四大mm职业生涯求助~！

大家好！

谢谢ls提供的信息。

其实我也想过去美国读mba，但是感觉目前的经历（顶多还有个财务证书）似乎没有outstanding之处，且申请准备还要两年时间（以四大的繁忙程度，考gt都耗时长久），而我已经不能忍受四大目前的生活了，转行也要乘早吧。最后一个问题是，百万的学费对于将来读出来想去商业银行的我来说，不知道要还多少年了；而商业银行对于无银行从业经验的top mbaer又能给予什么level的职位呢。。。~

Hi, don't know whether I am qualified to give comments, but I'd like to share with you my opinions. Hope it helps.

1) Ignore the following words if they offend you. You are already 26, but still single. If you study further, you will be even older. So, think twice. Ask yourself what the right timing is for a business or graduate school.

2) What do you mean by core business in a commercial bank? I guess it is urgent to find what your interest lies in first.

3) Your work experience at Big 4 firms is a big plus if you apply for accounting-related positions. While the careers you like may be not completely
focused on finance and accounting skills, you will nonetheless find yourself looking at financial information more often than you would expect. I've enumerated some specific functions for accountants as follows: budget analysis, cost estimation, loan analysis and approval, financial analysis, personal financial advisory, tax examination, etc.

    I wonder whether you've obtain CICPA qualification. If not, I strongly suggest you get it, rather than resign and prepare for entrance exams for graduate school. In addition, why not try CFA? My friend in HSBC is also preparing for it, and CFA designation is a big plus when you apply to finance-related positions in foreign-owned banks.

4) As I know, there is a sub-line focusing on banking industry in advisory dept at big 4 firms. Why not try a function switch? Work experience on banking advisory will better prepared you for a successful career in commercial banks.

5）Finally, let's discuss MBA or a master degree. MBA in finance is also highly appreciated by stated-owned banks. I know one from my univ won a contract with BOC Head office, with an annual salary of 300k. And his work experience is not prominent compared to yours in Big 4 firms. "是不是外资银行只要是经管院的专业就可以，而中资银行偏重经济学院的专业？" It is totally wrong and ridiculous. Forget it. "后者国内研究生，优点是商行的认可度，", I have to tell it is just your thought, only your thought.

Sorry, I talk too much. Hope it is of help to you.

Why u r still single is not that important. But I suggest u participate in some social activities. It is fun, and u will have chance to makes friends with more people in other industries, rather than solely sissies in big 4. Lol.

“至于CFA，这个对于进银行业确实很有帮助，不过要考三年，呵呵，我已经不能忍受再有三年呆在四大做井底之蛙的生活了。。。”

Make it clear that u r pursuing a career for life, not for the following years. So, never too late to learn.

“那个应该是投行业务吧。除去这个部门本身就比我现在的更忙之外，我也想过冲进去，拼一年再出来，可是现在金融危机，他们部门都没生意，不砍人就不错了，我还能转进去吗。。”

No, I was talking about management advisory towards banking industries.

U should learn to wait. Yep, the whole economy suffered a lot and may be even worsened. So why not enjoy the god-given free time for relax and recharge? Lol.

Finally, I’d like to tell u I graduate from a polytechnic univ. with a B.E. degree. And I even failed to pass National Computer Rank Exams Band 2. But I won offers from both Big 4 and a leading foreign software company. If I can make it, why can’t you?

However, your work experience & education background are both perfect for an accounting-related position. Sure enough, different positions require different quality and w/e. I suggest you investigate the specific JD (job descriptions) of the position u r fond of first.

Best luck！！！

我這邊也多嘴一下

能不能認識新朋友雖然跟工作有關係  但並不是那麼絕對的關係

而會不會SINGLE也不一定跟認識新朋友的數目大小有絕對關係

我也有在四大的姐妹認識的男人們一年四五十個跑不掉)

(還有投行的姐妹 數字不下於上頭的)  她們有SINGLE的  也有很甜蜜的  真的是看人了

所以  這不能說跟工作有絕對的掛勾  關鍵是每個人有不同REACH OUT的方式  而妳也許沒有把這當做一個FOCUS   所以也沒有去REACH OUT  

很多非常FOCUS在CAREER上的人往往忽視了這部份    但這部份  其實也是CAREER的一部份

Never call me“小朋友”！I hate it, for it makes me sick.

I never regard myself as a "小朋友"，but a man who takes reponsibility, who is willing and to face challenges in life and who never speaks like a molly.

There does be a management advisory sub-line in Advisory Dept. In ****, it is named performance improvement. And I have a friend in PI sub-line, who is assigned into financial group, which deals with financial companies, esp commercial banks.
