1. Academic is NOT the only placement for a PhD, but a large proportion of PhDs did end up with academic careers. The revealed preferences of PhD candidates vary from person to person. Also, Most PhD programmes are targeted for academics, not tailored for IB. Anyway, when you apply for a PhD, you, at least, should have "some" interest in research work.......otherwise life is long, and hard....
2. There is a blur line between academics and practitioners. Sometimes a professor might be Head of XXXX in JP Morgan, and sometimes a manager say Head of Alternative Investments would offer a course in a biz school. Professor Chen Zhiwu, for instance, even set up a hedge fund of his own.
3. Except for a few roles/positions, such as researchers, quants (rocket scientists) in BACK OFFICE, a Bachelor or Master is enough for IB. PhDs might be perceived to be "over-qualified" in this case.
On the other hand, if you'd just like to be a researcher, a quant..... a PhD in a quantitative subject is almost a must.
4. To get into, or rather, to excel in IB, WHO you know is much more important than WHAT you know (your degree, skills, talents....)
美国一大把的博士都在投行，谁说PHD毕业只去学校？
我觉得有些沟通上的歧义在里面。“一大把”，是相对比例，还是绝对数量？
绝对数量，和本科、硕士比较，就是Orange和Apple 比较，肯定这么不能比较。
我猜2L的意思是，相对比例也不低。但无可否认，总的来说，进高校的比例，比去投行的比例高。但这只是一个结果，我们不了解具体到每个人，到底这个结果是“第一志愿”，还是“调剂志愿”。
大家的争执不是在一个点上，所以，一路看下来，我都有点疑惑。
