If you count the number of bank recruiting ads today, they are the same as the rest of the previous saturdays. And they are of similar positions advertised before for the past few months. -

I reckon the reason why there is such a heavy turnover among the banking industry especially for sales/marketing positions is because of saturation.Originally posted by PMLEE:banking sector quite competitive.. no doubt they r hiring now but..u noe in competitive enviroment, u go in & out faster than u warm ur seats.
There are only so many customers in Singapore who need certain financial products yet banks are agressively hiring sales staff to promote and sell their banking products.
If you can't meet your sales quota for the month / quarter, you are out and the banks (stupidly) hires another sales staff to take over the vacant position and the cycle continues.
When the next recession strikes (in the next year or two) there will be another round of massive retrenchments or layoffs. -

You will likely be fighting for jobs with the next big thing of foreign talents from Africa or South America. -

this brings me to my next question....
should i go ahead.. scrimp n save to clear off my debt n get a degree in this?
or just clear my debts nia...n stay in this job... with slight chance of a raise, no chance of promotion (unless i go do IT)? -
Do what makes you happy but balance it with the fact that you will find it hard to survive in Singapore without that Fucking piece of paper.Originally posted by shinta:yeah..

Living your life the way you want to live is the most important thing, so if you have to pay small prices along the way it's not important.
You don't want to look back when you are 55, wishing you had done this or that when you were younger.
Ultimately, your life is yours to live.
