maybe bro is right that
the purpose of this ibank experience is just to
justify that ibank is really not my cup of tea.
(though cant deny that I’ve learnt a lot too)
at the same time, showing others that
not that Im not capable or too fai to do ibank in the future,
just that I’ve worked in this ‘dream’ workplace since Day 1,
and i dont give a duck. ![]()
and after discovering wht the life at a prestigious bank is like,
I can relax and indulge into my own engineering research
without any regrets instead of saying
‘omg i should hv study finance!!! ibank ppl r so cool!’
knowing that the real front-office ppl hv to work 150 hours per week,
u know what? I would really rather sleep all day
or marry to richard li like isabella (if i’ve got this luck..==)
quality of life number 1.
(dilemma: but with those crazy bonuses,
I can retire early and have wud gay quality of life for many years!!)
today dad asked me what I want to be after graduation
I really don’t know, no kidding.
but my boss said to survive in HK
u could only work at FI (financial institution)
he’s got a point..but…
ai =( so i guess probably
government / consulting / japanese-related
but so far at halfway, ..generally speaking…
1) scale and scope of an reputational investment bank, integrity is very important
2) applicable to all businesses, profit ( or loss) and clients are the ultimate bosses
3) with that said, efficiency , quality and quantity must be at best level
4) i.e. maximum output in minimum time/resource
good
