Employment direction of financial industry

A n experienced person said something about experience:

1. Although sales is really a good job in the financial industry (with more money and great promotion potential), if you don't want to do it, just say something else. At present, the competition in the financial industry, especially those sexy sub-industries, is not very fierce, but very fierce. Therefore, the requirements are relatively high, graduate students are the foundation, and prestigious schools have advantages. So if you want to be an analyst or something, it is basically necessary. So I recommend you to go to graduate school.

2. You went to college overseas, but you actually have a certain advantage, that is, your language. You said that you have Japanese ability, which is by no means useless. As you know, there are many Japanese banks in China. Look at their recruitment information. Many positions state that you must return to Japan. If you have the corresponding language ability, it will be very advantageous.

3. Brokers are securities companies, and the requirements are definitely high. Graduate students from prestigious schools are the foundation. Moreover, in recent years, brokers have told us that the development has passed and the merger has begun. The external demand for talents is really not high, and there are few research posts. Fund companies don't like fresh graduates and like to dig researchers from brokers. Of course, other positions, such as sales and customer service (not the kind called 10086), are still recruited in the back office.

4, CFA is naturally good, don't expect too much. Some companies value this certificate, while others despise it. Mainly icing on the cake, it is difficult to give timely help. The biggest gain of CFA is actually the learning process, not just the certificate.

I don't know which country you are studying in. If you can stay in America, don't come back. Even if you want to go back to China, you have been working abroad for several years. Besides, the current domestic environment, you know. . . It's too late to emigrate, so why come back?

The topic you asked is quite miscellaneous. Career planning is really a big project. We'll discuss any ambiguities.
