This year's autumn recruitment is particularly unfavorable for Peking University students, who find that even if they are bachelor's and master's students from top schools and popular majors, it is difficult for them to enter the leading companies in the financial industry, such as "three in one China", that is, China CITIC Group, China International Finance, China Securities Construction Investment, and Huatai, these companies are very strict in terms of students' majors and school backgrounds, and there are very few students who have the opportunity to enter every year. However, this year, even Peking University students did not have the opportunity to enter, reflecting the increasingly fierce competition in the industry and the decrease in demand for high-quality school graduates.
In the autumn recruitment process, many companies will accept resumes, but no results will be received for how many resumes they submit, and some companies even stop recruiting new people altogether. This is mainly because these companies are not short of talent, especially the top investment banks, and the turnover of personnel is small, resulting in a lack of opportunities for recruitment positions. Although this is a good job for ordinary students, it is not ideal for master's students from top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University. In banking work, most of the opportunities are limited to counter work, and there are many performance indicators that need to be met. It has nothing to do with their actual ability, but more with the family's financial resources. The students said that the first step in wanting to work in the bank is to prepare 100,000 yuan, which is not a gift, but to ensure that they can meet their performance targets. If you are a student from an ordinary family, even if you graduate from Tsinghua University or Peking University, if you don't have enough financial resources, you will have no way out. In other words, if the academic qualifications are not very ideal, but the family is wealthy, you can also exchange for a position by saving money.
Experienced students also found that students who had Xi in investment banking this year wanted to enter the industry after graduation, but also found it difficult to find corresponding positions, and finally had to choose a job in banking. This once again illustrates the situation where the industry as a whole no longer needs so much talent. Even for undergraduate and master's degree students from top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University, the number of people who can enter the top investment bank is limited. This year's recruitment situation will not only affect the employment situation this year, but also the 2024 high school graduates who will be applying for college and university applications. Finance majors have been leading the way in the choice of majors for years, but this time things may be different. If it is difficult for graduates of top universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University to find employment, then it is even more difficult for students majoring in related majors in ordinary colleges and universities to reach the desired heights. Of course, if students can accept bank jobs, that's another story. However, according to Zhang Xuefeng's evaluation of the financial field in recent years, students from ordinary families do not have too high expectations for bank work.
In view of the current employment situation, students do not need to be frustrated, because many majors have experienced peaks and troughs in their development over the years. It is not that majors are no longer favored, but an inevitable choice under social development. Investment banks have limited recruitment positions and low turnover, and the number of places available for recruitment each year is limited. In addition to the bachelor's and master's degrees from Tsinghua University, Peking University and other famous universities, there are also many master's and doctoral degrees, as well as international students returning to China for employment. For investment banks, students who have Xi in investment banks such as Citigroup or those with other investment banking experience are more valued. If you have worked in an investment bank such as Citigroup before and performed well, it will be easier to come back to work. In a highly competitive job market, excellent job performance will naturally have more competitive capital. The fewer the positions, the more students need to choose downward. Some resources are not competitive. Some students have the opportunity to study abroad in Xi middle and high school, have the opportunity to experience family businesses, and have the opportunity to meet leading figures, which will provide them with more opportunities for future employment. Origins are something we can't change, and neither can certain inherent limitations. In this case, what we need to do is not to feel sorry for ourselves, but to find other ways for ourselves and pave a path for our future that no one else can take.
At present, the competition in the financial industry is fierce, and the demand for college graduates is decreasing, especially for undergraduate and master's students from top universities, who are also facing increased employment pressure. This phenomenon made me think about employment.
First of all, I think that the ability to learn Xi in colleges and universities is still a major factor in employment. While students at some top universities also face difficulties in finding employment, the quality of education and Xi skills they receive during their time at school are still unmatched by students from other schools. Therefore, regardless of the employment situation, I believe that the quality of academic Xi and competence development in colleges and universities remains an important indicator of employment.
Secondly, I think it is also very important to choose a major that suits you. Although some popular majors, such as finance, are highly competitive in the job market, it does not mean that other majors are free of employment opportunities. Everyone's interests and areas of expertise are different, and choosing a major that suits you will increase your chances of employment. In the current employment situation, I believe that students should constantly supplement their skills and knowledge to improve their competitiveness.
In addition, I believe that it is also very important to actively participate in practical Xi and social practice. Through practical Xi, students can better understand and adapt to the working environment and accumulate work experience. Xi experience can not only improve one's personal ability, but also increase one's competitiveness when employed.
Finally, I would like to emphasize the importance of maintaining a positive and optimistic attitude. Although the employment situation is grim for many students, we cannot afford to be discouraged and give up. In the face of employment difficulties, we can consider expanding the field of employment and looking for other possible ways out. At the same time, it is also important to continuously improve your abilities, learn more about industry dynamics, and constantly adapt to the needs of the job market.
Overall, the current employment situation in the financial industry is indeed challenging, especially for undergraduate and graduate students in some universities. However, we can increase our competitiveness in employment by constantly learning Xi, practicing Xi and improving ourselves, while also maintaining a positive mindset and finding a suitable employment field for ourselves to lay a solid foundation for our future.
