The intended research question is to identify the golden period in a successful banker’s career. “Gold period” means the
time period when the bankers can obtain big progress of their career, getting fast promotion or having chance to work in
a more well-known company. By randomly choosing people working in banking industries, we collect their information
in terms of their companies and positions, which defines their career achievement (occupation quality) together, in
different periods. Consequently, the project focuses on the relationship between the subjects’ years of experience and
their corresponding “occupation quality” in their career span. The ultimate aim of the project is to compare the rate of
upward movement in the job ladder for bankers.
