Banking. As part of the generalist banking program they send you off to shitty SEA countries to work (fuck knows why). I got the shittiest of the bunch. My coworker got fucking Thailand.

Nah, its really competitive and I suspect the more promising people get better countries (since the bank wants to keep them on), and those that just scrape in like myself get the bottom of the barrel.

During the program its only like 60K AUD, which isn't very good. But the point of the program is to groom people to be executives etc, so its more for the long term career prospects.

Well good luck, our diplomat was robbed at a bandit checkpoint right off the airport while in a Papua govt vehicle.
They even took his shoes but somehow he managed to shove his passport into his underwear before being told to proceed in order to rob the next vehicle.
