I've been with RBC for few months, joined as FA (Fund accountant)
At first don't know anything, thinking wow RBC Dexia, Canada-Lux Intl Company,
the benefits and treatment towards stuff must be world class as well!

And now i put my hands on the real battlefield, everyday rushing for deadlines, submitting NAV for each funds
and i saw lotsa candidates coming in and out from the interview
and then i started to think that wow rbc must be really aggressive and committed in expanding msia market
but then i observe and observe again
and then i found out, non of the FA sitting around me are happy people except for those new joiners who has yet to taste the real boredom of FA
they complained a lot, about the benefits, about the treatment, about rbc is expanding too fast that they only focus on new blood but ignoring the skilled and senior staff blablabla
and onli then i found out the truth about 'if you ain't the best, you dont deserve the yearly bonus!'
since then my heart kept on bleeding (dreams broken) and i've been out searchin for better opp

for all freshie, if you are up for money, really desperate for money and dont mind doing the same stuff daily, rbc welcomes you
afterall this is all about back office, if your dream is to become like bigshot agent, let it be fund manager, broker or trader blablabla
im sorry but you have to look for somewhr else, this place is simply not for u
cuz we dont get to see client, we dont make any calls or decision,
what we hv to do is just very simple, make sure no mistakes on your funds and to produce the NAV on time,
any mistakes found, minor one, incentives will be stripped off, major one, you be too ashamed to stick with rbc

anyhow, i do enjoy the ride to rbc thou, it's traffic-less, unlike the hectic drive to the city!

EXACTLY!!!
and you know what? all my seniors actly encourage me to work for any banks instead of rbc if the opp knocks on the door,
'just grab any opp that u hv, just go for it! you wont achieve anything by staying here!'

they were sincere, and they spoke it out from the bottom of their heart (i could sense that )
and it keeps me wondering, why are they still staying here then?

the amount for all these allowances wont be shown on the offer letter
but during your 1st day in rbc, they'll distribute the employee handbook to all of yall, there you can get any information that you need
let it be medical benefits, inconvenience allowance (shift), transportation allowance & etc etc

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

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