per Sushi request, The discussion about IB and VC

funnytiger · 发表于 2003-5-17 01:03:00

ok, am I too confident about my knowledge? or just I have not seen things that is so obvious?

well, as long as it worth a discussion, and someone is going to benifit from it, I am all for it.

So what in the world is wrong, when I said "IB job is the top tier of finance career(I count VC in that)" ?

I know my Chinese is much better than English, isn't it?

So do I.
Debate makes us eloquent and smart.

谁说得有道理，我就为谁“摇旗呐喊”

Dear Funnytiger,

As far as I am concerned, it’s difference of opinions, not a debate. Sharing different outlooks gives me much pleasure than claiming victory.

And, although I find your words -"IB job is the top tier of finance career(I count VC in that)"- hardly agreeable, I admire people who stick w/ their believes, and these people are the ones who make the most.

Best,

Sushi

sushi, it is never a debate at my side. (oops, does that count as a debate?)

IB industry has two-year delay comparing to other private sectors. that is, the worst of this down-turn had just started. I kept hearing about layoffs from my NYC friends. some second or third tier IB people at St. Louis and San Francisco are getting pink slip. luckily I am working for them but not one of them.

I don't like IB at all. two words to conclude it all - "no life". For people out there who want to join the party, watch out and remember "what you get is what you paid for"

MC is a better choice for me IF it is avaliable

“IB ppl in San Francisco get pink slip”, I can understand that, but in St. Louis?!

Anyways, I know little about MC and thus am not in a good position to make any judgment. But business-wise (in this lousy economy), I think that IT Consulting Companies might enjoy a better life here in China – any input/correction is welcomed here.

Ever think of trying the VC/PE thing – now that you have start-up experience AND finance knowledge AND deal-cracking skills. I might give you a dose of what is happening in this sector in Asia, IF your email is available ;0)

Sushi, what is "PE" mean in your post above?

funnytiger · 发表于 2003-5-20 14:17:00

Sushi, 不打不相识啊，哈哈

ST. Louis actually have many IB offices, that surprises me too. but well, nothing really going on in the mid point of the america, ... except for baseball. I happen to know this , because one of my elder mentor told me that he has to fly to st louis for the road show with local IBs. Considering the size of his company, I can safely say that there must be some serious IBers up there.

hey, good to know that you are doing VC in China. actually I am helping my friend here to arrange finance for his startup. The project is promising, considering that one of the top VC has sit his butt on the advisory board. write to me at funnytiger@softhome.net if you have time, thanks

PE = private equity

sushi · 发表于 2003-5-20 17:37:00

1. Private equity provides capital to enterprises not quoted on a stock market

PE can be used to
- develop new products and technologies,
- to expand working capital,
- to make acquisitions, or
- to strengthen a company’s balance sheet.
- to resolve ownership issues. A succession in family-owned companies, or the buyout (MBO) and buy-in (MBI) of a business by experienced managers, may be achieved using private equity funding.

There's a link to the PE glossary that you might find useful:
