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... tongue.gif

Hi, I went to MHFC today, I was interviewed by this sweet person, who was asking me about bonds, which I couldn't answer sad.gif, 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?
*
MHFC? the comp that interview me is rbc dexia, same for chocpuding... by any chance that sweet person name is cilia? hmm.gif

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 .
*
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

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..^^

Thx for sharing smile.gif ... juz wondering... why u left rbc? tongue.gif

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 ...^^

start your business, haha, that's a great reason to leave rbc rclxms.gif

I was being interviewed by nicole . She did asked me bout transaction . Like when u buy a house what is the debit part and credit part or when u buy a car what is the transaction and so on . I didnt manage to answer cause long time dy so I forgot . HAHA . then at the end of d interview I asked her since I cant answer her ques will that be affected at my performance, then she said yes . so I assume I didnt get through cause to be a fund acc u MUST know d transaction . that's what she said . smile.gif
*
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

Official working time is 9 hours, but actually can be up to 10-11 hours... That's one of the criteria of working as a Fund Accountant in this company that is not stated in the employment contract...

recently they just start a new team for australia, early shift, should be 6am like tat i guess, some of my colleague will be joining that shift next month, or u could be joining existing teams

you will get 2300 + 500 (travel allowance), the shift allowance sweetens the deal, but at the expense of your "normal" life
