首先，vickey金子做到今天这一步，是自己的努力。我虽不认识他，但是，我想说，通过自己的努力，到这一步不容易。我相信他说的是真的。来rolia 恭喜自己一下，未尝不可。也可以给别人一个希望，一个启发。

那，谁是investment banker?
广义上来说，所有的capital markets bankers都叫自己投行家。这包括front office, (corporate finance, M&A, Equity Capital Markets, Debt Capital Markets) or mid office (equity research, bond research, risk management, credit transaction management etc) and back office, (transaction clearing departments, IT, coding, etc)

狭义上来说，只有front office bankers are the true 投行家。像corporate finance, M&A, Equity Capital Markets and Debt Capital Markets bankers are all involved in origination, structuring and syndication of debt and equity deals. These bankers acts as advisors in helping clients raising capitals in the form or equity, debt and loans.

据我所知，中国人大多数在投行的mid and back office. 很少有中国人在front office. (在下不才，是少数的front office中的一员）。

欢迎砖头。
