Where is the core competitiveness of employees in the financial industry?

As a financial practitioner, when I meditate in the morning, one question I often think about is: What is your core competitiveness? Let's talk about my opinion. Abandoning cliche answers, such as leadership, logical analysis, communication and expression, and ability to work under pressure, is like sitting in a company meeting room and facing the interviewer's answer. First of all, I think the core competitiveness of a financial practitioner includes two aspects: hard skills and soft skills. Many people are emphasizing the importance of soft skills. In fact, hard skills, that is, your professional knowledge in the financial field, are also very important. Campus job fairs ask a lot of professional knowledge, and social job fairs ask more.

Through years of work experience, you will accumulate some contacts, and the meaning of contacts is that you can become a node of social network, connect other nodes that were not connected originally, optimize the allocation of resources to the right place, and collect intermediate business income in the middle. Matchmaking is an important ability, which can not be obtained through book learning, so it is one of the core competitiveness. The second is the ability to develop knowledge to the extreme. Studying finance in university, from undergraduate to master, will learn a lot of professional knowledge. Most of this knowledge is large and comprehensive. You don't know what is the most useful and critical knowledge. At work, if you are lucky, you will find an area that you love and are good at. What you need to do is to maximize your professional knowledge in a certain field. Remember, it must be developed to the extreme. There is no other way, you are a big bull in the industry.
