<p>there seems to be several jobs that are “hot” right now, like everyone wants to do them, i dont know, maybe investment banking and management and finance are some of them… whats the job security and outlook for them, as in 20-30 years from now? are there any “hot” jobs right now that may not necessarily be so hot in the future… kinda like the dotcom entrepreneur job that everyone wanted in the 90s</p>
<p>As long as corporations/govt/people need cash, there will always be investment banking. Think of it this way…Rothschild has been here from 1769 i believe. As the economy grows, business will continue to grow and thus results in consolidation. I dont think you have to worry about banking careers leaving anytime soon.</p>
<p>There is a tremendous need for talented people who can run non profits.</p>
<p>how much do ppl who run non-profits generally get paid? any other benefits?</p>
<p>Investment bankers (or at least, the people who possess those quantitative financial skills) will be needed as long as there are huge companies in business. It’s not a job that really changes with time–the basic duties have been the same for the last 50 years. As for security–if you’re good and can survive the first 5 years, don’t worry.</p>

<p>Heh heh, that’s a pretty big ‘if’. The reality is that only a small minority of people who enter I-banking as first-year associates are still there after 5 years. It’s a brutal, up-or-out system, where you’re either getting promoted up the chain, or you’ll be asked to leave. You’re not allowed to just ‘hang around’ for years on end staying at the same level.</p>
<p>how do they evaluate you, sakky?</p>
<p>I-banking has been “hot” for 25 years. The number of new hires depends on the needs of employers, not on the desires of job applicants.</p>
<p>How much money do people make working for non-profits? Precious little compared to their peers in the private sector.</p>
<p>Nobody takes a job with a non-profit for the money.</p>
