Ok

weakday:
If you're still young, or you have children who are, like say 14,15 to 16 and still in secondary, and they know and love mathematics very very well, like they are extremely good at it,please I beg you in the name of God, Go and start learning Competitive programming ...... Just go on YouTube and search William lin or neal wu , you will get what I'm talking about... Don't waste yaaa mathematics talent. Trust me if you're Good at that stuff, your life don better. Oyinbo people go dey rush you like sey tomorrow no dey.

15 is too late. People have already won olympiads then. The best competitive programmers start around 5 years.

Mathematicians may be preferred for certain roles only. There are so many departments in banking where they may not be best suited, especially market-facing departments.

BlackMan6969:
because we are mathematicians & more.

That 'more ' is not needed in banking unless it's computer engineering.

Having a degree in Mathematics alone doesn't make you a mathematician
If you gree go to court

BESTScientist1:
but will they employ us. One of Nigeria's best mathematics teachers?
iyen o bawa o. Ole to ji mandate lafe le danu. OBI LOKAN NAIJA LOKAN

JoyousFurnitire:


Why?

They are useful in more than one department of the banking sector.

Imagine having a driver who is also a mechanic.....you spend less on vehicle maintenance and experience low downtime

BlackMan6969:

No dey jonze yourself. Most Engineers struggle with basic concepts and are not even at the level of a senior secondary school level Mathematician most times

As a Mathematician, the only people I consider on par in Maths are Physicists

pocohantas:
They don’t care.
If you have a 2.1 and above from a reputable institution, below 24-26, pass the entry test, interview and training sch, they will employ you.

They don’t necessarily prefer Mathematicians.
That is only on your head.

The only exception is for specialised units. Which is less than 20% of the workforce. Most are branch staff.

Science students do better in the test and training because they are good at Maths, but when the jam a business student that knows his/her onions…maybe chartered. They will know the difference between 6 and half dozen.

Exactly.
I studied Economics.
What the op is saying na just wash.

So there is no need for department of Bank and Finance in University again.

Quest7777:
Engineers are generally best performers in Bank aptitude exams.

Because doctors don't apply.😎😎

Self consolation.

You better go find.better.school.for.lekki.dey teach.

Has there ever.been a bank HR person that told you they prefer.maths graduate?

Don't say that, everything is not about IOI...Errichto started at 15 years old and he's won Google code jam once and came second place in another, won lots of code forces rounds, and Google kick-start rounds.. Which Nigeria parent do you think would allow their children access computers at 5 or 10 years old?

There are several reasons why a mathematician might be employed in a bank job rather than someone who studied banking:

Analytical Skills: A mathematician is trained in logical and analytical thinking, which is an essential skill in the banking industry. Banks deal with large amounts of data and complex financial models, which require a deep understanding of mathematical concepts.

Quantitative Analysis: Mathematics is the foundation of quantitative analysis, which is used extensively in banking. A mathematician's expertise in statistics, probability theory, and numerical analysis can help banks make informed decisions about investments, risk management, and other financial activities.

Innovation: A mathematician's approach to problem-solving can bring a fresh perspective to the banking industry. They are trained to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to complex problems.

Transferable Skills: The skills learned in a mathematics degree are transferable to many different fields, including banking. Mathematicians are known for their ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations, making them a valuable asset in any industry.

Overall, a mathematician's skills and expertise can be highly beneficial to the banking industry, especially when it comes to complex financial modeling, risk management, and innovative problem-solving

Nonsense.
There are so many departments in Banks.
I studied economics

You as a mathematician. I'm very sure you don't even know banks engage in Mortgage banking and some finances.

Do you even know banking laws? Do you know corporate banking? Do you know development banking? Islamic banking?
You funny.

Analytical skill ko, Vertical skill ni

banks gives all persons equal opportunity during aptitude test and interviews.it is not true that they give preference to mathematicians or engrs.na who pass their tests dem de employ's note that persons that studied business related courses have the chance of growing faster because they will not find difficult when doing professional exams

Walahi. I read it and was angry.

If not for Nigerian situation, he won't even think that.

If a list starts counting numbers from 0-9, what's supposed to be the first number? 0 or 1

all these are book keeping skills. Risk assessment is still slightly beyond the average mathematician.

Because I can't fathom having all the listed attributes just for the sake of being hired to perform the duties of a TELLER.

😁😁😁. I swear. Teller wey person wey get NCE go run on a steady.

Atyms i dey reason say na d lie wey management go lie to entice engineers and mathematicians for teller role to collect small coins as to an accountant doing same job. Na so e be b4 sha. Dnt knw if its changed now.

Dey will hype a mathematician to do d job coz dem wan pay small. Na d nonsense situation of we country sha.

Wetin engineer or maths person wan dey do bank work for when there are people trained in that field.

Fraudsters dnt care if na FBi be teller. All ur so called analytical skills go fade when fraudster catch u. Coz fraudster have some of dis skills plus experience in d dope world

Carry hammer kill fly.

That's gross under utilisation. It is because of our condition, this situation is similar to those who wash their hands with expensive drinks.

Owopariola001:


They mostly excel in Mathematics than the Mathematics students in University sha.

One of the lie your Lectures told you in school.
Ask him if it is true why is he a teacher?

Kindly elaborate on this please. I'm a business student, how can I know my onions?
I've registered for CIS exam. But Maths is not my friend tho.

nigeria haywired ur brain to think this way. look out to advance world and sphere of science and it breakthrough. education is dead in nigeria

Stop envying engineers abeg. It wasn't easy

I work in a Financial Institution as an Underwriter and I studied Actuarial Science.

Omo the number we work on everyday is crazy plus the pressure both internal and external..

If you aren't an analytical thinker you won't cope..

Most time I work without break from 9-5

I think it's a believe that a mathematician are no joke and are real brainers
