hi guys..came across this thread and being a ex staff of rbc, i thought of sharing some facts..first of all there no racism as claimed by lalazhai..thats bullcrap..ZAX 2, if u failed the interview, the problem lies in you..dont blame race as the reason..

the problem with rbc is the bosses mingle too freely with staffs and some will take opportunity to 'bodek' and the brainless bosses actually fall for that..that causes favoritism..this has been misunderstood by some as racism..what asanta said is 100% correct..play ur cards well..

honestly, 90% of the processes are back office processing..which means the job is repetitive..the pay well but ur career will be in disaster..ur learning curve will go downhill..the so called fund accounting is not that greater either..maybe its just slightly respectable than the rest..i left rbc last year..i was a pioneer then..went overseas for training etc..but i realized i was going nowhere there(knowledge wise)..

Freshies should not go into RBC..u should take up something more challenging in life..its always not abt the MONEY..if RBC closes down, u guys have no where to go..trust me

Epiyana-thats something new..i cant advise u on that..RBC have expanded so i guess auditors are new..during the interview, pls ask clearly whats ur job scope..if u intend to leave Public Bank, think very carefully..the benefits in RBc cant match PB

Sorry for a being spoilsport  for those who are eager to join RBC..hehe..but if ur going for the money, then go ahead

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!
