First of all, as far as your major is concerned, securities companies, major banks, China Securities Regulatory Commission, Banking Regulatory Commission, insurance/fund/futures companies and other units are closely integrated with your major.
In any country that has basically completed industrialization, high-end financial talents and management talents have the highest incomes.
Of course, occupations that are unlikely to be pursued immediately after graduation from undergraduate or graduate students, such as corporate executives, cannot be included in the category of "highest-paying occupations."
So, for an undergraduate or graduate student from a key Chinese university, what are the highest-paying careers that can be obtained after graduation?
What are the careers with the broadest prospects?
Let’s list them as follows. Salary is the first consideration, development prospects are the second consideration, and social status and reputation are supplementary considerations. It is roughly as follows: 1. Foreign investment banks specifically refer to Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup Global Investments.
Bank of China, Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Bank, Credit Suisse First Boston, UBS Warburg and other first-class overseas investment banks, they all have representative offices or branches in China, and each company generally recruits 5-10 people in mainland China every year
, sometimes only 1-2 people.
Investment banks recruit graduates in China from different working locations such as Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Beijing, and Shanghai. Among them, Tokyo has the highest salary, while mainland China has lower salary.
After working in any top investment bank for 3 years and applying to a top business school in the United States, you are almost certain to succeed. Your future is limitless after graduating from an MBA.
Reference salary for investment banks (first year graduate students, undergraduate students may be slightly lower): Goldman Sachs Tokyo 900,000 RMB/year, Deutsche Asia Pacific 750,000 RMB/year, Morgan Stanley Beijing 250,000 RMB/year (year-end dividends are not included)
.
2. Foreign consulting companies specifically refer to first-class overseas consulting companies such as McKinsey, Bain, Boston Consulting Group, Monitor Group, Mercer, Accenture, etc., which can be divided into management consulting, investment consulting, human resources consulting, market consulting, technology
Consulting and other sections.
Consulting companies recruit slightly more people than investment banks, generally between 10 and 30 people per year. Firms such as McKinsey have slightly fewer people, and companies such as Mercer have slightly more people. Last year, due to the expansion of foreign consulting businesses, the number of people recruited generally increased.
The salary gap among consulting companies is relatively large, but you can get a substantial salary increase after working for 3-5 years. The salary of senior consultants is no less than that of investment bankers.
You can basically succeed in applying to the top business schools in the United States in consulting companies, and your future will be broader after graduating from an MBA.
Reference salary of consulting companies (same as above): McKinsey and Bain 150,000-200,000 RMB/year, Roland Berger 100,000 RMB/year, and the rest are in between.
The salary increases by 100% in the second year and 50%-100% in the third year. After three to four years, the annual salary can generally exceed 500,000 RMB.
3. Joint ventures or Chinese-funded investment banks, including CICC and Gao Hua Securities, BOC International can barely be counted as one.
In fact, CICC is equivalent to the Chinese branch of Morgan Stanley, with extremely high wages, but it has declined in recent years.
Gaohua is equivalent to the Chinese branch of Goldman Sachs. It has just been established for more than a year and its future is still unclear.
You can refer to foreign investment banks for wages, which are generally slightly lower.
4. Some large foreign companies with very high employee benefits. These positions are relatively scattered, but most of them are concentrated in marketing, strategic planning, financial management and other departments.
Foreign companies recognized as having high salaries and bright futures include: Procter & Gamble, Mars, Maersk, DaimlerChrysler, General Motors' financial department, etc.
The salary is not as high as that of investment banks and consulting companies, but the personal training and diversity of prospects far exceed that of investment banks, and the practicality exceeds that of consulting companies, which is very beneficial to future business work.
The work intensity of the above-mentioned foreign companies is generally much lower than that of investment banks, and comes with many training opportunities, and the "performance-price ratio" is very high.
Reference salaries for some large foreign companies (different departments often vary greatly, whichever is higher in the first year): P&G marketing or finance department 70,000-100,000 RMB/year, Maersk 100,000-200,000, Mars 120,000
about.
Johnson & Johnson and Unilever are slightly lower than P&G.
5. Foreign commercial banks or universal banks such as ABN AMRO, Société Générale, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Barclays Bank, etc. There is not a big gap between their investment banks and commercial banks, but there are certain differences in wages in each department.
Higher-paying positions such as corporate finance (equivalent to investment banking) and private banking are often much higher than general consumer banking and insurance positions.
In any case, these foreign-funded universal banks give people more comprehensive training than investment banks, and the probability of switching between various departments is greater, so the future may not be as good as that of investment banks or consulting companies.
Reference salary for foreign-funded universal banks: investment banking positions can reach 400,000-800,000 RMB/year, commercial banking positions can reach 70,000-120,000 RMB/year, and the best ones may reach 200,000 RMB/year.
6. The Big Four accounting firms: Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, and Ernst & Young.
Their salaries are not high, and may not be worth it compared to the complicated workload, but their reputations are very good. After working for 3-5 years, there is great hope of studying in business schools abroad or transferring to other foreign companies, so they are known as "springboards for talents."
