sure but how to measure expectations ? like in CF you will be part of a team handling deals etc . How can the head of CF tell with accuracy who has contributed and by how much.

I mean it is not like in Fund management where if you and a couple of others manage a fund . then how much it goes up or down by is fairly straight forward.

Otherwise it is very subjective , one guy can say you didn't do good and the other can you were brilliant .

You forgot Asset management and research

Sure lah .

how you all apply and to who and how you respond to non replies is very important.

do it wrong and the personal toll can be great .

High morale = confidence = better performance IN SUCCESS AND FAILURE [ 2nd one is more important] = bigger chance of winning .

Lack of knowledge / guidance = low confidence = bad performance = low chance of winning = repeat , repeat , repeat .

Psychology is most vital in success in all walks of life .

75% of success is in personal psychology .

Nothing I said is " negative " so Please chose your words with care .

The forum is public , if you don't want views from the public then post them in private.

My My , how bitter and angry some people become after they have been rejected .

I gave a free but honest consultation however some did not like what I said : that big improvements were needed before they stand a chance of getting in , what a sad case.

Too many freshers are too ' lansi ' , haven't even set 1 toe inside and some think the banks OWE them a place inside .

They OWE you nothing [ unless you are the PM's son ] .Anyone has that misconception then get it through the thick skull . For everyone with the same qualification they got 20+ with better suited personalities , dime a dozen , nothing special.

This exactly the kind of personality they are WEEDING out

You got to be joking , no actually this is a joke .

Tell you guys for free , with this kind of personality and attitude - good luck to you cause you'll need it . Most prolly end up in Bank Buruh's Rompin dept.

Lack of knowledge + bad attitude = low confidence = bad performance = low chance of winning = repeat , repeat , repeat .

And yes people have signed up and I am sure they will do well but certain people I would reject just like what CIMB did - I agree with them .

Well can't add anymore to that.

Suffice to say at least someone gets the message : BE prepared and do your research .

These interviews should not be taken lightly , you can see that the interviewers are VERY serious and will give no leeway to those who are badly prepared or unsure of what the industry is about.

To me it looks as if they have many more applicants for this years Grad scheme so the competition is getting hotter .

At least you are making a real effort. By the way I have written more on this and needless to say you all know where to find it.

But those who do not like frank views please stay away , repeat not for those that get easily offended by counter opinion , especially those 2 people [ you know who you are without naming names ] who constantly complain about being offended at the slightest thing that disagrees with them .

So you have been told thus don't go there and then whine cause you don't like what you read - you have been forewarned DO NOT GO THERE .

not HR you have to worry about

Pepper,

you have been KIVed .

my advice resist temptation to call - 99 % chance the answer is NO. Then the blow to your ego will be big.

if you dont call your confident high , like saying ... ah L.. to you , I dont care if I get it or not . big difference to confidence.

confidence = everything

just joined 4 posts

calling by name

mmmmmm.....

death to spys .

never heard interview for internship.?

what planet do you live on ?

no point saying dream.

they dont exists here

debt capital IS CF.

The functions are not split so finely here.

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.

If it was me , prolly PWC
