职业Path Advice for a New Banker
Hi,
I ended up with a pretty amazing graduate position down here in New Zealand, which I started about 3 months ago. I'm looking for some advice and insight on what career paths I have available and should be looking to take. I hope this is in the right forum.
让我首先提供一些背景。大约2 1/2年前，我从我们的5所主要大学之一中完成了本科生（几乎均匀地受到尊重）。当我完成工作时，我没有申请任何工作，我离开了欧洲，美国，阿拉斯加和中美洲。在这些旅行的中间，我在这里的银行招募时回到新西兰几个月。他们通常在学习最后一年的开始/中期提供报价。
我的一家大银行中的“机构银行业”业务给了我一个提议。我们真的没有在新西兰拥有投资银行，所以我们谈论的是富国银行等等。显然，在该计划中，只有超过1％的申请被授予了职位 - 因此，我对此感到非常满意。
The structure of the program is great in that it realises that most of us a) don't really know how banking works, and b) don't really know where our interests/strengths lie. I signed a 2 year contract that moves me every 6 months for those 2 years, giving me a pretty broad exposure through out Markets Team, Economics Team (advisory to clients and internally), Strategy/Project Management Team, and Relationship Management. We have some prop traders, but the majority of what we do is obviously sell-side.
So I feel pretty well-placed by New Zealand standards. I have a 4.00 GPA, a top-of-the-country graduate job, and over the next few months, I'll actually be heading the team that is bringing a brand new hedging product to market.
这就是我目前的位置。现在问题是我要去哪里？
I don't want to work in New York or London. I don't want to work 100 hours a week. I don't really care about salary. I do want to be interested/engaged/challenged by my work. I'd like to position myself over the next 5 years so that I can do contract/consulting work or at least be very flexible with my time. I plan on starting my own business (completely unrelated to finance) over the next few years and would like to be able to regularly have time to devote to that when necessary. i.e. work 4 months on 4 months off.
So I guess the underlying questions is how do I fast-track myself, from where I am, to a position where I can choose my own hours and still do interesting work? Keep in mind that I don't ever need to make a million bucks a year, or even close.
我对感兴趣PE，，，，VC，资金管理和咨询（以及我什至不知道我感兴趣的其他领域）。我很聪明，也有很好的人技能。
I am planning on sitting my firstCFAexam in Dec.
Anyway, I really would appreciate your thoughts and insights on which direction I should be headed and how to best get there. I would also really be interested in working in Asia, or Latin America.
Thanks in Advance,
NZX

似乎你太开放,而不是moderately focused as to what you want to do going forward. The criteria that you listed are conflicting in some ways and downright incompatible in some instances. For example, you are saying that you want to start your own business down the line. To do this you will need contacts wherever you want to open your shop cause nothing happens without good contacts. For this you would need to have worked in that location first. Secondly, you will need a decent amount of start-up capital that you will have to provide solely by yourself unless you want to have partners. To get that type of money and contacts in 3-4 years, you need a solid paying job in a major finance power house which would inevitably make you work in one of the major financial centers of the world i.eNYC，，，，London, Hong Kong at least for a couple of years. So you need to be flexible about that.
If you are interested inPEorVC， 这CFAis downright useless. It does not give you any credible skills that will give you an edge and having aCFAis not going to make you stand out for those jobs as far as recruiters are concerned. Having experience at a solid凸起支架在vestment bank最重要的因素是吸引吗tention of PE or VC recruiters. Take theCFAif you are interested inequity researchat the Hedge fund level or even at凸起支架银行。
If you want to get a position where you can pick your own hours, you need to start your own business cause nothing else will allow you to do that ( even MD's and partners at big name firms have to haul ass when deals come to a close in the middle of the night). If you want to do personal wealth management, this would be relatively easy as you can build relationships and then manage the money of individuals. The pay in this is significantly lower (than banking,PEetc) as your commission will be your pay. That being said , if your client book is huge, then you will make good money.
在您列出的任何其他领域开展业务，由于进入障碍很高，很难。划分每个部门的最佳方法是与每个领域的行业退伍军人进行交谈。为此，您需要在工作场所开始建立网络，并与雇主的其他部门联系，如果该部门是该地区的主要财务强国。并开始提出相关问题。
希望有帮助。
