Chapter Seventy-Six: Matching the Seniority of the Eldest Lady

"No, I was actually a Lehman Brothers before I went to Barclays Capital NY.
The Lehman Brothers went bankrupt during the subprime mortgage crisis and were taken over by the Barclays.
Normally, the IT and data analysis departments of U.S. investment banks are basically not too busy.
If you don't meet a particularly diligent supervisor, you should be able to commute to and from work on time.
At most, on weekends, I occasionally process some data that needs to be followed up temporarily.
In short, my current position should be one of very few overtime hours, and the job stability is also very high.
The kind of investment banker you want to deal with beautiful women every day is not a category at all. Qi also responded to Yan Yun's concern in great detail.
"With such a casual job, there is a six-figure salary, or do you just graduate from college and have no work experience?" Yan Yun felt that the salary level that Qi Yi had mentioned to her before was a bit exaggerated for a fresh undergraduate graduate.
"Well, everyone who goes to Barclays' investment banking technology department should have at least a six-figure salary level. There is no project commission for these positions. Qi Yi felt that Yan Yun's words just now were a bit exaggerated.
"Didn't you get Signing Bouns, which isn't for everyone? There was no deliberate exaggeration in Yan Yun's words just now. (Note 1)
"It's not too clear, but I'm definitely not the only one who got it. Qi Yi replied.
"With such a good salary and no overtime, why did you say before that you still want to be an investment manager in the future? Don't you think your current job is good enough?" Yan Yun was curious.
"Originally, I thought it was fine, but after I found you in Melbourne, I found that it still didn't work. Qi Yi replied.
"Huh, your work is still related to me?" Yan Yun's curiosity continued unabated.
"There must be.
When I was in high school, I always thought that I had found myself a thrifty little jasper girlfriend.
As a result, accidentally, he was actually abducted back to a lady. Qi Yi didn't hide it.
"Uh, everyone's lady, do you say me? Why do I sound a little cautious? If I'm really everyone's lady, shouldn't you think that you can fight for a few years less because of this?" Yan Yun teased.
"If you can struggle on your own, why do you have to rely on your girlfriend? Girlfriends are for love, not for dependence. Qi also expressed his views very directly.
"You...... Do you really mind about your family background?" Yan Yun asked a little hesitantly.
Yan Yun was actually a little scared, she hadn't thought it through yet, and she didn't know if she should discuss family issues with Qi Yi at this time, especially after her mother specially reminded her before.
"Of course. Qi Yi gave his answer directly without thinking about it.
After listening to Qi Yi's answer, Yan Yun began to feel a little depressed in his heart.
"Our family opened a factory, and my parents sold the factory two months ago......," Yan Yun continued to hesitate to talk about his home.
"Look at what scares you, don't worry, I won't dislike you just because your family is good. Qi Yi was a little amusedly relieved.
"Why does this sound so awkward?" Yan Yun felt that he shouldn't have asked Qi Yijie about his family background just now.
"What's awkward?" Qi was a little puzzled.
"I can't say it, it's awkward anyway. Yan Yun himself didn't understand.
"Others may be a little awkward when they hear it, you are originally the eldest lady, it shouldn't be. Qi Yi felt that Yan Yun's reaction just now was a little strange.
"I actually know too well what you really mean?" Yan Yun didn't know.
"Frankly speaking, it's normal for a guy to mind people saying that he relies on his girlfriend's house.
Of course, there will be those who just said that they want to fight for a few less years.
Whatever other people think, from my personal point of view, I do mind. Qi Yi was very honest and said what he was thinking.
"That's ......" Yan Yun didn't know what to say more, it seemed that her mother was still prescient.
"Why are you stumbling in your speech?
Rest assured, I'm not the same as most people mind.
For me, the thing that I mind the most is that finding a big lady means that I have to work alone in the United States for a few more years.
You have to work hard to make yourself have the qualifications that can match the eldest lady as soon as possible.
If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be in the United States.
I went to Melbourne early to look for a job, and by the way, I went to school with you. Qi Yi didn't think that after graduation, he went directly to Australia to find a job to accompany Yan Yun to study.
After listening to Qi Yi's words, Yan Yun was silent on the other end of the phone for a while.
The biggest difference between Qi Yi now and high school should be the maturity of his mentality.
"Qi Yi, thank you for being so open and honest with me, I used to think that you were very naïve in your heart, but in the past few years in the United States, you seem to have changed a lot. Yan Yun felt a little surprised.
"Why are you thanking me, are you afraid that I will scare away as soon as I hear that your family is rich?" Qi Yi asked with a smile.
"No, my mom said that if a boy cares a lot about his family, it will be tiring to get along with. I didn't expect that I would suddenly talk to you about this sensitive topic on the phone. Yan Yun also spoke his thoughts openly and honestly.
"What's all of a sudden?
I asked you when I first wrote to you.
It's just that you didn't answer me.
When I was in Melbourne, you asked me if I would give up UBS and Barclays.
I already realized at that time that I had found a big lady.
This is one of the most important reasons why I can't give up my investment banking job.
I'm going to have to fight for a few years first. Qi Yi didn't feel that he had anything to hide from his thoughts.
"Qi Yi, isn't your reaction a little different, no one else has acted like this on TV. A big stone in Yan Yun's heart finally landed.

【Little Ink Classroom】
Today I'm going to talk about Signing Bonus.
By the way, the difference between the two most commonly used words about salary, salary and age.
In the United States, many big companies, in order to attract talent, often open a Signing Bonus to newly recruited employees.
For recent college graduates, this money can be used to rent a house or start a new life.
If you already have work experience, are poached by headhunters, and get a signing reward, there may be more.
Why do foreign big companies have such a policy?
Most of this is out of humane considerations and not starving to death.
Most foreigners don't have any concept of saving money, and most of them are moonshine people.
In the place where Salary (monthly salary system, as in China, once a month), "moonlight" is actually quite good.
There are also many places, such as Melbourne, where it is age (weekly salary system, paid once a week), and "moonlight" is upgraded to "starlight".
The weekly pay is usually paid on Wednesdays.
Paying salaries is a major event that "celebrates all over the world".
Melbourne's malls, which used to close at five or six o'clock every day, began to close until nine o'clock in the evening on Thursday because their compatriots had money.
Pay your salary on Wednesday and go out for a big dinner in the evening.
After work on Thursday, the mall is rare and has not yet closed, so you have to go and see it.
Since I still have to go to work on Friday, I will be a little more restrained, go shopping, and try not to do too many other tricks.
On Fridays, big weekends, you can let go of the waves at night.
After work, go out to eat and watch a movie, or go to the bowling alley, which is decorated like a nightclub, and play billiards and bowling.
At eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening, the real nightclub finally opened its doors to welcome customers, and the queue went in to continue the waves, one wave until four or five o'clock on Saturday morning.
When I got home, I slept with him in the dark, got up in the evening, and continued to eat and drink.
Then, on Sunday, AGE was basically almost spent, and it could only be miserable for three days.
Finally, I waited until the next Wednesday, and I had money again, and I could start squandering again.
The real "cycle" repeats.
Under this concept of life, if you change jobs, you can't open the pot, and if you change cities, people who need to "sleep on the streets" abound.
There is no way to live without a Signing Bonus really, really, really.
Therefore, the issuance of contract incentives is a particularly humane policy for many large companies.
