揭开IBD工作的神秘面纱

外资投行IBD的实习通常为10周，第1周为培训，后9周为正式实习。10周的实习强度非常大，平均每人要同时处理3个以上的项目，无论对体力还是脑力都是极大的挑战。

10周结束之后，公司会发返聘录取（return offer），邀请部分实习生在毕业之后加入公司。由于各家投行会交换简历，所以在实习的时候也可能会收到invitation for inter-bank event，又称之为“挖墙脚活动”。这些活动最重要的目的是留下你的联系方式，对方投行会在10周的实习结束前邀请你面试，而面试结果的宣布时间与返聘录取的宣布时间相近。

努力工作

能够拿到投行暑期实习的人除了比智力、还要比谁更能吃苦。努力工作是个人进取心和好学精神的体现，若是有空闲的时候就主动去要活做，让自己时刻都处于高度忙碌的状态。注意，千万不要盲目要活儿、搞得自己无法负荷，因为与“量”相比，“质”更重要，追求“量”的前提是不牺牲“质”。

学习要快

这是投行最看重的品质之一，因为投行是一个极端快节奏的行业，你的老板们可没有时间等你慢慢地做事情。学习新事物一直非常快，很占优势，可以比别人省下时间去学习更多的事情。

学会换位思考

举例说明：投行里面最底层的是分析员，高一级的是业务经理（associate）。分析员需要与大量的数字打交道，例如从公司年报中摘取各类数据等放入演讲中，而业务经理的职责就是要确保这些数字的正确性，以及是否与数据源相同，他们的做法通常是重新来一遍你查找数据的过程。如果你设身处地的为你的上级着想，你就会想要节约他们的时间、让他们查数字的过程变得简单容易。例如在年报里找到一个数字，把这一页年报打印出来，用荧光笔标注出那个数字，最后把所有的页装订在一起、连同自己所做的内容一同交给业务经理，这样他只需要翻一遍打印件就可以查数字了，大大节约了他的时间。

与上级保持沟通

努力工作是一件事，但是上级是否知道你的努力则是另一件事。换言之，切忌闷头苦干，要经常与你的上级交流，让他们看到你的勤奋和上进。

就算是你要去休息了也要让上级知道，不然他们会因为找不到你做事情而大发雷霆。如果某一天晚上确实把手头的工作都做完了，就会发邮件给上级，问是否还需要协助的项目（is there anything else I can help with?）（注意措辞，千万别傻乎乎地写can I go to sleep…）

为了让同学们更好的了解在IBD实习的日常工作，小编从Bloomberg为大家摘取了IBD Intern的日程。

 

A Day in the Life of Investment Banking Intern

7:45 a.m. I shower, shave, and make myself presentable for another day on the job.

8 a.m. I turn on SportsCenter and hope to catch some basketball highlights from the Chicago Bulls. I read a few daily news e-mails on the Blackberry and forward a couple of articles of interest to my director.

8:30 a.m. On the subway ride into the office, I listen to the Pardon the Interruption podcast and flip through more news.

8:50 a.m. Sitting down at my desk, I write down my to-dos for the day:
1) Review drafted [mergers and acquisitions] discussion materials with my managing director.
2) Review valuation materials for transaction.
3) Send requested materials to Europe team.
4) Discuss.

9 a.m. Conference call to discuss [initial public offering] roadshow presentation.

9:30 a.m. Go to the cafeteria and grab oatmeal and much needed coffee.

10 a.m. I sit down with my director and an analyst to review valuation materials for a live transaction.

11 a.m. I review comments with the analyst and attempt to split the work. We realize that neither of us will be able to get to it until at least 4 p.m.

11:30 a.m. I begin thinking about lunch. I wait in front of my managing director’s office for an opportunity to review materials for an M&A pitch later this week.

11:40 a.m. Managing director hangs up the phone and the window is open; analyst and I swoop in and seize the opportunity to review our materials. We receive comments, review what materials need to be created, and decide what can be leveraged from existing materials.

12:45 p.m. Grab lunch. As is the case almost 100 percent of the time when it is under my own control, the decision is to leave the building. I head out with some guys from the team and grab a sandwich nearby.

1:30 p.m. After eating at my desk—and reading some ESPN.com—it’s time to make headway on my to-dos. Most important: Finish the roadshow edits.

2:30 p.m. I send revised roadshow to the client and start reviewing the valuation materials. Time to spread our M&A comps and make sure our trading comps are up-to-date. Analyst is working on the discounted cash flow and refining assumptions.

5 p.m. Send revised M&A valuation materials to my director. I then check in with another analyst on the materials for our upcoming pitch.

6:30 p.m. We order dinner—the eternal dilemma of health vs. happiness. The office vegetarians make it easier to lean towards health but detract from dinner happiness.

7:30 p.m. After finishing dinner, I receive comments from my managing director on the M&A materials.

11 p.m. I finish a draft of M&A materials and have analyst send it out. I then jump in cab to head home, responding to a few e-mails on the way.

11:45 p.m. I catch up on some Game of Thrones, answer more e-mails, refresh some slides, and send them out.
