華爾街告訴你什麼專業最好找工作

Wall Street has undergone a radical face lift, but finance industry recruiters are expected to stick to roughly the same formula when looking to fill entry-level positions with college graduates in the future.

華爾街已經徹底改頭換面了。不過，金融業招聘人士在尋找大學畢業生填補初級職位空缺的時候，預計仍將堅持與以往大致相同的甄選原則。

Wealth management, investment banking and research are expected to see a hiring surge in the coming years, according to Joseph Logan, founder and managing director of Pinnacle Group International.

Pinnacle Group International創始人兼董事總經理約瑟夫·洛根表示，財富管理、投資銀行和研究領域有望在未來幾年掀起招聘熱潮。

"A strong background in accounting plus financial knowledge in uation is the key-and being well-rounded will help a lot,"says David Smith, an associate professor at the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia who specializes in corporate finance and banking.

會計和財務估值方面的過硬背景是應聘成功的關鍵，知識全面也會大有幫助，"弗吉尼亞大學麥金太爾商學院專門從事企業財務和銀行業研究的副教授史密斯表示。

Mr. Smith, who helps prepare students for finance job interviews, advises the students who want to head to Wall Street to eschew finance fads like the current demand in restructuring or credit derivatives which were hot two years ago and focus on becoming fluent in accounting and financial uation fundamentals that are applicable to any specialty. As the economy recovers more traditional financial services functions, such as mergers and acquisitions advisory will make a comeback.

史密斯幫助學生們爲金融職位面試做準備。他向那些希望在華爾街發展的學生們建議說，要避開金融業一時的潮流，比如眼下對兩年前頗爲流行的重組或者信用衍生品方面的人才需求，而將目光集中在像會計和財務估值基本知識這樣適用於所有金融領域的研究。隨着經濟的復甦，那些更爲傳統的金融服務業務比如併購諮詢行業將重新煥發活力。

Since most of the small firms lack the infrastructure to train new hires as intensely as their larger rivals, finance or business majors could be more attractive than an English or history concentration, says Barbara Hewitt, senior associate director of the career services center of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

由於大多數小公司缺少像大公司那樣對新員工進行嚴格培訓的組織結構，金融或商業專業的畢業生可能比英語或歷史專業的畢業生更受青睞，賓夕法尼亞大學沃頓商學院職業服務中心高級副主任休伊特表示。

Students at liberal arts schools that don't offer intensive finance and accounting classes can develop a solid entry-level finance resume by enrolling in basic accounting and macro and micro economic courses. They can also bulk up on the more technical areas of finance by enrolling in summer classes at other institutions.

在沒有金融、會計高級課程的文科院校讀書的學生們通過註冊學習基礎的會計和宏觀、微觀經濟學課程也能擁有一份適合金融業初級職位的簡歷。他們還可以通過報名參加其他學校的夏季課程增強自己對更爲專業的金融學知識的掌握。

Fields like risk management may be gaining traction on Wall Street today in the wake of the financial crisis. Employers have also been posting more positions in risk management these years than before.

在金融危機爆發後，像風險管理這樣的領域或許正在華爾街日漸走紅。今幾年各大公司在風險管理方面的招聘職位也多過往年。
