There is probability that the two will become one.

The idea of merge has been rejected.

please stop polluting this board. if you are really competent, you don't need to be a bad mouth here on your classmates -- as a stranger and a visitor to this board, my observation says that. I'm sorry.

To be frankly, i don't think you are more competent than others--if you go to i-banks in Hong Kong today, they will reject you simply because you knew nothing about China and you refuse to learn. Believe me. Hong Kong's future relies on China--this is something every HKers should think about. Think more of your own drawbacks and areas you need to improve instead of spoil your classmates.

eople with different levels of language and capabilities are everywhere. You should be more generous to others.

catcherintherye,

Thank you for your advice. Yes, we need to introspect everyday. But I am afraid I will not work in investment banks because I do not have financial background. Now, our nation is still not a open market and therefore the investment banks focus mainly on other nations.

As for language, it is a barrier for us to find jobs. When I studied in Olin Business School, the main competitor of Chinese for job hunting is Indians. They do not have problem in interviews. This is their competitive advantage!

I think our world is very small. Each one depends on each other. The ex-president of CUHK said that his nationality was "the Earth" and not limited to just one area. He really has global mind-set. I felt very touched when I heard he said this. In a course of anthropology, I learnt that every culture is equal. We should not look down on each other.

catcherintherye,

I would believe that what Michael said is valuable. I got the ADMISSION from CUHK and OFFER (scholarship) from CEIBS.

For a mainlander,the only advantage is our mainland background. Just think, how will a US top IBank evaluate you in the interview? Y they will recruit you? Finally I gave up CUHK becaus eI believe CEIBS fits me more.

As for salary, th eaverage in HK is around 20-30k HKD. IB and MC will be much higher. What we need to think is the chance we get IB and MC offer? U ever thought about this?

But ,Michael, I believe there should be someone from Mainland who get the offer from IB. YES, THEY CAN. I met a girl from UST, she got th eoffer from M STANLY. But she gave up for the unbelievable ib life.

Usdusaj,

She should be very smart. I think life is a trade-off. You get something but you lose. We spent a lot of time in GMAT but lost our family time.

Working in investment banks may mean that she does not have spare time to enjoy herself or to meet a good boyfriend.
