Actually, for the junior analysts just out of undergrad, we’re talking about closer to USD80-100K all in per year. Nowhere close to USD 1 million. But i know, this is totally different.
Financial industry here used to get bonuses as big as 10 months. But with the stock market moribund and FINIs not interested those bonuses are now as low as one month. And when you’re working 7 am to 9 pm as a research associate…that sucks.
I still remember the 80s/90s when TWSE was booming and foreign funds were desperate to get in on the action via the QFII quotas which never seemed big enough to satisfy demand. What a difference now.
if there is no day off why do shops insist to put up decorations and play christmas music? can they not bother please. its weird that theres just as much or more christmas stuff around than there is new years stuff at chinese new year.
Dude, totally agree. Christmas shouldn’t just be some novelty fun just because they see the Americans doing it while conveniently taking away some of what-they-see as the less fun aspects. We don’t only do this for shits and giggles.
In the boss’s mind? Day off for Christian/Catholic employees for one so that we can see our families and take care of the responsibilities associated with Christmas as well as probably going to church.
