Anyone from Non China/ HK know about CICC? How the banks or ppl from US/ Europe see about CICC? I just got the offer from CICC investment banking and wondering how others compare it with BBs market position? I am more into BBs investment banking so which offer u all think better prepare me for the recruitment of BBs investment banking? Thanks all!

First of all congrats. In general CICC is not well recognized in US/EU and if someone knows about it probably would think that you got the job through nepotism unless your CV is already outstanding
this is how i view it as well^
yep same way. Much better off getting an offer at an EU/American MM or BB/EB.
Thanks guys, thats exactly what I think too. But that is still investment banking role. Would it give me more advantages than a markets role in BBs?
No
Thank you man!
Never heard of it
Most likely you won't be taken seriously with CICC experience in the US/EU
Thank you guysss!!
I bet you go to a decent school/master program if you can get an internship with CICC, and my best advice is to recruit roles in HK. With US, most people will view CICC as a random bank in China and link to nepotism.
Thanks for your advice man. How abt the BBs banks in HK? Would they think CICC also a decent role and easy to step up to BBs investment banking roles?
Yeah HK will
