The first position is to become the "buyer" of the financial market. The project investment credit business is the "seller" of the financial market. Many people have changed from "sellers" to "buyers". The key point is to join Public Offering of Fund or fund investment institutions and switch to primary market business processes such as private equity investment or venture capital, or secondary market business processes such as stock market investment. In particular, the former situation is more extensive.
Venture capital and private equity funds must tap the use value of enterprises, which is also possessed by excellent investment bankers. At the same time, project investment has always been withdrawn. No matter IPO or merger and acquisition of sold enterprises, it is necessary to understand consumer investment, which happens to be the expertise of investment bankers. In other words, from investment bankers to venture capital institutions, it is equivalent to helping other people's enterprises sell, to helping their own enterprises sell, from obtaining underwriting commissions to obtaining asset returns.
Under the condition of distinguishing whether a project has investment value, investment bankers can usually use their unique vision honed in investment banks to evaluate the future sales of this new project and the probability of releasing opportunities, and make full use of various resources, such as understanding intermediary services and control, to improve the speed and the probability of completion. The use value of early investment projects can be viewed from the perspective of middle and late consumer investment, which is the advantage of investment bankers switching to private investment industry.
But there are two things that must be reminded. First, the buyer's logical thinking and the buyer's logical thinking are interlinked, but there are also great differences in perspective. Investment bankers must change their logical thinking.
Second, China's financial market has experienced the whole process of the gradual opening of the stock registration system, and the business operation mode of venture capital institutions has undergone great changes, from "hedging arbitrage of company valuation to stock investment" and "from passive profit to active subversion and innovation". If you still only want to hedge and arbitrage the company's valuation based on the simple investment in the new Pre-IPO project, it is likely to be gradually replaced by the market.
The second direction is to go to work in enterprises. Investment bankers enter the enterprise, make full use of their professional abilities, and serve as CFO (Chief Operating Officer), secretary of the board of directors, institutional executives who focus on consumer investment and project investment, or as department heads in such related departments.
In many cases, investment bankers are attracted by customers and invited to work in enterprises, or the boss of this customer strongly recommends it to other enterprises, or the headhunting company strongly recommends it to corporate customers.
In the whole process here, there is even a "post-"secretary who specializes in IPO services for enterprises. They use their own investment banking experience to help enterprises complete the IPO sale, and then take senior management positions such as secretary of the board of directors in other companies that will be listed soon to help enterprises sell. In particular, in order to better attract and encourage such personnel, private enterprises are likely to give professional employees stock ownership plans. Once the sale is successful, my wealth will greatly increase in value.
Here is a situation that must be put forward professionally and clearly. Some investment bankers, who have served a private enterprise for a long time, are likely to have good self-contact with the business owner, be appreciated by the business owner, and be strongly invited to be senior managers.
If you want to make this choice, it is suggested that investment bankers must think carefully in advance whether they have enough working ability to solve the following situations: the first situation is to merge with the change of the real identity of the business owner. Before entering the enterprise, it is very likely that you and the merchant have a deep heart and heart, and even get along fairly, but if you enter the enterprise, you can integrate into the role change.
The second situation is that it can solve the complex relationship within the enterprise. As a foreign professional, it is different from dealing with all kinds of complex interests of personnel departments including "old ministers" immediately when entering an enterprise.
The third situation is the change of time playability. Time is more casual in investment banks, but it is completely different in enterprises. The fourth situation is that the work pressure is high, I hope to succeed as soon as possible, and the objective natural environment is limited. Therefore, in many cases, whether investment banking professionals immediately work for their bosses is not only a functional issue, but also a big pattern and emotional intelligence problem between themselves and their bosses.
The third position is to do business by yourself. Starting your own business also includes many situations, including starting a business in an industrial company and choosing a job that you like, understand or feel has the most potential. It also includes "classic investment banks" operating on their own or cooperating with the most familiar people, opening up private equity investment management companies or opening up key FA business processes.
The fourth position is to become a flexible employee completely. Nowadays, media platforms are popular, and the professional knowledge service industry is also in the ascendant. Some investment banking professionals choose to become free, build a technical professional media platform and engage in professional knowledge service industry.
