Which is more difficult to enter, the brokerage research institute or the investment bank?

The most difficult departments for brokers are research institutes and investment banks.

The back-office departments that truly have the characteristics of securities firms are the liquidation and custody department and information IT. Among them, the two core departments, the research institute and the investment banking department, generally do not recruit fresh graduates, and 90% of them are transferred from other industries. Investment banks like candidates with accounting and law firm backgrounds, while research institutes like candidates with industry backgrounds.

There are only a handful of recruits for each position of securities firms, which may be 1-2 places. Most of the places will be directly selected from interns in winter and summer vacations, so there are fewer opportunities for fresh graduates. There may be no news after the online application, and the admission rate is only about 2%-3%.
