Q: My husband recently graduated from the University of Chicago with an M.B.A. He originally planned to move into a research or analysis role in investment banking or private equity. He is currently in compliance for a major investment bank, which he finds extremely dull. When he started the part-time M.B.A. program three years ago, there were more jobs than the school could fill. But now, every job he would want demands several years of previous experience in investment banking.


问:我丈夫刚从芝加哥大学(University of Chicago)毕业并获得MBA学位。他原本打算在投资银行或私募股权公司做研究或分析工作。目前他正在一家大型投资银行从事合规工作,他觉得极其无聊。三年前他刚开始兼读MBA课程的时候,就业岗位供不应求。而现在,他希望做的每个工作都需要在投资银行有几年工作经验。



How can he communicate the skills he has beyond what he's done in his job? Would an internship next summer be a good option? Is there a point at which his degree will be so old it no longer counts at all?


他怎样才能说明他具备超出合规工作的技能呢?明年夏天去实习怎么样?会不会是他的学位时间过时了,现在已经没有含金量了呢?



A: It is a tough finance market right now
