    工作四周记

    工作第四周,又是不知道怎样就忙过来了,大致每天工作从8点到1、2点,伴随着老板至爱的名言:“Money doesn't sleep"。
     
    中午出去买饭盒的时候,突然想到一个比喻。传统意义上,在四大工作是低风险低回报,就像债券(Bond);在投行工作是高风险高回报,就像股票(Stock)。而从四大跳到投行,恭喜,你就成了可转股债券(Convertible Bond)。传统智慧都觉得股票风险比债券大,但是,当金融危机中四大都开始炒人的时候,大家才发现,原来债券都可以default的,并非毫无风险的。当然,债券里也分,有些相对低风险的,比如G7政府债券,被称为投资级别债券(Investment grade Bond),因为风险低,回报相对较低。而另外一些,现在被称作高收益债券(High-yield Bond),属于评级较低,风险较大,因此回报较高的,高收益债券是美化后的名字,它的真实名字叫垃圾债券(Junk Bond)。在四大里,头两年收入很低,也不是那么容易被炒;之后日子就越来越难过了。因此,同样是债券,头两年还是投资级债券,之后再继续做下去,恭喜,你就变成垃圾债券了。于是,你可以考CFA,给自己加一个埋藏期权(Enbedded Option),做Convertible Bond,期待有一天可以转变成股票。但是,期权的执行价(Strike Price)越高,债券成分就越高;执行价越低,股票成分就越高。当你过了Level 1,嗯,有了一个高执行价了,不大可能会转变过来;当你过了Level 2,执行价又低一点了,离Conversion就又近一步了;当你过了Level 3,又有不错的人脉(Network),还有名校背景、流利的英语和不算差的模样,那么进投行几乎就是a matter of time了。
