I am actually doing 2nd year Bachelor of Commerce-accounting & finance here in aus.. so besides those core accounting n finance subjects.. i also learnt marketing,management,business strategy etc.. unlike those who do bachelor of accounting & finance.. this is the difference from wat i saw from my frens who are doing bachelor of accounting n finance..

How much you learn in any place depends .

From my experience the bigger the place and name the worse it will be.

Many Aholes are know inhabit these places, whereas some 2nd line places with a good down to earth staff you may pick 2-3x as much.

anyone here into the 4th stage yet?

I passed 4th stage.

still got the trainee program?

Got, intake is all year round, unless they stopped the programme.

4 actual intakes per year, but you can apply in anytime. They'll just absorp you in for rotation in the depts, and can start earning $$$.

hey guys..im back.. it was a fine day n i received 2 emails 1 after another.. both brought to me good news which i have been offered internship position in CIMB IBK as well as Bursa Malaysia's participants' supervision, regulation..

there comes my dilemma as i duno which to choose.. if i choose bursa.. i will get exposure to regulations n stuff regarding corporate finance.. on the other hand.. if i choose IBK .. i believe it is more challenging..

can someone plz guide ? i nit to reply asap !

Bursa intern is to do what kind of things? The words "Bursa Malaysia's participants' supervision, regulation.." seems blur. I know intern is important for exposure and not what kind of task you going to do but the Bursa Malaysia intern seems too blur.

IBK is the unit name, right? It seems like a very challenging unit.

Thanks for the input ! I guess there will be lots of paperwork involved as this division is about regulations and stuff regarding IPO etc etc.. Basically the function is to govern and overlook the market to ensure fair conduct..

whereby CIMB IBK which is investment banking.. im not too sure bout this.. anyway i have sent an email to ask more bout the department.. hopefully i will get reply tomorrow then perhaps i can make decision..

email to HR or the person in the department? HR should be 99% not clear about what people doing. Unless the HR willing to help you ask the unit/team in the department that you are going to join for internship.

yes indeed.. haha anyway.. she has replied me that i will be placed under Corporate Client Solutions (CCS) where more info can be found here.. http://www.ib.cimb.com/index.php?ch=ib_busi_ccs&tpt=1

i think by today i will be able to make up my mind.. hopefully ..

If you were to be offered PWC Singapore financial advisory and CIMB Management Trainee, which will u choose?

so pepper did you start in ccs?

loofatt : depends on what kind of advisory we are talking about, cos they have things like risk mgmt and performance improvement in pwc.

hi..is this MT only do in kl or got in any cimb branch??

It consists of crisis management, recovery, restructuring, deal making and forensic

not yet.. i will start next monday.. so anyone joining me here on monday ?

If it was me , prolly PWC

From what I see, MTs are based in KL area so no, not in any CIMB branch. Do try though, great programme.

loofatt - can't say much cos I don't know bout S'pore's advisory but if you want, CIMB's great for a banking/finance background.

hey guys so i have done the presentation (stage 3) of the interview but i have still yet to get a call from them, usually how long did you guys have to wait for? and if anyone got rejected here, did they actually call you to say you have been rejected? Oh well i hate to wait for replies especially when there are equally good offers elsewhere

btw.... any one kinda screwed up their presentation and still got a call???

lol.... lets share guys

either the next day or within the week.
