Salaries in VC/Accelerators outside the US
Hi, I am currently a student at European Target School (with EU citizenship). I will probably go to work at MBB as I find it more interesting than IB. However, I'm not sure what to do next.

On a Scale of 1 to 10, how fucked is China & APAC

Glass Ceiling for Internationals?
I recently encountered a puzzling situation, something which I could only compare to the story of the Hebrews in the Bible. It all began when I ran into an old friend and his girlfriend at a restaurant. My friend had always been one of the smartest people I knew, and he had gone to an international...

Following a happy Thanksgiving weekend, the crypto market awoke with grim news. Bitcoin fell in the early hours of the Asian trading day. This slump parallels the drop in Hong Kong and other equities markets as China's protest worsens. Bitcoin fell 3% to $16,000 at 02:00 UTC on Monday, before...
Chinese Equity for a Beginner
Hey Guys, I'm looking at getting into the Chinese equity markets, because frankly, their economic growth rates make me salivate (18.3% in 2020). Since I'm an absolute rookie, I was wondering what people thought of investing in economies like China, and China itself. Also, I found this site very...
Chinese Oil Trading Arms
Does anyone know what the trading arms of Chinese oil companies (CNPC, CNOOC, Shaanxi Yanchang, Sinochem, ect.) are like compared to the majors or trading houses. Curious since the last chapter of The World For Sale mentioned that they take on more risk and trade with US sanctioned countries.
An 18 year old chimp(haha) extremely interested in finance
I am about to choose HKUST for a bachelor's in Quant finance, but before that, I wish to obtain some information about the financial industry.

Chinese Concentration Camps– Does the US Government Care?
Saw this tweet yesterday posted from the Chinese government’s American embassy which boasted about the ‘benefits’ of forced sterilization of Uygur women in their 're-education' camps: Is anything ever going to be done to address their pretty blatant human rights violations? At this point it...

Rating agencies are erring big time again, this time on China
Okay, so I've been a long-time reader and member of WSO , but created a separate account to talk about some controversial issues. The first one is about China.

Ruling of the South China Sea and Bill Clinton
So, I am going to say upfront that I don't like China. It's not their commoners, but their communist party and anybody who blindingly supports the bully regime. Reasons: their planned economy is wasting natural resources across the world, which is used to build ghost cities that serve no purposes;...

Don't Blame China
Monkeys, it blows my mind that there are folks on Wall Street that believe the Federal Reserve can raise rates. China devaluing their currency is NOT why our markets are in turmoil.

The Cause and Future of a Massive Chinese Sell-Off
In a period shorter than a month, the Chinese market has lost over 3.6 trillion in value, which is greater than the GDP of France. Many see this as mimicking the 1929 U.S. stock market crash.
