In China, finance is still people business. Whether we wanna face it or not, we have to suck it.
IMO, it's absolutely okay to choose a lucrative industry, since most ppl don't actually have strong tendencies about what to do.
The problem is not about the industry itself, payment, academic background and stuff but about the expectation. The average payment for employees in the industry is higher than average, but just like every other industry, the payment has a lot to do with supply and demand.
Due to the destitution of 'high-end' product development, most job positions(especially for ppl just start their career) in the business become extremely similar not only about payment but also job description: sales. Everyone wants to be a cool manager or a respected analyst, but face the truth, it's not easy to be one, and it would be much harder to be a good one. The road in the industry is both attractive and agonizing.
For those from top tier schools, choosing finance industry is one of the easiest ways to 'liquidize' your talent considering the harsh time of starting up their own businesses. But for those without strong ability or background(i mean social background not academics), this industry would only provide you a job with a slightly higher payment and much more stress, lower self esteem and endless eager to the higher level.
I personally have friends with strong preference to this industry, and my suggestion would always be: do it if you like it before jumping on the wagon, and suck it even you don't like where it might take you.
Hopefully that might help some of you to start thinking before making a decision solely on purpose of getting more money and fancy stuff. Embrace the uncertainties but always be clear about what you're looking for. |
