At the same time, just as Phil Knight called his secretary and asked him to find a relationship to contact John, Eve Hugo walked into the IB store with his friend and classmate Tammy on Fifth Avenue in New York.

The two of them had just graduated from school, so they came to IB to buy a mobile phone in order to find a job.

"Tammy, have you figured out where to apply?"

Walking into the self-operated store, Eve Hugo casually asked about work.

"Of course! I've typed out more than a dozen resumes and decided to try out the top 10 investment banks in New York, but I'm aiming for Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, or Citibank. I'm going to be the best D on Wall Street. ”

With a master's degree in financial engineering from Princeton University, Tammy is naturally entitled to pride.

However, she ignored the outrageously low acceptance rates of these three banks, which post analyst and other positions every summer, but the acceptance rate is only a pitiful 2, and it is more difficult to work in these three companies than to go to Harvard.

"What about you, Eve, where are you going?"

After some rhetoric, Tammy asked about Eve Hugo.

Eve Hugo frowned slightly: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"What's there to think about, isn't it just for us to study financial engineering to get into the investment bank and get a million annual salary? Don't think about it, let's go with me! When the time comes, let's dominate Wall Street together." ”

"Uh...... Let me think. Eve Hugo smiled slightly, then saw the sion 1 on the table, picked it up and looked at Tammy and said: "This phone is good, small and cute, much better than Motorola." ”

"Well, I think so too. Tammy was instantly drawn to his phone and forgot about his work.

The salesman on the side saw that the two were interested, and immediately stepped forward to introduce them.

In the end, Eve Hugo and Tammy ordered a sion 1 with a fast battery and charger, which made the salesman very happy, and the $26 payout was in hand.

After buying a mobile phone, the two broke up, Eve Hugo took a taxi back home, her parents were on duty in the hospital today, she was alone at home at night, and after getting something to eat from the refrigerator, she turned on the TV and watched "Friends", usually she likes to watch this TV series the most, but today she can't watch it, after turning off the TV casually, she sat on the sofa alone and thought quietly.

Her mind is in turmoil right now, to be precise, because of work. Originally, a person like her who graduated from a major was destined to go to Wall Street to make waves as Tammy said, and what did she think before, she went to a top investment bank after graduation, got a million annual salary, and became the enviable D.

However, a job posting shook her life that she had already planned.

Three days ago, she went to Hollywood to play, and happened to see a job posting at New Line, and the enchantress director John Chris Deng was looking for an assistant director and personal assistant.

As a fan of John, Eve Hugo was naturally interested in this job posting, and thought about giving it a try, but reason told her that she should go to an investment bank as an analyst instead of being a personal assistant. And so she became conflicted.

"To go or not?"

Eve Hugo sat on the sofa and struggled, she has long passed the age of chasing stars, although she likes John's movies, but she is not going to give up a good future for a star, to be a personal assistant to John, she thinks more about interests.

If you are lucky enough to enter the investment bank, you must first start as an analyst, outsiders look tall, but in fact it is just a hard work, overtime and staying up late is normalization, it is natural to be called to be a cow and a horse, if you can persist for three years, congratulations on becoming an assistant analyst, life is slightly better, but you still have to work overtime, you have to be called around. If you perform well during this period, you will be able to become a VP in four or five years, enter the middle level, and be qualified to deal with customers. At this stage, if you can bring value to the company and are the person who generates the most revenue for the company among the many VPs, you will be able to become an SVP in four or five years, which is considered a high-level one. SVP is further D, quasi-boss-level person, this is the highest position that ordinary people can get, if you want to become D, not only must you have strong work ability, but also be able to pull a big order for the company, how big is the order?

So it takes at least 15 to 20 years to go from an average analyst to D, and only if you're good enough.

How good is it?

The more top-ranked investment banks, the more demons there are, Harvard, Yale, MIT, Princeton, these Ivy League graduates abound, and if you want to fight your way out of this group of people to become D, how difficult it is to make up for it yourself.

As for the partners or CEOs and presidents above D, these positions are not available to ordinary people.

Therefore, if you want to thrive in the investment bank and become a D, you must not only have the ability, but also have the performance, and the ability can ensure that you are not fired, but if you want to be promoted, you must look at your performance.

Where does the performance come from? Naturally, it is in the hands of customers, and where does it come from? Naturally, it is slowly accumulated.

So Eve Hugo wanted to be John's personal assistant.

Who is John, a super-first-line director in Hollywood, and the people who have business dealings with him are Hollywood upper-class figures, or various film and television companies.

Therefore, becoming John's personal assistant is equivalent to getting a ticket to the top power in Hollywood, and these resources can become a stepping stone for Eve Hugo and a ladder on the road to promotion.

As long as she has these resources, she can choose the investment bank, not the investment bank chooses her, and she does not have to start from the most basic analyst, the lowest is also an assistant analyst, and the starting point is higher than others.

However, there are also risks, no director dares to guarantee that a film will be released every year, and many directors have not even had a work for three or four years, so if he becomes John's assistant, John will not start work for two or three years, which will be embarrassing, and if he does not start work without business dealings, he will not be able to accumulate network resources, which is where Eve Hugo worries, afraid of wasting two or three years of time in vain.

So it's a bet, winning, becoming D is not a dream, losing, then you have to start all over again.

However, Eve Hugo is also a ruthless person, thinking for a long time, entangled for a long time, and finally decided to gamble, losing a big deal to start from scratch, when the time comes to go to the investment bank to start as an analyst, she is still young and can afford to lose.

Deciding to work as an assistant for John, Eve Hugo also let go of the entanglement in her heart, and when her parents came home from work the next day, she told them about this idea.

Her parents were very open-minded and did not interfere with her decision, but just told her to take good care of herself, come back more often during the holidays, and then take out a bank card with $150,000 in it and hand it to her, let her buy a few clothes, and then buy a car to get around.

Seeing that her parents did not object, Eve Hugo was very simple, and after staying at home for three days, she flew to Hollywood with her luggage, and after staying overnight in a hotel near the New Line Company in Hollywood, she walked into the New Line Company with her resume early the next morning.
