Might be looking into RM as well, but the learning curve seems veri steep esp when u do not have any sales exp. Some of the my friend give up within 6 mths but i do hear successful cases. So it really depend on individual capabilities. But if there are chances of moving to operation sector, will there be a major pay cut compare to sales? And where will u start from? |
Beside
SAF what other exp u have? U say u left
SAF so what kind of sales r u in now?
Whether u do home mortgage, bancassurance, investment or RM is not important because w/o any connection, you will still end up doing CB which IMO really cmi.
Is ur friend able to bring u in at least at the prefered or commercial banking level? If not then I say forget about this lobang as it is waste of time.

As for engineering line, I am also looking into oil and gas industry for sales engineer or project engineer, something to do with soft skills role. But again, is not easy to get in esp when our exp in rsaf is unrecognized no doubt I would say there is a lot of take away during my career in RSAF which is contributory to many industry. Anyway, care to share how much is Sales engineer salary PA (inclusive of allowance and bonus).
Any recommendation or if u all have any lobang, u can PM me =)

IMO it is best to downplay ur
SAF exp which is irrelevant and emphasis more on ur pte sector sales exp. No point trying to BS abt
SAF, everyone knows what it's like and interviewer will just laugh at you. You should go & target sales areas which more familiar to u instead of wasting time in something totally unrelated like O&G, there's too many ppl with better resume then you also desperate to get in.
