MT

Dah nak masuk 3 bulan bekerja, eceyyyy =p . Still training je pon, not really contributing to the company yet.

Oh, as intro, kena la cakap what kind of work I do kan? I'm now a management trainee.

Apa management trainee(MT) tu?
1. Oooo...yang dekat 7-11 tu eh?
2. Yang kat call center eh?
3. Macam intern la eh? Dapat allowance ke?

Ni lah yang org cakap bila saya cakap saya MT.

When I first time dengar MT pon masa kat career fair at Mid Valley but that one under Aeon Co. a.k.a Jusco. Most company ada MT. Depends to the company, for what position they want to groom their MTs. They will receive trainings to make sure they are prepared for their jobs, mostly for 1-2 years. MTs will rotate divisions/department so that the management can assess them and later, put them in division which they performed well or choosed. Depends kat management la, sebab good performance or sebab division tu byk kosong lagi. Ada company panggil MT programme, ada panggil graduate programme, young leadership programme etc. Baru jumpa CIMB, they called it as Complete Banker Programme.



FOR ME,
I am under investment team. So I will rotate in investment team only; equity, fixed income, dealing. It's a one year training. Baru 3 months training in equity division and I did stock research on Philippines port. Other MTs did research on other sectors & countries. Bro, rasa intimidated kot! Selama belajar ni, kita study dengan org yg sama level kan. Mana campur PhD student dengan undergrad student. Semua ada experience in the company. Luckily, we got buddy system. A colleague/buddy is assigned to each MT to help us in our research. They've been very helpful to us! Just last week, I did presentation about my stock research in front of CIO, Head of Equities, Fund Managers & Analysts. Fuhhh, relieved! Luckily CEO had a meeting that day, sumpah gigil kalau dia attend =_=

Free snacks!

Bloomberg training is a part of our training. It's really crucial to know how to use it.(sape rajin, sila google bloomberg =p ) This is the photo of free snacks that we took at Bloomberg training center at KLCC (there's a lot more at their lobby btw, cheapskate btol hhaha). The colourful keyboard is specialised for Bloomberg usage, but you can use it on any desktop too.

For my company, we are groomed to be a dealer(for dealing) or investment analyst(for fixed income or equity). Oh, there's also MT programme in finance department. For the time being, I'm happy with it. I'm not even half way in this programme, but I'll update insyaAllah hihi.
