多的找不过来?? efinancial oxbridge上的人抱怨的不少，UK认识的几个名校的人似乎也都对今年形式不看好。 看来这位能力是的确过人了，UK的留学生似乎没几个说工作好找的，哪怕是形式好点的时候，因为那里的确竞争激烈
这位不知道在荷兰做过金融没有，如果是分析荷兰金融市场的，这里根本不可能招不说荷兰语的，但是荷兰的2个国际银行ING + ABNAMRO 总部都在这里，做的可是全球市场，graduate trainee 也给国际生位置的，而且就算是荷兰的公司，分析报告也都是英
文的。 就算是几家比较偏重荷比利卢市场的银行，里面几乎也通用英文，因为上市公司面对全球投资者。
再说 bank 分析equity market 从来不是看短期，都是中长期市场，一般的分析报告都是2-3个月一份，除非是突然出现重大问题，否则短期内股票波动不会影响股票评级。，我不知道你说的几百条业务信息是指什么，难道是指做trader ? 不过bank 的 trader一般也不至于要阅读这么多，因为也是中长期的position居多。 只有trading house的trader需要对股价的瞬间波动做出反应，但也一般不是基于什么股市消息，而是根据单纯的数据变化。
当然是做TRADING才有发展前途了,研究数据变化虽然说好象有点道理,但15天前的金,银价就绝对不是单纯的变化了,而且从去年4月开始的CRUNCH也不会通过EXCHANGE到3月才表现出来了.
不要只瞄准大BANK,UK光LONDON金融机构就6000多家了,你认为米价涨了,会有多少人去吃馒头呢,对于UK这种以FINANCE为生的地方,今天报纸头条就讨论GBP对EUR的叠幅,所谓金融深入人心.说荷兰出名的,FORTIS,ING,应该就没有排的上的了,UK的话BARCLAYS,HSBC,TSB,RBS,HALIFAXHBOS,ABN,Standard Chartered,还不包括美国的CITI,BANK OF AMERICA, JP MORGAN, 美林,LB等等等等. 而且金融的HEADHUNTER也起码有500家以上,本人不才,投了30家就有一家问我有个FULL TIME的工作现在缺人,要不要干.说竞争是说和本地人的竞争吧.认识个TRADER,几年前刚进去,做ANALYST,上来头一句就被管他的人骂,让他不要问东问西,没人有空理他,基本教一次必须学会.
要想找工作,面试表现时说到点子上,不要空谈,是最有用的
就算你说ENGLISH,我来贴一条,我只贴了一小段,你要多少时间看完
London shares cut losses by the close; banks down; Wall Street higher
At the close, the FTSE 100 index was down 18.8 points at 5,965.1, compared with the session low of 5,881.9, down 102. It was the third-straight decline for the blue-chip index. The FTSE 250 index fell 58.8 points to 10,013.0.
David Jones, chief market strategist, IG Index, said: "Arguably hopes are still high that the next UK rate cut will be happening sooner rather than later and that the Bank of England will start to focus more on trying to stimulate growth rather than capping inflation."
He added: "Recently the 6,000 level (for the FTSE 100) has proved to be a problem but the recovery over the last couple of hours would suggest that the bulls are not beaten just yet."
In the US, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. led retailers higher, and labour data was better than forecasts. As the London markets were closing, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 79.6 at 12,606.8, with the S&P 500 up 8.4 at 1,362.9 and the Nasdaq Composite Index 32.88 higher at 2,355.
While many retailers -- from Gap Inc. to Saks Inc. -- said Thursday that March sales slid as consumers grew more frugal, Wall Street was encouraged by other companies that are weathering the economic weakness.
Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, raised its profit forecast for the first quarter, saying costs are being well managed and April sales should beat prior expectations. Wal-Mart now expects earnings of 74 cents to 76 cents per share for the three months ending April 30, up from 70 cents to 74 cents per share predicted earlier. Wal-Mart also said that March sales at its Asda supermarket chain in the United Kingdom were "ahead of plan".
In other economics data, although the U.S. Labor Department said the four-week average of initial unemployment claims rose last week to a two-and-a-half-year high, investors were pleased to hear that claims last week fell by more than expected following a surge in the previous week.
In London, the Bank of England announced at midday it had cut borrowing costs for the third time in five months, reducing its benchmark Bank Rate a quarter point to 5.00 percent amid ongoing concerns about the U.K. economy in the wake of the credit crisis. The decision comes as no surprise and takes the Bank Rate to its lowest level since January 2007.
The European Central Bank left its key rate unchanged at 4 percent, shrugging off worries about the strength of the euro. Meantime, banking shares dragged the FTSE 100 lower, as rumours circulated that Merrill Lynch has more writedowns to come, and with ING issuing a research note in which it downgraded its 'gloomy' growth forecasts for the UK economy citing the credit crunch.
Alliance & Leicester was the biggest FTSE 100 casualty, closing 30-1/2 pence, or 5.8 percent lower, at 495-1/2. Barclays was down 7-1/4 pence at 463-1/4, with Royal Bank of Scotland off 7 at 362-1/4, and HBOS 10 weaker at 516-1/2.
The mining sector also helped drag the index lower after Wednesday's gains, with BHP Billiton down 46 pence at 1,758, after the group said it was not aware of China proposing the acquisition of a substantial stake in the company. Other miners also declined, with Vedanta Resources caught up in the sector trend, off 52 at 2,280, despite reporting full-year production figures that pleased brokers.
The group said its production for the year to end-March was significantly higher across all metals and iron ore, which several brokers said was in line with expectations while iron ore figures surprised on the upside. But with metals prices, notably gold and copper, rising, most sector players had pared losses by the close. Xstrata closed 32 lower at 3,940, also hit by an ABN Amro downgrade to 'hold' from 'buy', while Antofagasta fell 18 to 768, and Lonmin was 28 weaker at 3,217.
DSG dropped 5-1/2 pence, or 8.5 percent, to 59-1/2, making it the biggest FTSE 250 loser. Blue-chip Kingfisher fell 3.4 to 127.1, Sainsbury fell 10-1/4 to 354 and Marks & Spencer was down 6-1/4 at 367-1/2. The latter was also out of favour after JP Morgan reiterated its 'underweight' stance on the group and cut its price target to 350 pence from 370 on the back of reduced earnings estimates.
Tesco finished 8-1/2 lower at 391-3/4 after its non-executive director Carolyn McCall said she was leaving due to a conflict of interest. She is chief executive at Guardian Media, parent company of the Guardian newspaper, which is being sued by Tesco for libel.
The Asda data from Wal-Mart should have helped the FTSE 100 supermarket operators, but Morrison was the only one to finish higher, up 4-1/2 pence at 277-3/4.
Also on the upside, British Energy Group was a clear winner, up 38 pence at 739-1/2 following reports German utility group RWE has made an indicative all-cash offer of close to 700 pence a share for the group in a deal that could value the U.K.'s nuclear operator at up to 11 billion pounds.
The reports fuelled speculation of a bidding war for the nuclear power provider as both EdF and Centrica have been touted as potential bidders.
Elsewhere, oil and gas shares rose after yet another record high oil price was hit overnight following a surprise fall in crude stocks, which fuelled concerns supply will remain tight for the remainder of the year.
Cairn Energy rose 50 pence to 3,0101. Index heavyweight BP closed 4-1/2 higher at 550 and BG Group was up 13 at 1,249. Crude fell back late Thursday, and Brent for May delivery was recently trading at $107.56 a barrel, down 91 cents.
Eurasian Natural Resources bucked the negative miner trend to take on 74 pence at 1,180, making it the biggest FTSE 100 riser, as investors bought into the Kazakh-based company following weakness Wednesday. The shares were also helped by a sector note from ABN Amro, in which the broker recommended equity picks with exposure to bulk commodities, noting that ENRC has bulk commodities EBITDA exposure nearing 90 percent for 2008.
Kazakhmys, which may merge with ENRC, was up 43 at 1,726. On the second line, food equipment maker Enodis surged 78-1/2 pence, or 51.8 percent, to 230, following news late Wednesday that the group has received an indicative cash takeover proposal from Manitowoc at 260 pence per share.
Also in M&A, Mitchells & Butlers rose 16-1/4 pence to 334-3/4 after the Times reported private equity groups CVC and Blackstone have submitted a joint proposal to acquire 29.9 percent of the pub group. Other pubs groups rose, including JD Wetherspoon, up 21-1/2 at 292-1/4. |
