中學同學 Brian 畢業後就任職獵頭公司,從中環的大型美資行,轉戰到英資集團,新冠疫情前被總公司調派到上海,主理華南地區業務。差不多有一年多沒回港,趁著年尾難得有假期回來探家人,我們也很不容易馬上找個時間相約。今次我們選了 Rosewood 吃個午飯,事務所團隊成員之一,在美資行工作的 Derek,為大家在 Carlyle 訂了個 Private Room,這樣的聚會好像真的一年只有幾回,談談業界行情,關心一下大家近況,也看看明年有什麼版塊值得投資。 Derek 是美資證券行董事總經理,雖然不是事務所成員,但不時會在群組跟大家談談行情,也時常討論起中環有哪間新開的餐廳,銅鑼灣有哪些居酒屋好吃,偶爾也會說起聘請年輕員工的事宜。在外資投行工作的 Lily 是我們團隊僅有的女生,在美國和香港留學,成功從理科專業,轉換跑道成為投資銀行家。除了在事業上取得成功,大家也很注重生活的素質,培養興趣和時常看書為腦袋補充養份。 從他們身上我感受到最深的是,一個人的成功不在於名片上的職稱有多大,戴著的錶有多名貴,還是拿著的手袋是否過十萬,而是舉手投足,說話談吐有沒有涵養,懂得多少與人相處和溝通的技巧,以及對自己的人生和事業是否負責任。 喝著蕃茄凍湯之際,Derek 就提到這幾年,看到不少年輕畢業生頂著名牌大學的證書,拿著一級榮譽的,面試起來只帶著讓人窒息的氣焰,這會讓面試官非常生厭。成績和學歷固然重要,但性格和態度才是重要。遙望著彼岸的國金和現時被新定義為南金融區,不論是外資還是中資行,投行還是私人銀行需要的 Associate 和 Analyst,具備的特質必然是肯學肯捱,願意為公司和工作付出。即使選修的主科不是商業金融,但是依然想加入投行的話,曾經在 Big 4 待過的經驗也是相當有用,趁著在會計和顧問行業發展時,趕緊讀一個 CPA,如果經濟許可的情況下,不妨趁著現時疫情,遙距拿一個一流英美大學的 MBA,兼職和全職也好,讓投行和私人銀行的部門主管看得出願意為轉換跑道付出的努力。Lily 當年就是這麼上進的一個女生,畢業後在跨國企業 MT 工作了兩年,之後去了中文大學讀 MBA,27歲時加入了中型的投行。那些年我偶爾會在午飯時間約她在Citi Towe 地庫午飯,然後到香港公園走走散步,有時也會在周五午夜在公司樓下,一起到蘭桂坊的 Stockton 喝一杯再回家。一個星期一百小時的工時絕非等閒事,看到她現在 IG 發放 ICC 窗外景色的 Stories,心裡倒是挺高興的。 Lily 一路從月薪兩萬八千元,走到今天月入十六萬,還未計花紅,在一定程度上,貫徹和體現了鄭裕彤和家族有關勤力,誠實和義氣的價值觀。我問 Brian,這些是比較傳統的想法和個人見解,當然也是有點偏愛她而讚美的說話,在今時今日的行頭,還重要嗎?他淺嘗一下 Derek 在 Crown Wine Cellars 帶來的紅酒,笑說最多僱主對時下年輕人的批評,正是欠缺了一點勤懇,做事少了一點謹慎,Lily 對此笑而不語。說實話也倒是真的,今時今日即使身居高位,她還是因為客戶上市、融資、發債等,不時留在辦公室到深夜,偶爾我下班後,途經九龍站,並不是約她到 Ozone 喝酒,而是到佐敦買些串燒,加罐 Coke Zero,送到 47F 給她後就回家看 Netflix。 …
