隨住2021投行Summer Analyst逐漸開始接受申請,同學亦係時候要計劃自己嘅Application Plan!為咗幫你快速了解不同IB部門嘅工作內容、需要嘅工作技能同來年嘅HC,HKCareers係尼緊幾個星期二將會做一個IB Series,為你逐一介紹iBank不同部門!今日打頭陣嘅係好多同學會睇漏眼嘅Middle & Back office!如果你想知道:1️⃣ 點解係2021 /22 嘅市場環境必須報投行中後台、2️⃣ Middle & Back office有咩Roles?3️⃣ 有咩性格同技能嘅同學應該報投行中後台部門?如果你都想了解更多,咁like同Save完嗰Post好拉落去睇啦!

.

1️⃣ 投行中後台有咩部門:

🔺 Compliance🔺 Risk🔺 Finance🔺 Operation: 包括Project Mgnt、Business Analytics 等🔺其他:HR、Marketing及Internal Audit等,不過呢啲位就比較少請Fresh Grad

.

2️⃣ 點解你應該報投行中後台?

🔺 有人話中後台比Front office較不受Market Condition影響:當市況唔好時,Front Office受到嘅影響會比較大,以IBD或S&T為例,如果Market唔好時,可能有嘅Deals唔多,甚至追唔到sales target嘅時候,咁就真係會有被炒嘅機會🙈但呢點未必係因為你做得唔好,只係Market唔好,令你無發揮嘅機會!

🔺 較少Sales Stress:如果加入Front Office,無論係IBD、S&T、AM或PB也好,都一定要接觸r比較多clients,無論你係要pitch clients定係advice clients也好,都需要經常同客戶溝通。所以如果同學未必係咁外向,講嘢好叻,或者要揹起一定Sales stress嘅話,咁做internal role可能就比較適合你!

🔺 較容易Build up profile:如果同學係Target 投行,但之前未有相關嘅工作或實習經驗,一般會比較建議可以報埋Middle and back office,令到自己嘅CV上出現投行嘅Brand Name先!例如可以訂立一定嘅%,一部分嘅投行報前台,一部分報中後台,增加成功率!

🔺 適合比較Detail-minded嘅同學:如果性格係比較仔細,甚至係鍾意對多啲文字嘅同學報中後台都會比較有利!

3️⃣ 有咩性格同技能嘅同學應該報投行中後台?

🔺 Compliance:近年來監管機構都訂立咗愈來愈多Regulations去監管金融機構嘅業務,所以投行亦要投放返相對嘅資源去確保自己無違規!不單因為違規嘅罰款通常會係天價,投行更怕嘅係,被人罰停一年唔可以再做相關嘅業務!做Compliance嘅人第一點必定係要做嘢細心,如果有Legal and Compliance Sense會更有利,甚至有唔少有Law背景嘅同學會選擇報Compliance。 不過正如上文所講,隨住Regulator實施愈來愈多監管政策,IB Compliance嘅headcount就會更加穩陣!而對Compliance有興趣嘅同學,亦可以考慮去讀下ICA courses,亦會有加分作用!

🔺 Risk Man:雖然有分Quantitative Risk及 Qualitative Risk兩種,但始終都係有數底嘅同學比較有利,近年來見到入到IB Risk 嘅大部分都係Risk Mgnt畢業嘅同學,或者係讀Finance、Quantitative Finance (QFIN) 或Actuarial Science嘅同學,由於可以應用到你地Quantitative Knowledge亦會有優勢。如果可以考埋FRM亦會有加分!

🔺 Finance 或Internal Audit:除咗人要細心外,入得呢兩個部門都一定要對Accounting有興趣!而考CPA都會有用,而好多同學問做完Big 4可唔可以轉返入投行或銀行,咁成功嘅Case比較多都會係Finance或Internal Audit嘅部門。當然啦,如果同學較強,直接入呢兩個部門亦唔係無可能,人工會比Big 4高好多

🔺 Operation:而家好多Ops Program會俾你做更多Projects,好似Fintech Project Man或Business Analytics 等!如果你對Fintech或Tech有興趣,但又唔係識好多Programming Knowledge,就更加可以Aim for Project Man!PMP Qualification就係有關於Project Man可以留意嘅認證
