As an ITE grad, you have done very well. I recommend you to stick with what you know best, being in your current position. You have zero chance in competing with the rest by going the econs and finance route. First, you got to take "O" levels first. Second, you got to take "A" levels. Third, you get into SIM UOL in Econs and Finance. 6 to 7 yrs later, assuming you ace all your exams, you will enter the banks in an operations role earning 3k for a start. If you have stayed in your current role, you will have probably reached 10k per month. I will suggest you go for a part time IT diploma in NYP, then go for part time computer science degree in NTU. That will solidify your knowledge in the event that your bank downsize and suddenly decide that you need to be let go. Are you really willing to spend 6-7 years just to get into banking operations? This is because you have no chance at all getting into mid or front office anyway. Because you will be very old by then. There is just too much risk with very little benefits. |

Wow! U r definitely earning way above most people to be honest. I was on a saf scholarship,went to imperial and got my degree. Came back, worked for 4 years before my pay hit 6k at 27 yo. And saf supposedly pays higher than most other govt jobs. I know nuts abt the banking sector, but i would suggest u stick to IT, and go into IT security. There is a lack of talent in this area. Ur skillsets will be high in demand. |

Oh this thread is still alive, not surprising for people to bitch abt this thread, specifically me. To those sore ppl, if you think you have achieved colorful papers but still struggling, you may want to reflect on your attitude. If you're already up there, i'm happy for you! Anw i'm currently serving notice in this company, gotten another better opportunity(which of course the sores may smash their phones if i detail further).. |

Unregistered | Yup I'm in ops in a local bank. The thing is even with a b&f degree there's an almost 100% chance you'll be stuck in ops, which is changing from one cost center to another cost center. DL B&F degrees are useless in general especially since ops do not require any specific banking knowledge taught in those course and front office role will generally not look for a DL degree. | |

Given your Nitec qualifications, you will need to go through the pte UNI in house diploma program followed by the degree program. A 5 year time frame shortest. You will be akin fresh grad doing back end operations not market analyst etc. if you are really drawing 6k (not impossible in IT field). Why not get some professional certifications (eg UNIX etc) and move on from there. |
