GM BTMU interview
 

Hi guys,

can anyone with knowledge share some insights of their global market business and if its a good place to learn and start off? Thanks in advance

BTMU is more of a retirement bank and some of the people hired there(as in whole bank) have no relevant skills to speak of because they are direct hired by the HOD themselves.
They either pass time by chatting with other colleagues or go toilet do makeup. Was from the bank previously and although culture wise they are very strict and regimental, but work load wise can be quite slack. If you are looking for retirement, Japanese banks are best. If you are looking for career progression, Japanese banks are huge no.

job scope
 

Hi.

Thanks for your input. Just curious if their global markets business can be a good spring board into other banks for relevant roles? Is their global market business big and doing meaningful thing?

Won't work, everyone in the industry knows how jap banks work. This is like working in POSB trying to convince Julius Baer that you have experience dealing with some HNWI. Technically may be correct, but the experience is not relevant.

btmu bonus and increment
 

I agree with such tedious and regimental process and procedures in the bank.. it is modeling the practise from Tokyo which can be heavy on inputs and manual tracking prone to mistakes... japanese come and go in few years holding senior positions.. local staffs have to work extra hard and put in longer hours to match if there are many japanese in the department... decoding their culture is frustrating confusing and probably a waste of time to many

I don't think bonus and increment is good... any comments on recent years bonus in comparison to other banks?

I heard back office bonus ranges from 2.5 to 5.5 and front office bonus ranges from 6 to 8 months.

Increment ranges from 3 to 8 percent depending on your KPI and whether the boss likes you and whether you can perform some office politics to suck up to the boss.

If you piss the boss off, like in the case of one of my colleagues, he only got a 10 dollar increment.

btmu bonus and increment
 

Oh my.. so that is so much for fairness. Btw the projected bonus in btmu is quite comparable... the increment it seems average.. if some other places may not hv bonus or under union may not pay out so much bonus in fact... so u r saying the rates during good profit years or just recent comparison? How about those suppprting regional offices not back or front office?
