所以如果看看他们的salary range就知道，engineer是远远高于investment banker的，


r u sure? quote statistics to prove ur point, otherwise pls dont wilfully make up fictionary facts that mislead ppl.
i dont think it is true
from what i know, banks pay better salary throughout the world.

i know an American guy from Princeton EE. he told me for his batch only 3 of them went on to grad school, the rest of them all went to work. I thought, wow then it must be top-tier engineering companies like google or Intel so i asked him. guess what he replied? Investment banks. and he explicitly said that banks pay crazy money. and those investment bankers, although a lot of them burn out, they r just filthy rich...


而且principle engineer or lead engineer的年薪可达百万

same goes for top positions in investment banks. so this argument also doesn't hold





我觉得大家还是应该从自己兴趣出发，设立长远目标，不要怕少工资，工作时间长，最重要的是每一天是有意义的，充实的，自己热爱的，特长得到发挥的。Career 毕竟不只是个 job. :D

this part i strongly agree though.

I see your point and i generally agree with what you say
but just as someone has pointed out above, your arguments are really weak.


so those who r going for banking and finance jobs should really ask themselves: what drives me? is it the job itself? or is it the pay cheque that comes with it?

my fyp sup received his bachelor's degree in EE from University of Michigan ten years ago. he told me that he was the only one in his batch still doing engineering, and he himself worked in Credit Suisse for a few months but quit because he didn't like the job. Even some of the phD candidates in Cornell where he received phD degree from dropped out to work in the financial industry.

he said nowadays no one wants to work in engineering because the pay is lousy. when asked what his batchmates are doing now, the reply was "many of them are working in banks".

Mind you, University of Michigan is in the United States.
