Walahi, you're an in-house person

You were absolutely spot on.

Abeg let's connect.

What's your unit?

My boss.

I appreciate you for all you do......na you sopose be face of stanbic because you dey pull talents for them.

I know a bunch of guys that got in through your post here....you be legend boss

We don already connect for somewhere.



My advice to anybody that wants to get into stanbic, forget the the graduate trainee route except you be guru.

Check the websites for roles that require 0-2 yrs experience (you will always see them)

Currently stanbic are recruiting for the graduate trainee and those roles too.
but may folks are focused on the graduate trainee

BeatriceM1:
Client Service Officer at Stanbic IBTC pension managers

Depends on your experience

They might offer you either BTA 1 (203k) BTA 2( 254k)

Mind you stanbic pension (SIPML) is way better than the bank (SIBL)


CSO role isnt easy, get ready to work. You go log applications tire.

All the best

Shame!

Shey the first wife is dead now and life has gone on in less than 3 months? She said she couldn’t leave because she sacrificed a lot for him to be rich. Why can’t she sacrifice for herself to be rich? Was it worth her life?

Her family would be in severe pains now.

I hope this is false, it better be.

unfortunately she believed in the concept of companionship and he did not.

cant blame her, shit happens.
at least she's resting.

pansophist:
Sweet. Let me add to this.

A sense of belonging, closer to family and friends, no psychological burden of being racially conscious (eg not doubting if you couldn't get a job/house/partner because of your race).

social know-how (you know someone that knows someone that can help you get something done), your type is the default (eg the president, governor/soldier looks and talk like you).

No romantic visibility (immigrants are typically romantically invincible), not being too self-aware (also known as "double consciousness" by the legend psychologist Web du Bois), no racism.

Home may be bad, but it's not hell. Moving abroad is just transition from one difficulties to another, so pick your poison and carry with grace the one you can bear.

If you can watch the Mexican cartel documentary to finish and not be shocked at the extent of human depravity, then you are one badass modaforker. Those Mexicans ain't humans, don't put them in the same rank as cultists. Cultists are virgin mary compare to them.

Not gonna lie....those guys are on another level.

children are not left out in their depravity.

pansophist:
Australia is the same. The interior is worse than Chad or Mali, so dry and filled with desert. The area is not suitable to sustain the human population. For example, at least 80% of Australians live around the coastal region of Sydney and Melbourne. If inland Australia was habitable, it would have been developed long ago.

Below is a pictorial depiction of Australia's climatic zones, to have an idea of what it looks like. Even the US does not match Australia in its vastness and depth. Do you see why I said brazil is lucky??

omo he be like heat fit kill person for some of these places o.

I always wondered why they have undeveloped lands.

thank you boss

pansophist:
This is the one time when you have to ignore your mother and do what is right for you. Humans by nature project their wiring on others. So for men, he will push you to go out there and work while teaching you how to observe safety precautions but women will try to make you safer and more secure since it's what they want.

So for example, if there is a snake in the garden, your father will give you a cutlass and teach you how to cut its head off, obliterating the threat, but your mother will lock you inside, to prevent you from facing the threat. Both methods are good, but one is greater and makes you strong. The mother's method is good when a child is young, but as an adult, your father's method is better.

In any case, one person will not be happy. If you listen to your mother, you will be sad. If you go out there, she will be sad. So why not go out there and save yourself? Go out there, young man. If you make your mother happy, you may retain your body, but you will lose your soul.

Most importantly, you can't make other people happy. You can make them excited, not happy, Happiness is an inside job. You do not burden someone with the obligation to make you happy, and you must not accept it if your mother is doing it to you. Having the right to be happy is like having the right not to be offended, where do you draw the line of what constitutes offense then? Where do we also draw the line of happiness for her?

You are a man, your biological needs are different from women. Women need security, safety, and provision, and even better for them, it is someone else that will provide it in form of a husband. As a man, it is not the same for you. You must go out there and get bruised, forge your way out of the difficulties and bring home to bacon. You don't do this by sitting at home every day with your mum, to make her happy. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR SOUL.

Also, you should know that you are paying a dangerous price staying at home. You are wasting time, a fleeting wealth you have. You won't be stronger, healthier, and free in your 20's, don't bankrupt it. When men always mock women in their 30s who are unmarried, little did they look at themselves in the mirror to see that they are not better either.

Men peak in their 30's, but not most men, just a few. Most men will be invisible from birth to death, and it's because most waste their youths. The clock is ticking, and as you are wasting time contemplating if you should go out there and be a man or make your mother happy, the clock is ticking, and it will have a taste for you, and it will consume you.

Assuming you are 25, in ten years' time if you stay with your mother, you will be older, and your mother will be older too, she may become sick and want drugs but you can't help since you have allowed yourself to be tamed, and all you will hate each other. SHe will see you as a weak goat, and you blame her for your circumstances.

You won't even have the balls to ask women out because your insecurities and weakness will smell from miles away. A lot of you young people think society treats you sweetly as you are in your 20', it is wrong. I am in my early 30's, the difference is like day and night. Five years ago, questions I get are, ''what are you studying? '' or 'what do you want to be? Now it, ''what are you doing''? Where do you work"?

Every parent wants their child to bury them, it would be a tragedy if you allowed your mother to handicap your ability to be able to bury her gracefully because she shielded you from life. Don't allow yourself to be tamed, you owe it to yourself to be free and strong, and to be a man. Be one.

The divine blessing associated with the masculine is the ability to rescue himself and the feminine. Women do not rescue men, but men rescue women. This is the relationship between strength and weakness. If you destroy your life by allowing yourself to be tamed, redemption will never come from anywhere. A woman can be a prostitute and have a series of abortions and uneducated, but if she marries a good man, she is resurrected from her past and a sweet future awaits her.

A man that damages his life is disposable, it's final. I have to make this really dark for you, so you man up and find your strength, because you may think all is fine because the dragon hasn't come looking for you. It will come, at least a decade from now, and that day is not a good day. I always get emails from people everywhere who read what I write here, and many of these men are those who wasted their life and looking for redemption.

Life is not kind to men that messed up, I wonder why lots of fathers are not guiding their sons to the truth because the life of a man is by default, difficult. Very difficult. Let me stop here. I believe I have advised you enough.

abeg boss this question no dy related to the topic but all these business guys wey dey go China, wetin dem dey go do ?

is it importation business?
why type goods are they importing.

I'm sure there are other things besides importation, if you know more about this I'll be happy to hear from you.

Yes. Unlike every country similar in size, Brazil is the only one that every square inch of its territory is habitable. Russia for example, the largest country on earth have most of its territories as frozen wasteland. Humans can't live there.

Same with Canada, USA and China. But Brazil has the jackpot of being a similar size country where you can live everywhere. Also, it's so rounded by multiple oceans from different directions. In a battle with Brazil, minus nukes, you will loose.

No wonder is one of the largest agricultural producing country on earth, and foods are so cheap and diverse. And it's so sunny and bright, that it helps with your mental health. All the poor kids in favelas are happy and have good quality of life than the richest one in the dark Arctic Scandinavian country side in Norway.

Let me stop here. Brazil is just awesome.

how about Australia?

pansophist:
Do you know that South America and Africa (alongside Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica.) used to be a supercontinent before? They were one ( called Gondwana) up to 140 million years ago, at the start of the Cretaceous period, then the continent splits apart, to form a separate entity.

Check the attached pics below, you will notice that the continent when observed closely looks like a broken piece, that's the evidence to show they were one before. But South America (especially Brazil) went with the better part of it. I mean, I will like to exchange all the barren deserts in Northern Africa and Nigeria for the Amazon forest filled with billions of trees, wildlife, and species that science hasn't discovered yet.

From mountains to valleys, the best piece of Gondwana was split away to South America, leaving the worse part of the supercontinent in Africa. I mean Africa is not bad, but in terms of geographical luck, it is not the best. If Gondwana didn't happen, you can literally walk from Nigeria to Brazil. Isn't that awesome?

this separation is known as "continental rift" caused by the tectonic movement of the earth crust

Normally, this is every 2 years subject to a good appraisal. That is for junior to mid level employees. Senior employees from managers, i think it is 5 years. i am not really sure though.

thank you boss

pansophist:
1. If I magically become a twenty-year-old again, I will never go to a traditional university, I will instead, go to NOUN (national open university of Nigeria) or study online in a free online university (''uopeople'' is a good one) so I will have a lot of free time, then start a business along the way, make all the mistakes necessary and succeed in it. This way, I kill two birds with one stone. A degree and a career that sets me up for life and makes me attractive and respected in my 30s. And it's cheaper too, without the distraction of strikes, cultism, too expensive, the temptation of prostitution, etc. 

2. If you want to understand human nature, politics, women, society, and how power structures work, study the animal jungle. Animals will reveal to you the true nature of humans without the mask of laws, civility, and democracy (lol). 

3. By default, trust no one. And if they give you reasons not to trust them, believe them. If you come to trust them through proven track records that span a reasonable amount of time, still make sure you have a safe landing if things go bad. 

4. Everybody is trying to capture your mind. Guard it with your life. Your mind is like an engine or a computer OS, if it is corrupt, the whole system will be. An example of a captured mind is he who cannot think for himself. 

5. You should know that you are paying a very dangerous price if you refuse to man up, get your shit together, and put in the work. The world is very unforgivable to weak people who prefer comfort, and your refusal to work hard will sink you at the bottom of the food chain, of which you would have been older, fatter, maybe smarter due to experiences, but poorer, and irrelevant. 

6.  Your 20's will only be the time you will be free. From your 30s, society will not be soft on you the way you are soft on yourself. If you are broke, girls will ignore you, friends will not respect you, and your esteem will be low. And other successful people will rent your life to advance their interests. And it will only go worse from there. And as a man, by default, you are on your own. 

7. The earlier you start to run, the quicker you reach the finish line, rest, and enjoy. if your parents are still sponsoring you in your 20s, it is not an excuse to be lazy. Face life as a man, because it gets harder as you grow older. 

8. Look for a woman you hate with a passion, then buy a house for her, a car, and maintain the house until you die. This is the pain that awaits you if you marry a woman who lies, manipulates, and is a deceiver because the body is what attracts you instead of the character. 

9. Your biggest enemies will always be those in your inner circle. It is difficult to be envious of someone you don't know, who didn't watch grow from zero to hero. haters are harmless idiots who hate from afar, but envy is within. More people have been killed and backstabbed by those who know them than by strangers. 

10. In anything you do, make sure that you are able to look at yourself in the mirror and have peace within. You might get away with treating people wrongly, but nothing will torment the soul more than your conscience. Conversely, nothing will burn your soul more than allowing injustice to be done to you because you have no teeth. Grow some teeth, and make sure you can use them, and that single act of deterrence will scare the dangers of this world away from you. 

11. You have to be awake to outsmart women. Women by nature are next level' more socially aware than men, so it takes a conscious effort for most men to see themselves through the eyes of women. You will probably spend your life permanently with one, so it worth spending time (and resources) to know them.

12. Have a war mindset, because whether you like it or not, you are in a fight by default. Life is a battle that you win before going to the battleground. A battleground merely confirms your victory. A sheep and a lion don't have to enter the ring before we know that the lion has won.

na because of people like you I login into nairaland

thank you

richmondefosa:
Hi sbashir10,

Thank you for reaching out. Let me provide responses below.

1. Are this role contract or permanent staff roles? Note: the recruitment process didn’t involve any outsourcing team, it was directly between the bank P&C and the candidates
The roles are Full time roles and not contract. You are employed directly by the Bank and you enjoy all the full benefits the bank provides.

2. What position do these above roles occupies in hierarchical working order of Stanbic bank? ( Since those that went to training school are given the rank of (ABO)

I think I explained this earlier. The head of the branch is the BSM (Branch Service Manager). Next in command is TLCS (Team Lead Customer Service). Not all branches have TLCS. Infact, many branches don't have it. After this is Asset Custodian. Next is ATM Custodian then CSO (Client Service Officer). In branches where there is no TLCS, if the BSM is on leave, they may grant the Asset partial rights to stand in. If Asset goes on leave, ATM custodian steps in.

At the end of the day, many of these roles are just mere titles. What matters is your grade in the bank. BTA 1, 2, ABO, BO, SBO, AM, MM, DM, etc. An Asset custodian may be an ABO. TLCS are mostly SBOs Some BSMs are SBOs and AMs

I dont know if i have been able to answer your question. If i haven't, please re-word the question so i can answer to the best of my ability.

3. Are they also considered the same as Support staff as seen in Access Bank? Not professional banker like those that went to training school?
Note: Support staffs in access bank don’t get converted, and only those who got into the bank as interns gets the chance to be converted after passing exams, interviews and training school hurdles etc

They are full time staff or professional staff if i am to borrow your language. Like i said, they are entitled to full benefits of the bank.

4. When converted to full staff from the above roles, does it mean that, the successful candidates will also be trained in the bank training school just like the Graduate trainees that resumes as ABO?

I do not understand the question. They are already full time staff. They are not converting into anything. They don't go to training school like Graduate trainees. They learn on the Job. The bank also schedules other many professional and career trainings for them in the course of their employment. I hope this clarifies? If it doesn't, please let me know.

5. If Question 4 is Yes, will the converted staff be able to make it to the apex of banking careers, like becoming General Manager/ Regional managers and probably CEOs or they have a different career path in the bank that’s different from those that enters the bank as ABO?

I know the Head of one of a major dept in the bank personally (i don't want to mention his name here). He started out as a cleaner in the bank. Go and read the story of Sim Tshabalala who is the joint Chief Executive of the Standard Bank Group and Chief Executive of Standard Bank South Africa (Stanbic IBTC is a member of the standard bank group).

So, regardless of how you joined the bank, you can become the CE.

6. what range of salary should a CSO/ATM/Asset custodian candidates without any banking experience be expecting when fully employed. I hope this isn’t a personal question?

The salary range as i know it used to be 180k for BTA 1grade who are newbies who joined the bank without experience (Not graduate trainees o)

BTA 2 is 254k if you are BT 2 and you get promoted to ABO, your salary climbs to about 400. Meanwhile, Graduate trainees who become ABO get 350k.

please note that these salaries i mentioned are NET pay. That is your take home pay. The money that enters your account after all statutory deductions.

I hope i have been able do do justice to your questions?

Also,

I have been getting lots of mails from many of you. I am trying to keep up. Bear with me.

Please note that i am responding but the mails are bouncing back. The error message is something like mailer-daemon@yahoo.com. It does not deliver.

If you need me, please mention me on this thread or reach out alternatively on love.richmond@unn.edu.ng

Pls what's promotion like in stanbic ?

How long will it take someone from BTA 1 to move to BTA2 ?

richmondefosa:

I'm certain they're on the same grade or a tiny fraction of difference.

funny enough I met some guys, they work in some of the best govt agencies.
those guys have no plans of the leaving the country, they even laughed at the idea of leaving the country.

they claimed living abroad is suffering and not so rosy.


two of them told me that despite the fact they have relatives abroad they're still the bread winners of their families.

what are your opion on these ?

should someone with a good income still consider japa ?

DevilsEqual:
Then sir, how do u know this much about them?

comrade how I know some information isnt important, what's important is how the information will be useful to you.


generally the only set of people that are indispensable in the financial sector are mostly tech guys and specialists like lawyers

if you're not in these category, my brother better gather your money and venture into something else.

for example 2 consecutive C's in your appraisal na sack get you for access bank. do you know the funny part ? access bank is greatly under staffed, instead of hiring more guys dem refuse and over-use the small available ones.

you fit be ABO but you go dey do work of branch manager dey collect ABO salary.

in all you do try start business for side side or stack your bar.

pansophist:
Yes na, Indian people and business sense na five and six. Infact try locate the Indian community in Nigeria, see what they are doing and do it too, those guys are always found where there is money, same with the Chinese.

But you might not be able to handle the Chinese because these one are money bags, they enter industries that are financially intensive like mining, construction, tech and co, but money full ground, and because most of the population are either blind, lazy, and full of ego, thats your advantage.

When life's calamity happens to people, their ego go run leave them. Then begging begins lol. Sha drop your ego down and go and chase money, your future self will thank you

sometimes I wish say I fit just stroll come your house make we dey gist.

thank you.


one day, I know say I go jam you and you must show me the way (insha allah)

but come to think of it, boss why you still dey this country ?

congrats sha.

your salary is meant to be 250 something but you'll be given a Kia car as a loan and you'll be earning around 180+

if you're not in head office better leave dem before they leave you

pansophist:
The simple advice would be for him to get back to work, and at this time, should focus on self-employment, not as an employee. In underdeveloped countries where almost nothing is regulated, it makes no sense to be an employee.

As a family man, he should not make the grave mistake of resting his livelihood on the shoulder of employment, especially when his salary is fixed, his employer can just sack him, delay payment, not pay him, and nothing will happen. His salary will be stagnant but the cost of living is going high, inflation is slowly rendering his earnings worthless, in a job that will replace him if he messes up.

Look around you, most people are not white-collar workers. The Nigerian economy is closely 50% shadow economy. The people making real money are mostly traders and business people who are not in white-collar employment. Employment in Nigeria is slavery, don't do it. If you live in the west where systems are regulated, with strong workers union, your rights are protected, with severances and benefits if you lose your job then yes, you may be an employee but definitely not in Nigeria.

So my advice will be that he should start something doing, and make a killing in cash. There are lots of things he can do if he is willing to look down, and not egoistic like many graduates who think some job is below them because they have degrees. A degree only proves you passed through the school, it doesn't measure education or level of intelligence. I will end this with a quote by Carl Jung

.

God'' meaning the desires of our heart. Lots of times, it is right in front of us but because many have developed ego instead of humility, arrogance instead of esteem, and starting small instead of starting big, we miss God. Like Zlatan said in one of his track, ''owo wa l'eko, awon kan wa okay''. It is true. There is money in Nigeria, and many people are okay. You can too if you can enter one industry and give it all your best.

I personally like doing experiments myself. I have done lots of jobs just to see how people doing it earn. I usually talk to everyone from the street beggars to the uber driver, to the conductor and your policeman. I ask and observe, and lots of the jobs people look down on, those doing it are achieving wonders with it. I see youths shouting no employment, but lots of people from other African countries are here doing business and making big money.

I buy bread and ewa agoyin (porridge beans) from a Togolese woman, and she has a house in Aflao. The bricklayer building houses in my street are from the Ivory coast, the man who fry and sells puff puff to those who hawk it is from Kumasi. The nylon that is given to you when you buy groceries, the company is owned by an Indian. All these people are fcking wealthy, and they are there with you in Nigeria, but somehow, because lots of people's eyes cant look low, they miss God.

I bow to your wisdom.

this ego thing is going to be a big issue. I dont know how I'll convince this person. this person is close to me, I care about the person but he is years ahead of me in age.

initially I hinted at going into entrepreneurship but I did not get a positive feedback from him.


omo that Indian man wey dey make nylon sopose dey drag shoulder with dangote cos nylon plenty pass house for this Nigeria

thank you
