Graduates from the world’s top 10 business schools are 40 per cent less likely to choose a career in banking than they were before the multibillion-dollar losses, trading scandals and shrinking pay packets of the past few years.
過去幾年，銀行業虧損數十億美元，交易丑聞曝光，薪資縮水，世界十大商學院的畢業生選擇在銀行業就業的幾率降低了40%。
Analysis by the Financial Times of the career paths of graduates from the top 10 MBA programmes shows just 10.6 per cent are now choosing banking as a career compared with 17.4 per cent in 2008.
英國《金融時報》對排名世界前十的MBA項目的畢業生的職業方向進行了分析，發現現在僅有10.6%的MBA畢業生選擇在銀行業就業，而2008年這個比例為17.4%。
The 6.8 percentage point drop translates into a 40 per cent difference in banking’s popularity before and after the financial crisis.

Wall Street’s biggest banks, including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, have been displaced by tech companies such as Amazon and Google as graduates shun the insecurity and long hours of finance in favour of more entrepreneurial professions, or employers such as the consultancy McKinsey.
高盛(Goldman Sachs)和摩根大通(JPMorgan)等華爾街大銀行的吸引力，已被亞馬遜(Amazon)和谷歌(Google)等科技企業趕超。金融業的不穩定和超長的工作時長令商學院畢業生望而卻步，他們如今更偏愛創業型職業，或是像咨詢公司麥肯錫(McKinsey)這樣的雇主。
The shift in sentiment stands in contrast to the pre-crisis boom years when Wall Street and the City of London dominated MBA recruiting.
MBA畢業生如今的就業傾向與金融危機前繁榮時期的情況形成了鮮明對比，當時華爾街和倫敦金融城(City of London)是MBA畢業生的主要去向。

“Banks are now much less appealing, especially in Europe,” said Alan Johnson, managing director at pay consultant Johnson Associates. “The pay, the rules, the oversight, the politics, the bureaucracy — firms are not nearly as attractive as they used to be.”
“銀行的吸引力大幅降低，尤其是在歐洲，”薪酬咨詢公司Johnson Associates董事總經理艾倫約翰遜(Alan Johnson)表示，“薪資、規則、監督、辦公室政治、官僚作風等等，銀行已經遠不如過去那樣有吸引力了。”
The fall in the popularity of banking has also outstripped that of the overall financial sector, which includes insurance and fund management, whose appeal has fallen by 23 per cent.
銀行業吸引力的降幅還超過了包括保險和基金管理在內的整個金融業，后者的吸引力下降了23%。
