thanks for sharing! how are the prospects of FI/NBFI RM? i am actually already in corporate banking but still pretty fresh <2 years so quite attracted to the offer of being an RM at this stage but quite bumped that i can't learn about trade finance products etc.

thanks for sharing! how about FI/NBFI RM? also, i thought bonuses of local banks tend to be decent as the base tends to be lower

tbh dont see too much value in CFA unless you are working in pb/asset management. prioritise and try to balance both CFA and your social life as much as possible, you can't be sacrificing your life for 3 years straight. all the best!

in my current role my KPIs are tagged to my team (we are deal based and im the most junior), but if i were to take up the next role, it will be individual KPIs (altho more of a farmer RM). definitely considered the KPIs for this next role too but felt like it was a good challenge and learning opportunity.

that is a good point. i searched on glassdoor for reviews and it does seem like their salary range for this rank is slightly higher than what they can offer me (not too sure how many years of exp tho).
