I joined an Insurance MAP at the largest insurance company in Singapore.
IMO, it sucks and if I had another higher paying job offer, I wouldn't join.
1. They force you to organise events, do saikang.
2. You get **** rotations and don't get the dept you want after you "finish" the rotations. During your rotations, you get saikang since nobody wants to teach you as you're only there for 6 mths and not likely to come back to their dept.
3. Favouritism. Only one of your fellow MA will get to go overseas, get 50% increment eg.
4. Exams are hard for me because I have 0 interest in studying/memorising life insurance underwriting/claims, and no time (because of the events). Anyway, it's also not a useful cert to begin with.
Surprisingly, alot of
NTU 1st class honours joins the IMAP. I'm a 2nd lower but have good internship experience/OA level results.
I have left the industry luckily and am now working in our financial regulator with a much higher pay. Soon, will be enrolling in US for a masters with scholarship.
