Why do u wanna join banks? If u wanna join banks why not choose banking and finance? And what part of a bank do u wanna be in? Qualification and experience required for a teller, a call centre officer, a mobile banking exec, a corporate finance exec, and a unsecured loans exec can be very different.
My boss always say when ever you do something, think long term. He may not be some success coach, but I consider that advice top notch.
What kind of career do u wish to forge in 2, 3, 5 years after u grad? At this point in time, what kind of career most appeals to you?
(Note: when i say career, i dun just mean job. I mean a career as a business entrephreur too).
Once u shortlist a few careers that interest you, ask yourself where did you get the impressions of what these careers do. Is it from a reliable source that u can relate to?
Example: My initial perception of an Design Engineer during my uni days is
i can come out with my own design on say weapon system for example.
Reality: Wait long long. Maybe you'll have a chance to design something new when u'r 50. For now, you help your senior designers design the cover to the headlight on the vehicle the new rocket launcher is to be mounted on.
Example: My initial perception of a Citibank Private Banker==
Rich, well dressed, gets invitation to impressive high class parties, drives minimum BMW, good looks, cool, cream of the crop.
Reality = Super back stabbing, super cut throat industry even among collegues. High turnover rate of below 2 years, high rejection by potential clients, demanding clients and clients who will bring u for a ride. Only the top 5% are really rich, the rest is just getting by.
Realize our perception is usually form by the media and TV seriels, drama and from hearsay. It is very different from reality. When u plan your career, you want to know what are the real perts in that path, you must also be able to accept the shortcomings of it you're face everyday. -

if possible i hope to join the investment part or the risk management because i heard maths would be impt in this part of the bank to predict the future of the market..Originally posted by airgrinder:what kind out career do u wanna carve out?

ps. i am quite ok with maths .. get distinction with both Math C and "S" paper..
but B for FM. -.-
go to uni.. i never chose pure Maths because i feel like dying to study Maths for 4 years.. hence i chose Maths & Econs since it's quite relevant to my "dream".
talking about ISE..
Industrial and system engineering.. more or less like a combi of engineering& business..
SMU.. i applied for fun.. but now a lot of pp tell me that SMU is good.. -
if u are interested in hardcore investing you can consider stock exchangers like SGX, or any stock trading company.Originally posted by S2K4:if possible i hope to join the investment part or the risk management because i heard maths would be impt in this part of the bank to predict the future of the market..

If your interest is more in unit trust investing, funds, ETFs, you can consider asset management companies too instead of just banks. Examples are aberdeen, fidelity, dws, m&g, lion capital, UBS AG. They have a variety of positions like fund managers, fund advisors, prospectus editor, etc, but they're not open to entry level personnel. So you may have to snog for a few years to learn the ropes first.
Maths are not an important requirement. They dun take entry level people to do TA.
A tip is you can check the employment opportunities of banks, asset compannies, for the requirements for the positions you are interested in. -
I know someone with an honours in EEE, but doing sales engineer job in chemical plant.
I can't help laughing everytime I see his name card. -
i see.. but which uni shall i choose.. hah...Originally posted by airgrinder:if u are interested in hardcore investing you can consider stock exchangers like SGX, or any stock trading company.
