working for BSP

[philo_buff]

salary? benefits? working environment?

I'm a CPA,

[philo_buff]

working in SGV for 6 months already. I'm planning to stay there for 1 year.

[kotsch]

anyway, what do you mean by planning to stay there at 1 year? hehe..

OnT: I used to work at BSP. Not in the same field as yours though, so I used to be in a different department. I heard na maraming from SGV peeps na andun. Workload: Madami. As in weekends (sat and sun) nagtatrabaho ako sa bahay.madalas pumapasok ako sa office ng sabado. (sa dept namin yun; don\'t know sa other dept). Culture: Shempre gov\'t; expect na mapulitika :) Nasa iyo na iyon how you will adapt to the culture. Benefits: Sobrang ok.

All in all, as far as I can say, challenging ang work dito and madami kang matututunan. Expect na ma-OT siya. hehe..

[Juntrix]

how do you apply sa BSP? walk-in ba? Na-curious lang hehehe :D

[paggi10]

mas maganda yata may backer dito. May kilala ako na mag-sstay lang sa auditing firm for less than a year tapos lilipat na daw siya BSP. may "tita" daw siya dito. so i guess ganon nga ang lakaran dito. I applied for an auditor position with BSP, pero dinedma lang nila :D

about the benefits and compensation, sobrang ok daw. pero yun nga, matrabaho talaga. expected naman siguro yun sa laki ng sweldo :)

how true na ang bookkeeper daw dito ay 35k?? ang alam ko lang kasi 25k accountant/cpa na. nagyayabang kasi yung kilala ko sa magiging future sweldo nya :)

[philo_buff]

to kotsch: i mean planning to stay in SGV for a year or until busy season ends. talaga, ma-OT din dun? yun pa naman ang ayaw ko kaya nga i can't stay longer pa sa auditing firm... anyway, san dept ka? sana sa accounting side, hindi ma-OT. hehe. what do you mean sobrang ok yung benefits?

to paggi10: really, bookkeeper 35000? tapos yung cpa 25000? parang dapat baliktad haha. ma-OT din kaya sa accounting dept? what do you mean sobrang ok yung benefits?

thanks!

[philo_buff]

paggi10, yang salaries ba na yan for newly grads? how about pag experienced na?

btw, i'm an economics grad din eh... yun nga lang inuna kong ipractice ang accounting. but actually, narerealize ko na mas maganda talaga ang economics... hehe. if ever, pwede naman sigurong ipractice yung 2 nang sabay, especially sa bsp, since connected yung 2 courses.

^ i agree:) .. mostly talaga ng nakakapasok ay may kakilala na sa loob. sila kasi yung may alam kung may vacant item/position sa isang department. mas mapapadali daw kasi ang processing ng papel mo kung yung mismong taga-department na yun ang magrerequest sa iyo(applicant) sa hr..

35k daw basic ng b.0. II., basic pay ay depende pa rin daw kung anong salary grade mo..

[amirah_mace]

how do you apply sa BSP? walk-in ba? Na-curious lang hehehe :D

based from what i've heard nag - e entertain sila ng walk in pero mas maganda may kakilala ka na insider na mag ha hand carry ng application mo..

btw, hr nila ay sa 17th flr ng multi-storey bldg nila.

[kotsch]

To Juntrix: ok lang mag walk in but just like what amirah said, mas better kung may kakilala ka sa loob para masabihan ka agad ng openings. In my case kasi friend of a friend of a friend (layo na no? hehe) ang nagsabi na may opening sa field ko. Pero take note, wala sa website nila yung job opening for that position. Kasi madalas nauuna na mafill-up yung position bago nila i-post na may job opening. Di lang sa BSP yun kundi sa other gov't agencies ganoon sila. So ang tanong kung di na open yung position bakit pa nila pinopost yung job opening? Kasi mandated yata yun by the Civil Service Commission na kailangan pag may idadagdag kang tao o bagong position e may kaukalang job opening na pinost para dito. something like that ;)

to philo: I'm from IT dept. Benefits are ok kasi i believe they are offering good retirement benefits to their employees. They have good medical benefit as well and they have other allowances to offer such as transpo, meal, rice subsidy, etc. And loans can be easily availed if in case you want to purchase a house or car. Syempre nga naman, bangko sentral na yan eh. hehe

[paggi10]

@philo_buff

parang baliktad nga yung bookkeeper at CPA na sweldo no? hehe. kaya nga hindi ako maniwala sa batchmate ko na nagyayabang. pero according sa source ko na kaka-retire lang, 25k nga daw ang starting salary (for new hires w/ at least 2years related experience). ewan ko naman kung panahon pa nya yun, or kahit now ganun pa rin.

one of the best benefits na binanggit sa'kin ay yung profit sharing. siguro yung iba ay the usual na medical, dental, etc. mas malaki lang siguro ang coverage than the usual private companies.

gusto ko rin mag-apply dito pagkatapos ko sa auditing firm. :)

gusto nila new hires with 2 years experience na agad? hindi ba pwedeng with experience lang hehe... wala ng period limitation. ma-OT ba daw sa finance/accounting dept? or 8-5 lang talaga? sana 8-5 lang... yun kasi ayaw ko sa audit, yung OT at ON.

[philo_buff]

up up up up up

[paggi10]

according to my classmate, at least one year experience daw (dahil may backer siya). sabi ng reliable source ko (retired employee of BSP), at least 2years experience, maganda na ang position na maiooffer sayo. workaholic kasi itong source ko. so it's really possible na madaming OT. napansin ko lang, yung client ko din naman ngayon sa audit, late na rin umuuwi yung mga accountants :) pati saturday may pasok pa yung iba.

[philo_buff]

so i need a backer... hehe. marami kasi kong professors sa economics nung college na sa BSP din nagwowork, probably i could ask for their recommendation. i would research pa on the working condition sa bsp... if ma-OT din ba... ganon. kasi, the reason i'll be leaving SGV talaga is because of time and energy, although i would admit that i learn a lot. actually kahit di pa 1 year ang stay ko sa SGV, marami na kong nahandle at natutunan. but i wouldn't want to risk almost all of my time and energy only for work.

[paggi10]

SGV ka pala. ako kapitbahay lang. tatawid ka lang ng paseo haha. hindi pa naman ako nauubusan ng energy kasi wala pa rin akong 1year. hindi pa rin ngarag ang itsura ko. at ang eyebags ko hindi pa kailangan ipa-liposuction :D

cge keep us posted para na rin sa mga gustong mag-BSP. ako rin, ikaw na ang lalapitan ko in time :)

[jaz_rina]

i think you don't need a backer if your a CPA. they are constantly looking for a bank examiner. and i think they are in need of IT peeps. Walk-in lang or send your resume on-line. what they are posting in there website are a true vacant positions. Medyo matagal lang talaga ang process and of course marami competition.

i knew a lot of people who get hired on there own, meaning without backers. with regards to workload, i think it depends on what department you'll be in. :-)

[philo_buff]

isla ka pala paggi10. hehe. actually, di pa naman ako nauubusan talaga ng energy, siguro by jan-april baka maubusan na haha. let's see where the busy season takes us. akala ko kasi before sa audit firm, di naman exage talaga yung OT... pero now i know nung pumasok ako. haha. just need some training, and off i go. haha

to jaz_rina: thank you for the response. how's the salary there? if i'll be going into the finance/accounting dept, basta yung related sa economics/accounting courses ko, how much kaya pay? maOT kaya sa dept na yun?

[jaz_rina]

hmmm.... alam ko 20+ entry level. ma-OT... i think yes.. pero hindi kasing OT ng audit firm... Goodluck

[paggi10]

haha @philo_buff. parang takot na takot ka sa OT ah! :) sakin ok lang naman basta well compensated at yung reasonable naman yung OT. yung tipong kailangang kailangan talaga. kung ppag-OT everyday, as in a few hours of sleep or no sleep at all, how could I function well? shempre apektado rin ang quality of work ko. at shempre health reasons din. tanggap ko naman na matrabaho talaga, sa laki ba naman ng ipapasweldo esp. kung bagong pasok ka sa company. pero shempre iba-iba ang standards natin. what may be enough for me may not be the same for others. no other way of finding out except subukan :)

sige philo_buff mauna ka. susunod ako after ko maka-gain ng experience. hindi ako sa isla. sa 22nd floor ako :D

its about anti-money laundering thread, right? hmmm... i think, the bank uses credit card info to check the character of their applicants. i think its part of their CI but, i don't think it has something to do with anti-money laundering law. as far as i know its for bank clients and not bank applicants. :)

[philo_buff]

haha. hindi naman ako takot na takot sa OT. i just don't want to experience OT again if i leave SGV. yah, medyo reasonable naman nga ang OT sa audit firm, pero not high pay, alam mo naman yun diba. kaya lang naman ako nagSGV para matuto... kaya nagtitiis na lang muna. yung sa bsp, pinag-iisipan ko pa. marami kasing greater opportunities na iba din. btw, san ka ba nagwork?

[comrade5031]

btw, how true is the 50k nontaxable qrtly. bonus? :)

[albert16]

^balak ko sana magtrabaho rin dito kaso wala pa akong Civil Service Professional Eligibility

[jaz_rina]

btw, how true is the 50k nontaxable qrtly. bonus? :)

alam ko po hindi sya quarterly... at di bonus *** term nila dun... :)

[comrade5031]

alam ko po hindi sya quarterly... at di bonus *** term nila dun... :)

i just heard its qtrly... how is it called then if not bonus? and how frequent yung 50K? :)

[FUCHSIA]

it is called economic assistance and is given twice a year

[Mario_Cimarro]

it is called economic assistance and is given twice a year

Alam ko dito Quarterly

[amihan07]

Magkano ba sweldo ng Job Grade 6 dito?

Mahirap ba talaga makapasok dito? Kailangan ba talaga may backer ka? May kakilala naman ako rito kaso sa clinic sya dun. Doctor kasi. Medyo close naman kami pero nahiya akong lumapit sa kanya. LOL. :bashful:

[red_young]

50K non-taxable quarterly bonus? 1 1/2 years of experience in a private company would be considered kaya?

cpa naman ako. *** do you think guys?

[baby_yeli]

Hi guys, thanks for all the tips and discussions about the working environment at BSP.

Dad ko kasi 30+ years na sa BSP nagtatrabaho sa East ave siya. And he wants me to replace him kasi pagod na pagod na siya. Excited na nga magretire eh. Biruin niyo, pasok niya 6-6, minsan nga 4 or 5am pa yun umaalis. Saturday halfday lang naman yata.

I'm an AB Economics fresh grad, half a year of experience na part-time pa. Saang department naman kaya ako pwede dun? At ayun nga naisip ko din kasi yung working environment kung grabe ba maka-OT. Ayoko naman ng masyadong strenuous for my first job, I might give up early hehe

Sobrang layo ko pa kasi sa Roxas nakatira, bandang Fairview (farview) pa ako hehehe.

Please ask your daddy about the usual benefits given at BSP. I would love to give try working there. I'm currently self-employed, but would love working for BSP....

[angielle]

hello! I've been applying there for the past three years and sending my application from time to time whenever there's a job opening posted online..but up to now there's still no update re my application though I know that I'm qualified for the positions. Normally, it's true that the positions posted has already been filled. I really wanted to be part of the organization but still haven't got the opportunity because I don't have networks inside that could help me out regarding my application..or even referral that could recommend me.. hope you could give me an advice on what to do..they already have an accredited agency but i don't know if i should undergo such risk to have an opportunity or to be absorbed by the company.. any suggestions or advice from all of you will be highly appreciated.. thank you...

[business_guy]

From what I've heard, if you want to work in BSP, backer is more important to them than a person who graduated with honors without any backers inside BSP....

[angielle]

I guess you're right business_guy... paano kaya yun..think..think..think... wala na bang ibang way?? ang hirap naman lalo na kung wala naman akong kakilala or ka-close na insider..

[Jobhunter_09]

I had my OJT in BSP.. well yeah benefits are great according to my supervisors hehe

[gollem]

My mom have been working there for more than 20 yrs now. She actually replaced my lola and wanted me to replace her in the future when she retires. I'm having second thoughts though coz we have the same salary already. I'm also thinking that I have to start all over again and could be getting a lower pay but I'm also concerned about my retirement. I'm from the call center industry and as most of you know, call centers usually don't have a retirement plan for their employees. Any thoughts from you guys will definitely help.

-Relevant training
-RA 1080-CPA or non-CPAs with Career Service Professional or any Second Level eligibility provided non-CPAs show proof of recognition for outstanding relevant achievement such as academic honor and outstanding leadership awards and outstanding research; (pls. indicate in your resume and application form specific eligibility acquired)
-Excellent analytical skills
-Proficient level of computer literacy
-Demonstrated leadership and good interpersonal skills
-Not more than 30 years old at the time of application

All I know is that I am qualified for the position but I do not know what the job description of a Bank Examiner is. Does anyone here know what a Bank Examiner does?

Thanks!

[gasboy07]

The longest exam I ever took. :bashful:

[_Zei_Emu_]

how about non-CPA's, non-accounting grads, like Business Administration grads?
is there a position kaya that would suit me there?

[_Zei_Emu_]

nasa 10 pataas ata ang bank examiner..just check na lang the site of bsp andun naman yun nakalagay sa may recruitment part nila
with regards to Career Service Professional or any Second Level eligibility..exam yun for those who want to work sa government ang check mo naman e yung civil service commision ng pilipinas...alam ko may exam ngayong november kasi same month din ako nag exam last year.

[jaz_rina]

If you're a CPA, no need to take the Career Service Professional. :-)

Goodluck!

[chrysty]

hi po...any job opening kaya for cpa's but don't have external audit experience? i've checked their website puro examiner lang yung opening...

[dalwin]

Hi,

Does anyone here work for BSP as a bank examiner?

I am going to undergo their medical examination next week. My concern is on how long would it take from the medical examination to the job offer. They already took five months to process my application. I just want to have a heads up because I also received an offer from another company.

[jaz_rina]

Hi Dalwin... better ask the HR about the status of your application. Honestly, it could take another five months or less. I knew people who have been ask to have their medical exam since July but until now she haven't receive any call from HR.

No harm in calling the HR. I believe that they are all accomodating. :-)

[jaz_rina]

hi po...any job opening kaya for cpa's but don't have external audit experience? i've checked their website puro examiner lang yung opening...

Hi.. I don't think bank examiner requires an external audit experience alone. Why don't you try sending your resume online. Who knows you might get lucky. :-)

[dalwin]

Thanks jaz-rina.

I was discouraged by the additional five months or less processing. Anyway, I asked the HR and they told me to expect a call three days after the medical exam is done.

Ang daming nagpapamedical lately. Most of them are bank examiners.
