Backoffice dog
 

1-2 months if i'm lucky..heh - its really a crapshoot, seriously do something more strategic instead of operations, its for the brain dead.

backoffice ops
 

i'm male la..haiz..

Arts & soci grad here, 2nd lower in economics, graduated in 2005 now in a foreign bank as a credit controller.

Although basic is quite high close to 12k, bonus usually very low over here about 2-3 months.

Wow..u're paid close to 12k within 6 yrs of graduation? That's damn amazing for someone who's not in front office. Credit/product controllers are really earning sh^tlo*ds of cash lately..are u AVP/associate director or VP/Director?

I think u can take comfort in your pay..it's quite gd for someone your age. Yea, sure BO work is amazingly boring and robotic but when u work in an investment bank, at least u can tell your female frens "I work in JPM/Goldman/Barcap" and they swoon in awe..
