夏天也别不穿袜子;
第一天实习要打领结;
工作时不能脱下外套;
永远最后一个下班、提前上班;
主动自掏腰包给“领导”买零食和咖啡。
其中几条槽点满满:
1. Our group dresses very conservatively. Given that it is summer, no socks is accepted and, in fact, encouraged. (Men:On your first day at the desk, it is customary to wear a bowtie and/orsuspenders).
2. Remember: this is a summer internship for a full-time offer. It won't be easy. If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
3. We expect you to be the last ones to leave every night…no matter what. That's what good summer analysts do. (Also getting in earlier than me would be a power move--You should enjoy your casual 9:15AM PT arrival time this Friday, but I wouldn't get used to it).
4. Never take your jacket off at work.This is investment banking, ladies and gentlemen. Other groups may be more liberal when it comes to summer dress code, unfortunately we're not.
5. You will be assigned junior"mentors". It is much appreciated if you would bring breakfast in for your respective"mentor". Some people are more particular about this than others.
在投行初入职的analyst和associate心里,
这些明文提到的让人不舒服的“潜规则”其实是真实存在并且真正有效的游戏法则。如果你想成为full time,这些秘而不宣的“规定”,是实习生们必须遵守的。
相比之下,MBB实习生们似乎没这么多隐性规定,不过他们的工作也并不轻松。想要更快融入工作,就必须让自己快速学习。
曾在麦肯锡实习的知乎作者@为轩 Welson表示:
一般企业员工入职后都有适应期,相对会给新人一些犯错和学习的机会。
然而,根据在麦肯锡的切身体会,报到的第一天你就是个“资深”顾问,你需要马上就能胜任这个工作的要求,没有任何借口。
记得当年MBA暑期实习的时候,早上我去公司报到领了电脑后就直奔客户那里跟团队汇合,接着项目经理就开始要跟我进行Problem solving(俗称PS),然后给我在纸上花了几个PPT的框架(俗称dummy chart)让我马上做好发给他。当时我心里那个紧张劲儿到现在还记得。说实话,在此之前我只知道往PPT里面打字,从来不知道什么叫画chart……那个时刻,只能后悔自己没有好好学习过PPT和EXCEL,只能周末加班自学速成……
所以,顾问得有强大的自信心和学习能力。即使是新人,在第一天你就被客户称为专家,而你做的大部分项目都是过去不熟悉的行业,
你的学习能力极为关键,因为你在客户面前没有任何借口。
