The 2nd interview was tough...Was interviewed by MD of IBD and another Head of Dept, both of whom looked pretty stern and seldom smiled. Maybe they were trying to "scare" me or impress me with the colder side of banking...hehe...
Among the questions the toughest one was the social role played by i-bankers and whether they are adding or destroying values. Not sure if my answers were satisfactory to them, nevertheless it was an interesting debate...
They told me they would notify me in two week. In the meantime, finger crossed...
Wish me luck, friends:) Thanks.
Cheers![CFA (10-13 9:33, Long long ago)]

(引用 frpapaya:What the hell is that question...social role of i-bank!!I believe I-bank is not equal to hedge fund, so it increase value... els...)The qn was originally like this......"What is the social role played by the i-bankers."
The value-adding or value-destroying one later came out during our "debate".[CFA (10-13 10:04, Long long ago)]

(引用 fool:i guess the question is not debatable.for any situation or occupation, one must trust that what he/she is doing can always creat...)Guess they were more interested in how i reasoned and presented an issue, ...... rather than the answer itself.
anyway no one can conclude that i-bankers are always adding value as sometimes they tend to create over-capacity in one sector and, indirectly, under-capacity in another. To some extent, the IT bubble could be attributable to the enthusiams (or shall i say "greed") of i-bankers. [CFA (10-14 14:30, Long long ago)]
