The Development Path of Investment Bank Project Assistant Industry Researcher: the "Source" of Company's Economic Decision-making

Introduction: Generally speaking, people can and must know their professional market like the back of their hand. But for listed companies, many tasks of self-analysis and self-examination, including investment evaluation and financial data analysis, are beyond the reach of most practitioners. Industry researchers play such a "source" role in the self-positioning and economic decision-making of companies.

The value of industry researchers has doubled.

The personnel manager of a securities research institution with more than 100 researchers said that there are not many good industry researchers in this circle, and only a few people are really qualified. Everyone knows each other very well. Generally speaking, the research department of a brokerage firm is equipped with 7~ 10 researchers, with about 30 people.

If you want to be an industry researcher, you don't have to have a financial background. Many researchers study medicine, geology, philosophy and other majors that have nothing to do with finance and economy. The human resource manager said that when recruiting researchers, it is not limited to the majors of economics and finance, but according to the knowledge structure of their related industries, which industries need corresponding professional knowledge. For example, studying agriculture, because the industry has relatively low professional requirements, people who study financial analysis can be competent; However, if we want to study high-tech industries such as microelectronics, even if researchers know economics and finance, they don't know science and technology, so it is difficult to conduct in-depth research.

Due to the long training period and high training cost, the value of industry researchers has doubled, and some foreign-funded enterprises are willing to pay millions of dollars every year to tap truly high-level industry researchers.
