interv next week . ?

hmm most interesting,
I'm wondering if I should choose RBC or Kenanga.

the job scope does sound repetitive but so is auditing and many CFOs often have backgrounds in Accounting and many seniors i have met in banking often have some form of accounting experience.

also given that you'll be dealing with fund managers/management, wouldn't fund accounting provide a good foundation for asset management in the future?

I eventually want to be in asset management and be a financial analyst
is fund management with RBC Dexia a good place is start at?

I do not mind slogging for a few years if it provides a good foundation for something bigger.

Hi, I went to MHFC today, I was interviewed by this sweet person, who was asking me about bonds, which I couldn't answer , It was unexpected and I totally blanked out, anyway she gave me her no. to call back if I'm still interested, so they can give me another chance for interview, I'm wondering is it the same for you guys as well?

after thinking for a while, don't all works are repetitive? even auditing is doing the same thing over and over, i think i'm goin to have a try there, fresh grad ma, kenot be choosy

the interviewer told me to focus on what i have learned during my uni time, thing that i have not learned that i no nid worry, haha, need to dig out those old notes

MHFC? the comp that interview me is rbc dexia, same for chocpuding... by any chance that sweet person name is cilia?

same as nasi ayam . the comp that interviewed me is RBC Dexia . I forgot the interviewer name but he's from Hong Kong, Manager of Fund Accounting (that is the position he offered me in that need to come for interview this coming tuesday) . He's Been working with RBC for 10yrs and . Transfered to RBC Malaysia for almost 2yrs now and yes, the HR lady name is cilia who was the one scheduled me for my next interview . Hehehe .. indeed . Quite hard for fresh grad to get a job now so I just give it a try for the RBC interview plus on wednesday, I got an interview with RHB offered position as an Finance Exec . Also, give it a try ;p

btw, what is MHFC . ? hehe .

Oooops my bad, i meant mctf Yes, the sweet person name is definitely Cilia. So did they ask you about bonds and so? She told me, if intersted I can call her, but I so paiseh... after all I totally blanked out.

No she didnt ask me anything related to my studies . I went to the interview room then the person (not Cilia) asked me to briefly explained bout myself etc . then he told me to set my next interview with Cilia . That's all .

What position that they offer u . ? Maybe that is why she asked u bout the bonds etc . heheheh . So did u happen to get the next interview . ?

Added on April 18, 2011, 12:32 pmI'm not quite sure how much they offer for experience person since I'm only a fresh graduate applied for the same position as well . From the interview that I went last friday during the job fair at midvalley, the working hours start at 3pm until 12midnite and as for the level of interview which I read in this forum, they got 2 level of interview . the second one they said is the conference call with the upper level mgmt from other countries . hehe .

good luck

I was asking about the position of fund accounting too. Well, since you are going for that position perhaps you shud just read on that topic as well, She told me to call her, so she can arrange for an interview. I still undecided yet

guys i'm going for an interview with them tmr at 5pm i'll let you know how it goes

me 2, mine in the morning, haha

tengah baca note ni...

Good luck both of you

Thanks!

juz now i'm being interviewed by the hk guy u mentioned, we din talk bout technical stuff, juz casual chit chat like talk bout yourself, why you're interested in this job...

he's being truthful about the nature of the job, its very tedious and long process, turnover rate is high, after 2-3 months there's nothing much to learn d, but its up to you to learn from what you do everyday

hopefully can get good news from them soon

hey folks,

as nasiayam said, just a normal chit chat, didn't really ask any real hard or technical questions,
the interview was more of a Q&A session for me to get a better idea of what the job entails

the interviewer was pretty realistic and frank and is quick to tell you that the operations are strictly back office and the glory and money of front office will not be found here.

honestly it does sound pretty good since you do learn about fund management from the accounting side, but at the same time, the repetitive nature and rather flat learning curve does concern me a little notwithstanding the fact that you may get placed into a 6pm to 3am shift and have no choice about it, we'll see if rbc dexia calls me back,
