I. Self-awareness
In the third year of college, I often felt that I had not formed a stable personality, which showed that people and things around me could easily affect my judgment and attitude towards a problem, and it was difficult to form a firm decision that no one could change. I am not stubborn, and I lack the quality of perseverance. Under the guidance of friends, it is quite effective to face up to this serious problem, correct it actively, and find the attitude of three views that suits you.
20xx 65438+ 10 I took the MBTI personality test. Psytopic analysis shows that my personality type is "ESFP" (extroversion+true feeling+emotion+perception): I put my relationship with others in a very important position, and my interpersonal relationship is harmonious; Careful, able to observe the needs of others in daily life and try to help; It is often the active and cooperative members of the Committee or organization who support the existing system; Seeking truth from facts and advancing in an orderly manner; I often admire myself and my achievements very much. I hope that I and my actions can be recognized and appreciated by others, and I am open to criticism or indifference from others. I think this pros and cons analysis is roughly consistent with my current situation.
I stumbled through the four-year undergraduate course of photoelectric major, and after carefully analyzing my interest advantages, I decided to cross the examination of finance, and now I am a first-year graduate student in finance. It's almost three months since the start of school, and friends often ask me through WeChat messages, "Do you feel comfortable starting from scratch?" I said, it's okay, don't worry. In fact, although I started late and have a lot of things to do, I am very happy because I work hard on what I choose and like. Yan Jie shared an article on the class blog before, which explained the significance of hard work: life is a process of gradual accumulation, it doesn't matter who runs fast and who runs far, what's more, more often, we are trying to give ourselves an explanation. Pushing open the door of the financial industry, I have come into contact with many aspects that are unfamiliar to me but closely related to the real world. This is in line with my original intention of changing my major, which makes me very excited and strengthens my determination to take root here.
Second, career orientation.
I've been thinking about my career orientation and direction for a long time. Although it is a bit of an armchair strategist, several basic points are certain: first, I will fully reflect the composite knowledge background of photoelectricity and finance in my future work; Second, doing technical work is not social or simple repetition.
Since the beginning of school, I have listened to a lot of experience sharing lectures about foreign companies, state-owned enterprises, banks and securities companies, but most of them are fleeting, and I can't weigh one, two or three. However, a few weeks ago, the teacher of a financial institution invited one of her students back to give us a class, which left a deep impression on me: this is a female fund manager in her early thirties, and now she works for CDH Investment. Her words are sincere and simple. She shared her research experience with us in two hours, and introduced the cases of Suning, JD.COM, Li Ning, Maotai and other industries, as well as her understanding of the valuation and investment of listed companies. I yearn for this type of work, and I want to be such a person.
At present, I know several channels to enter the financial industry: Public Offering of Fund, brokers, investment banks, research institutes, asset management departments of insurance companies, bank funds departments and private placements. As far as my own conditions are concerned, the most suitable thing is to do industry research. Research needs considerable technical content, which is useful in securities firms, funds, state-owned enterprises and research institutions. Moreover, the repetitive work on the capital market business line is basically not high, because the market is changing every day and the economy is changing, which is also one of the charms of the financial industry. Now I am not obsessed with what kind of platform to seek, but what kind of work to do. Find the career direction you are interested in, and the next task is how to work hard in this direction.
Teacher Wang's three-time cultivation and the thickness of his background determine the height of his career, telling me to stick to the green hills and not be afraid of burning without firewood. So what I want to do in the short term is:
1. Cherish school study time, lay a solid foundation, improve financial professionalism, actively reserve financial legal knowledge, and fully understand the capital market.
2. Cherish your time in Hejun, take every big class, lecture and training seriously, and read a lot, so as to approach the goal of Hejun's "100 economic management books+100 business cases +300 prospectuses".
3. Create and cherish internship opportunities, learn as much as possible about what this industry is like, understand experiences and deepen understanding.
Every day is full, happy and meaningful. In the process of approaching the ideal, it is also a blessing if you can be proactive, overcome inertia and get a better self. After laying a solid foundation, what needs to be done is to show a true and powerful self when the opportunity comes.
After employment, start as a researcher. Even if I can't get into a brokerage firm or a fund, I will enter other aspects of the financial field, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a research institution. I will enter the capital market first, be familiar with the operation of the capital market, and find my more accurate positioning and career direction while doing my job well.
Third, the further future.
In the long run, I am deeply impressed by Hejun's business model of "investment banking+management consulting". For more than half a year, I have learned so many original business cases of Hejun, and have a certain understanding of the growth of the enterprise. In addition, I also learned about the development potential and civil and military value of laser instruments in medicine, irradiation and other fields. I am eager to make efforts to develop the photoelectric medicine industry in China through my own efforts.
When I reach the age when my mental energy can't support my work in the financial field, I hope to have the opportunity to return to school and stand on the podium. Spend more time with the children at school, listen to their stories and tell them about the capital market and the bigger world in my eyes. The hope of the country is only my youth.
I hope that my future self is a person who spreads positive energy, exerts social value and gives back to more people. This society has a strong commercial atmosphere, so I often tell myself not to forget gratitude, truth, goodness and beauty, love and cherish the people around me. After that, I will actively look for opportunities to volunteer, or help poor children finish their studies, or contribute to Hope Primary School. I believe that education is fundamental and knowledge changes fate.
Four. conclusion
I hope that when I recall the past, I won't regret wasting my time, and I won't be ashamed of my mediocrity, so what I have to do now is to keep my enthusiasm and grow up step by step.
