    I assume the app. test is the same for IT and capital markets. Also im sure the pay would be pretty decent after completion of the programme.

    Not sure about the test being the same for Capital markets. You should contact HR directly for an answer to this.

    As for the pay, can't say for sure but afaik it doesn't take a sudden huge jump after the two years. tbh, the whole grad program is a bit of a farse, you go to work everyday, same as everyone else, only difference being that you will be on a higher wage scale and will have better progression prospects if you come in on the 'Graduate Programme'. I think there are 4 days in the entire 2 years that you will do anything 'grad program' related - seminars, team-building etc.

    Do you know what the IT program is like? I want to do development type work and i got the impression that i could be assigned to any part of the IT department, what do there IT department actually do?. Also the AIB don’t seem to be the most technologically advanced bank, as their application process shows.

    There is about 450 or so IT people in AIB. There is a huge range of development type work undertaken - anything from java, php, databases, unix development to some of the more archaic mainframe programming. If you start out on on the grad program, you will most probably find yourself in a development role. The majority of the IT department are located in head office in Ballsbridge.

    I agree with your point on the application process, shockingly outdated, however it is not fair to say that it isn't very technoloically advanced. There is no shortage of IT projects to be undertaken, I'm sure the HR application process is on the list, it just hasn't happened yet.

    I know this thread quite old , but does anyone know what it like to start as an IT graduate in A.I.B ? I got offered a position. But the position was graduate bank official. I am wondering if I will be involved in much development ? (which is what I am really interested in)
