I work in the Securities division of Goldman Sachs, in equity sales, covering Hong Kong and China. My clients are institutional investors for mutual funds in China and hedge funds in Hong Kong. We provide research ideas to our clients and help with our IPOs in HK & A share markets. My greatest responsibility is managing the client relationship.
I think the firm gives opportunities to people who are ready. As a third year analyst, I now have my own clients in Beijing and Shanghai. I have also been given the opportunity to speak with experienced people in the industry on a daily basis.
The most interesting aspect of this job for me is that we’re encouraged to learn as much as we can about other industries. In other jobs, people tend to understand their own industry but are not familiar with other industries. This job provides me with the opportunity to do research on all industries in our sector. It is a job where you can learn new things every day.
