In investment banks, there is a large number of special groups. They are human couriers who fly across most of China just to deliver a signature page;
They followed the leader through the five-star hotels in Financial Street, and on the way home after getting drunk, they could only catch the last Line 4 bus or take the cheapest Didi bus;
They often work as chores and have less money (sometimes even no money), hoping that the aunt in the canteen can add a few more grains of meat;
They can resist the pressure of customers and leaders at work, and can squeeze into the crowds of Lujiazui after get off work;
With the aura of a prestigious school, they are the pride of their parents and the envy of their classmates. They are also the hard-working Xiao Zhao, Xiao Qian and Xiao Sun in the skyscraper, laying a solid foundation for the most tedious advancement of each investment bank project;
They are the reserve forces of investment banks. This special group has a common name - interns.
None of the above has anything to do with Li Jie. In the following period, everyone's guesses seemed to be confirmed. Ren Zeyu gave Li Jie special treatment at work, such as printing, scanning, copying, text proofreading, invoice express delivery, human flesh express delivery, etc.
Pmin (a ruthless PPT creation tool), checking information and other tedious tasks are all out of reach of Li Jie.
Generally speaking, according to functional classification, investment bank employees can be divided into three categories: front office, middle office and back office. Among them, the front office is the most important revenue-generating department and is responsible for dealing directly with customers. Departments generally belonging to the front office include investment banking department (IBD), mergers and acquisitions
Department (M&A), Equity Market Operations (EMC, such as IPO), Debt Market Department (DCM), Sales & Trading Department, Research Department (Research).
The risk control and compliance departments belong to the middle office department, while the operations, finance, technology, and human resources departments belong to the back office.
The most profitable department within an investment bank is the front office department, among which the sales and trading and investment banking departments are the best and the most competitive.
At present, the operations department where Li Jie works basically does some support work and does not deal directly with customers. Usually most interns start their internship in this department because the requirements for professional quality in the operation department are not so strict.
In fact, Chen Tianlin originally planned to let Li Jie work in the research department or investment banking department, but Li Jie refused.
The purpose of his joining the company was not to make money, but to come to Guan Ju'er. As the saying goes, those who are closer to the water get the better. His plan was to get Guan Ju'er into the company first. Later, he could go to any department without any problem.
At first, everyone complained about the preferential treatment Li Jie received, because as an intern, you don’t know anything. If you don’t do printing, scanning, and copying, are you still called an intern?
Investment banks are basically organized into project teams. A project team is composed of a project leader, an on-site leader, one or two core personnel, and a number of interns. Regular employees are responsible for accounting, legal and legal matters.
For professional work, interns are mainly responsible for auxiliary work, such as typing, printing, copying, proofreading, editing, etc.
Li Jie and Guan Ju'er both belong to the same project team. Guan Ju'er is like a new rookie, doing repetitive and mechanical work all day long, often staying at the printer for an entire afternoon, while Li Jie belongs to a professional team.
A professional job, mainly responsible for accounting business.
Because he completed his work quickly and well, other people's complaints gradually became smaller when they saw this situation. During this period, some people curiously asked Li Jie what he did before.
So Li Jie talked about his work experience at CICC and Goldman Sachs. So far, no matter the old or new employees, they have no complaints. CICC is the top three in the domestic investment industry, not to mention Goldman Sachs. With such a work resume, it is natural
You don't need to be like other interns.
Strong people will be treated favorably no matter which profession they are in.
Guan Ju'er's treatment was much worse. Although she had been mentally prepared for it, the long and heavy repetitive work still severely dampened her enthusiasm.
The only thing that gave her some comfort was that Li Jie would spend an hour every day teaching her various little knowledge and skills.
Of course, this hour is off-duty time, or overtime time.
As a back-office department, the operations department does not work overtime as frequently as the front-office department, but the off-duty time is usually relatively late. It is common to get off work at 7 or 8 o'clock every day. One of the famous Ten Commandments of the Intern Jungle is to be the last one to get off work early.
Only when you go to work can you get extra points for becoming a regular employee.
With the already heavy workload and the extra study time, Guan Juer usually comes home at nine or ten o'clock every day. She usually falls asleep at ninety as soon as she gets home. Guan Juer definitely doesn't want to give up the opportunity to become a full-time employee easily.
Therefore, she works overtime until very late every day. Only after finishing the work at hand is her exclusive study time.
Li Jie naturally worked overtime with her every day, which moved Guan Juer very much.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the 30th floor of Huaxin Building was still brightly lit.
Guan Ju'er finally completed today's work. From two o'clock in the afternoon until now, her work trajectory is basically from the printer to the work station, and then from the work station to the printer, sorting out the thick manuscripts, and at the end of the day, moving materials
Moving makes my back hurt.
When the last stack of information was sorted out, Guan Ju'er rubbed her sore arms and said to Li Jie next to her.
"Xie Tong, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long every day!"
Li Jie smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I see that you are very tired today. Do you want to take a break today? Can you go back and rest early?"
Guan Ju'er was a little moved when she heard this, but when she thought that she was still just an intern, she immediately threw all the lazy thoughts out of her mind.
"No, no, let's continue today!"
Li Jie saw Guan Ju'er's resolute look and simply stopped trying to persuade him and nodded.
"Okay, let's start class directly!"
"Um!"
Li Jie opened a red 'W' software icon on the computer desktop, and then moved the computer towards Guan Ju'er.
"Let me tell you about this today. Do you know this software?"
There are barriers between workstations in the office, and the area of each workstation is very small. Guan Ju'er couldn't help but move closer to Li Jie in order to easily view the content on the laptop.
The two of them were very close, and Guan Ju'er could feel the breath of Li Jie's words. Guan Ju'er, who felt the breath, couldn't help but blush on his face.
"Um?"
Li Jie let out a light sigh, and Guan Juer immediately came back to her senses.
"Yeah, I know."
"Okay, Wande can be said to be one of our most commonly used financial data service software. Its data covers stocks, funds, bonds, foreign exchange, insurance, futures, etc. Basically, everything commonly used in the securities industry is included.
You must master it skillfully!”
"Today I will teach you how to query data efficiently."
…………
"Do you see this?"
"kindness."
"This is specially used to find IPO historical data."
…………
"This is specifically used to find historical bond data."
"kindness."
…………
“Here you can access macroeconomic data and industry databases.”
"kindness."
…………
"I will export a piece of data for you to see first. Well, don't look at the slow export. In fact, this is normal time because the software is large and takes up a lot of memory."
