[求助]小妹在IB 的烦恼请大家帮帮忙

小妹今年24..在一家前五大IB 做 sales& trading 的assistant. 在那工作满一年

公司再过3-5 months 要promote 我做 sales trader. (不过等找好我的replacement, 一切交接好起码也要 6-7 months 我猜) 非常烦恼该不该接受

我本来就计划申请 2007 MBA, ROUND 1. 要和我的男朋友一起出去

他还为了我延一年出国

现在想听听各位大哥大姐意见该不该接受呢?? 还是3-4月后该老实说我的MBA计划?

我担心几点

1. 似乎不太可能刚被promote 没多久就去要 rec letter. if appl;y round 1, need rec letter in August to October?

降我找的人就受限于公司外的人了那我在这家公司的表现就无法由recommender 展现

2. 我担心无法和MBA admission officer 解释为何promote 不到一年就出国

为何不做长一点

3. After MBA, 这各纪录会部会影响我回IB 呢?? 我MBA career goal 其实还没想好不过不会写 IB Sales & trading. 但是也不排除将来可能回来. 而且不太想piss off 现在的主管们..

换一角度想一年被promote 感觉是一个big recognition. 是否也会带我进入另

一各level? title 不再是assistant. 也许after MBA, 我可以从更高阶的职位做起

希望各位可以给我的意见在此先感谢大家 !!!!!!

帮楼主顶一个。偶也想听听IBers的看法。

(1) 你才24岁, 读MBA尤其是TOP学校好象再多几年经验也不错.

(2) 但如果你为了WHAT SO EVER 原因一定要07年去读,那你就准备去.工作上的事即使是PROMOT之后马上走也不必觉得不好意思.因为这就是BUSINESS WORLD的生活.

我记得我两年前换工作时在公司LUNCH ROOM遇到总裁,他说我干得很好对我在公司的服务表示感谢.我当时很不好意思,说I AM SORRY.... 他立刻说你不要这样想,只要你觉得那是最适合你的你就去.

把这件事反过来说, 比如你认为留在公司好而放弃了猎头的邀请.但公司要LAYOFF,公司可不会考虑你刚刚拒绝了别人的OFFER而不LAYOFF 你. 前几年联想裁人, 被裁员工写了一篇文章网上广为流传"公司不是家".

多说两句.

(1) 好多人都有顾虑推荐信不请本公司的人写. 你可以找本公司的也可以找公司外的. 但一定不要因为你是刚刚获得PROMOTION所以你认为不能请本公司的人写.

(2) 至于给B-SCHOOL的人讲为什么刚有PROMOTION就去MBA:

第一只要把故事讲好了什么都能说通,缺点都能说成强项.第二我根本不认为这是一个ISSUE. B-SCHOOL关心的是WHY MBA和WHY NOW. 没有人关心WHY STRAIGHT AFTER PROMOTION. 这不过是因为这事在你心头太重所以你现在所有的考虑都是这件事.

Hi - you still get at least 1 year before you leave. right? 1 year for one position is not short. So, my suggestion is - take the promotion, it will also help your application. But if you feels not comfortable, you can tell your boss directly about your plan - say that you are planning for MBA and let him/her decide if giving you the promo, normally they will.

以下是引用CAMBA在2006-3-5 15:12:00的发言：

我想不透刚刚被promote 没多久

该如何要 rec letter ? 感觉老板会不高兴 ><

那再请问camba, 你觉得我take promotion, 对我申请MBA 有帮助吗??

(1) Regarding Recommendation letter from boss in general:

It is always a concern to get the rec letter from current boss. People are worrying probably they will have to leave even before they get adimtted by the B-School.

In general (just in general) IB and Consulting industry are relatively OK. In such industies MBA is almost a must. After several years people will go to pursue the MBA, a process called "to get the ticket punched".

But in your own case it depends on the relationship between you and your "recommender-to-be" and whether you feel comfortable about that.

(2) Regarding recommendation immediately after your promotion:

I believe the logic in (1) still applies here. The immediate promotion does not really make any difference here.

(3) Regarding whether the promotion will help in your B-School application:

The answer is definitely yes. During the application you need to show your achievement on your career path (or at least the potential to achieve). Having been promoted is a concrete proof of your achievement.
