Chipmunk, thanks for your personal attention so far. hehe...

You're welcome, brother! I wish you could bring more insightful information about Oxford, if you don't mind. I'm sure lots of our members here are more than happy to hear that.

By the way, is it still hot in Brit? I heard 1000 French people (can I say they're fragile?) already died because of that.

I am in the US at this moment, preparing for my trip to Europe. I will travel to several countries before I land in England. Where are you now?

zhang206

probably not. you must be good at it.

I'm in Canada now, just cross your north border. Honestly, if Oxford provides two years program, I would seriously consider it. Oxford is Oxford, that's something I can tell my grandson.

oh, so sorry. ... why not......well, are you Chinese?

what kind of question is this? are you making fun of me?

zhang206

I am just the opposite. I like one-year program. Less debt.

To me, a 2-year program is very useful if one wants to make a career change into top finance firms. However, in this economy, it seems that it's almost impossible to get into IB without previous IB experience, Chinese or Americans.

As I said earlier in another thread, the best bet for a Chinese to go to Wall Street is to do a math or hard science PHD at places like MIT. It was true back in the 90s, and I think it’s more so nowadays. You know, these guys can do some “dirty” quantitative type of work, such as derivatives. An MBA just doesn’t prepare you for it.

But on the hand, finance is boring as hell and the working environment is less than desirable. There is no doubt in my mind that the best way to go is to be an entrepreneur. One feels more accomplished and could enjoy life better, IMHO.

First, if the company in the original post is a state-owned or unknown company, it will be a very hard case to sell regardless of your title.

not exactly. one of my friends got into LBS. He was a " fu hangzhang" from a remote small city branch office of bank of china.

last time I checked, there are exceptions to every generalization. enough said.

also, one with complete working experience in domestic/state-owned companies will inevitably have a much harder time to adjust to the learning environment, etc. and compete with his/her classmates in the job hunt front unless, of course, this person desires to go back to the domestic/state-owned route.
