hmm...working in rbc as fund accountant is actually quite good for those who intend to get the knowledge and exposure in investment and share market ...

ie..fund accountant in rbc dexia will know alot of corporate action and alot of derivatives products like futures, options, OTC products, swaps, cfd shares etc...

i admit that fund accounting job is a daily routine job and back-end position in investment industry.

But, if u grab the opportunities to work and learn in this role, u sure can earn alot of things, knowledge and experience..

*i'm a ex-rbc employee..it is just my 2 cent..^^

haha..the main reason i left rbc is becoz i going to start up my own business...^^

when the time i left, i heard that rbc is going to expand and double up the amount of staff to 1k.. if im not mistaken la ~~

anyway, fresh grad can go and have a try since the paid for freshie is high..if really cant tahan or not suitable, den just change the job ...^^

Thanks!  smile.gif
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  wink.gif

hopefully can get good news from them soon  tongue.gif

lucky u then . the hk guy tu baik hati jugak lah . he did talked bout the job scope and asked u ques bout rbc and explanation bout urself . that was the thing he did asked me for the 1st interv at the job fair . for the 2nd interv last tuesday, i've been interviewed by person named nicole . she was the manager of fund acc i guess . hehe . she asked me ques based on my resume and then technical ques regarding acc transaction which i failed to answer it since i did forgot bout the acc term and all . haha . maybe that is why i didnt get the job i guess . hopefully i did get at RHB . yay !

different case for me then, none of the technical questions... the interviewer ask me to talk bout myself, why i'm interested in the position, i think i ask more question about the position than him, haha...

i guess its because I'm from finance background, not much knowledge on accounting, but i got a quite ok cgpa la, he did stress on that tongue.gif

btw, i'm going to sign the offer letter this week biggrin.gif

no prob . I was major in Accounting & Finance, that's why maybe she asked technical ques to me . plus my weighted average is so-so only . hehe . yea the first interview was at the mid valley job fair, then straight after the interv they will asked u to go to the 2nd interv . 1st interv the HK guy asked me the basic ques for fresh grad . What is ur plan in 5yrs time, describe urself, why u interested in RBC and so on .. for 2nd interv usually they will repeat d ques but depends whether u will get technical ques or not . if not then u're lucky like nasi ayam . hehe .

btw, congrats nasi ayam smile.gif I'm still waiting for RHB to call me for my 3rd interv . haih .
