The job of an investment analyst in a banking firm such as Goldman Sach and JPMorgan is to oversee whether or not an investment made by customers will bear fruits, but in order to do so, one must be skillful either in accounting or finance. A clear understanding in one of those majors is necessary because an investment banking analyst will be dealing with a bunch of financial research in stock and bond market and also in companies. Thus, providing information for the customers to help their decision on investments. Even though it is a tough job that requires professionalism and a lot of diverse skills, it is a job that is worth it since it has high payments and it provide a lot of benefits. In other words, investment banking analyst is highly challenging, yet with the correct attitude, education, and dedication, it is not impossible to be successful in it.

When I was given the choice to any job that I want to do or research I choose a financial advisor. The reason that I choose a financial advisor is because it has always interested me. The reason that it interested me was because my dad has been a financial advisor for most of his life. This means I have a little better understanding of the job than the person next to me. From what I have heard from my dad it really makes me want to go into this same career. From the information that I know I like the job but, that’s why I did this research to learn more and see if the job would fit me as a person. I hope to find a job that will let me interact with people and not keep me at a desk all day.
I really don’t know to much about this career just that they can either deal with selling securities or managing personal finances or just as simple doing taxes and writing financial reports. What haunts me even more is what I don’t know about this career. Are there any aspects of it that I will just hate? Will I make enough money to support the life style I want? What are the future possibilities for career advancement? These are all questions that will weigh very heavily on my decision to become a financial advisor or to find some new career.

I would like to build my career in banking industry. In this era of up-and-coming technologies I think IT will play major role in my business. Implementing Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), my employees will value the process of high performance by getting knowledge of IT, customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM) and the essential of maintaining good relationships with my customers. First and foremost, SOA can help to cut the IT controls and allows banks to be a joint venture with other banks and with their customers more effectively. SOA helps to solve the business problems, to enlarge multi channels, to build human skills, and make the bank transactions faster and easier. SOA helps to keep up profitability, updating with agility and to keep away from unnecessary risks. ERP supports SOA to run the business smoothly. Banks have to keep daily accounting. With the help of ERP, IT department is able to keep correct accounting and financial data. Consequently, ERP helps to improve the customer service quality which improves customer relationship manager (CRM) and to understand customer requirements. Furthermore, customer feedback database will help my employees to give better service with standard quality.
