Investment banking here I come!

However, not to do any of that sexy investment banking and finance stuff... but instead, to do advertising and promotions for the bank.

I rejected the bank's first offer to do private banking as I was not comfortable in a sales position and was not confident of being able to bring in the money and being a top performer as I do not have the necessary networks and contacts. My performance would be compared against people with an existing client base. So since I am not confident of being a top performer, then why take the job? My belief is simple, if you're going to do something, you better aim to be a top performer, or else don't take the job.

So I shared my feelings, and my ambitions to do corporate finance or return to advertising and marketing. Lo and behold, the bank decided to offer me an advertising and promotions position.

i) Small start-up department - easier recognition, easier communications with the top management and more opportunities to take on different projects

ii) Investment bank - comes with the benefits I would be getting at any other bank

iii) Job scope - something that interests me...

So I'm off!

I'm a bit depressed that I'm only hitting 70% for my Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning. I definitely need to push it up to the 85% mark.
