I'm Wu Xiaomeow, a CFA lecturer who has been working in the financial industry for 10 years.
The financial industry has always been a high-paying industry in people's minds, and many people envy those financial elites who earn millions of dollars a year. When I first entered the industry, I also fantasized about earning millions a year and enjoying the fantasy of lying flat in life.
Let's bring back the reality, as an insider, what is the chain of contempt that is said to be within the financial industry.
Annual salary despise chain:
Top: Investment Banking, Private Equity, Hedging** (Millions, Strong Sense of Superiority).
Middle-level: commercial banks, brokers, trust companies (not as good as the top, but overall good).
Bottom: Finance company, microfinance company (the lowest of the three, the work pressure is still very high).
People in the industry despise the chain:
Bank researcher diss investment banker.
Many industry researchers claim to be China's Warren Buffett, and they always feel that they can invest in those good companies when they do primary market investment research, "10 times the return is mediocre, and 100 times the return is barely good".
I have chatted with industry researchers before, and one of the things they often say is: they are not just trying to make money, but to change the world, so they always diss those investment bankers who boast an annual salary of one million every day, feeling that they have no ideals and no pursuits.
Investment bankers diss the Big Four.
Investment bankers are more down-to-earth pragmatists. After all, you can be employed for 2 years with an annual salary of millions;5 years in the company, financial freedom. But they will still diss the big four people who don't have too much money, after all, in the eyes of investment bankers, they are so poor that they only have money left.
Big four diss bankers.
The four big people feel that their CPA has a salary increase every year, and the job hopping has tripled, and the future is infinitely better, although our income is not high for the time being, but there is hope for life, so the four big people will diss the bankers, laughing at the bankers who "do ten years at one rank, get five years with a salary, and work from 8 to 4".
Although bankers are at the bottom of the chain of being despised, they feel that their jobs are stable, their benefits are good, and they get off work on time.
However, for such a chain of contempt, I have to remind you that the chain of contempt we just talked about is not self-consistent, just kidding, there is no difference between high and low work, only suitable for yourself, then combined with your own interests, combined with your own ability, in order to make your career longer, better development.
So, after all, no matter how you choose, everyone is a worker, and you are expected to diss others every day, so it is better to calm down and work hard, and tell yourself three times a day: "Workers, the soul of work, part-time work is a master, if you don't work hard today, the society will be eliminated tomorrow." 100 Families Help Program
