Hi J@x,
Thanks for your reply.
1) Yes I'm prepared to take a pair cut. Money was never a huge motivation for me in the first place. Let's just put it this way, I averaged 13-14 hour at work and often worked weekends. Health wise and family it wasn't positive. For expected salary I put in a number that was about 10% lesser than my last drawn basic. I was afraid of being priced out before getting an interview.
2) I have a degree majoring in finance however that was through an EQIUS accredited university in Ireland. I'm in the process of enrolling to Manchester Business School's Global MBA program. But I don't think that will make jack of a difference.
3) any reason why they are apprehensive about hiring from foreign banks? I have heard about private sector poaching
MAS staff though..
4) thanks for your insights maybe I got my friend's designation wrong. But anyway a few other questions I want to ask
5) is there a good chance getting an interview? Or does HR have a pre-determined cut off eg min 2:1 degree. No distance program degree. Etc
The website also states its ok to apply for multiple roles. Is that true?
Do you think other areas such as financial sector supervision would be a good fit also?
