How dope would it be if you made a cameo in season 2?
Of all the background information and contextual analysis, the fact that Eric's actor was in Rush Hour will stick
Loving your commentary - your insights and jargon breakdown makes the series even better

Been following you for YEARS, this reaction series is one of the best bits of content you've produced not only does it give us insight but it separates fact from fiction. Love the work bro keep it coming.

Afzal would be the godfather of banking Harper has to defeat in season 2.
One reason I loved working the trading floor between 2016 -2019 was just the stories and interactions you just have. Being yelled at and being nonchalant about it really shows. I have seen jr traders left in little of 2 weeks just under the emotional stress. God I miss the pit.
I really look forward to these

I started to watch you because of HBO's "Industry" series, but once the program is over, I plan to stay for some informative and interesting topics. Good luck and thanks.
Need to do these more!! Been waiting long for this episode! Great job man
Yesss mann always look forward to watching it with you! My favourite! Keep up the good work man!
billions meeting industry would be the dream
Love your reaction videos! Am in the industry, really enjoying the series which really nails a lot of the important details. Reacting to them whilst watching is half the fun, so being able to share in the reaction with your assessment has been great!

I'm an fx salesperson, and I would like to let every undergrad know that the politics in Industry is on point. Come in, be prepared to please everyone, but never stop watching your fucking back.
When's the next one of these out man? The workplace advice you give along the way in relation to the show is actually really helpful! 😀

The thought of going to a client-dinner and roasting the client is absolutely hilarious 😂😂
Hope you release videos for the rest of the season!
This show is fucking amazing, I have no clue what’s going on in the business terminology side, but character wise I love it 😂
I would like to know Afzal's favourite character in the series ...😅
Episode 6 was insane! I’d love to see your reaction
I worked in one of the Vault 100 Law Firms in the U.S., and I have literally felt every single one of these things. Given that our New York office was a major Wall St. law firm that represented your former employers in several situations, gives you insight into the climate of where I was working. Not a day went by that new Attorneys and/or new Staffers who were recruited from some of the top universities wanted to run away. But that internal strife of possible black ball later on would always plague every person. For me, however, I felt that if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't have minded working there again, knowing what I know now. It was a decision made, on my part, when things seemed to be going downhill, but I didn't realize that it was my own internal insecurities about my abilities that lead me to my decision more than the firm's bad P.R. (at the time). It is true, when you look back or consider your position now, some wouldn't mind making the same decisions, or making corrections.
What we have been waiting for
Love theses videos!:)

I appreciate your idea that everyone is human in the workplace. It’s very easy to think your boss is royalty or something. I would like to add, internalizing the need for instant gratification from your managers will lower your self-esteem more than help it. Delayed gratification from hard work and ambition pays off better.
Great episode! Thanks for sharing your experience as always. Also, what is your watch?? I dig it.
thank u for reacting to this, I wanted to watch this so bad, but couldnt find a stream lol. also that black chick character, she always doin the most haha
I have been loving you videos
Love the videos any chance of a video on the interview procsess at Goldman
Wish Industry featured more content about investment banking. The drama keeps things interesting, but ultimately unrealistic.

That what would you do different if you could go back in time is a great question. I will use it in the day to day and ask it to interviewers on job interviews. Good one to draw attention.
Can't wait for reaction videos for episode 6,7,8
Great video man! You could also show more of Robert and his boss Clement and what you think of their dynamic. Especially as we learn in this episode, his upper-British attitude and style (gold ring on the finger, fake accent) is a disguise masking his humble origin similar to Robert's!
That was a very informative video!

Loved the show; great commentary here. I've been at client events with bosses/execs that might drink too much or be socially awkward, but I found Kenny's behavior almost too hard to believe, particularly when they went out for the night-cap. Hard to fathom someone would be so unable to read the room.
I cannot wait till u get to the last episode!! 😭
Awesome 👍
Awesome!
Gus shoulda never touched the mans phone. I'd be mad too
Eric was also in the sopranos with Uncle Junior
Gus too prickly lol
Afzal, sure u have answered this question before but are u going to do the last 3 episodes of the series? also really enjoy the perspective u give
Eric's bomber jacket ❤
I don’t think what Gus did answering the phone was wrong, it maybe overstepping his position but the intentions where good. I think Eric was mad and took part of his anger on him
Liked before watching

man I just started watching this after your videos and there are a feww scenes you didn't include, understandably
還有episode 6, 7 & 8嗎?looking forward > _
Hi Afzal, I see you were at Goldman Sach between 2014 to 2018. If I'm not mistaken, my cousin was working at Goldman Sach (IBD) around that time too. Not sure if you've worked with him before :D
Fun fact, I just recognized Eric on episode VII of Star Wars hahaha(yeah, I didn’t see the Disney trilogy until now so...)
makes retail investing look like a dream
You give good advice, regardless of industry

Do you have any advice on how to learn many of these things, I certainly don't learn it in college and am wondering as to where interns learn everything they know to be able to pitch ideas
Good video, can you turn up the volume of the series? I barely understand what they say without subtitles
What watch are you wearing? Looks good
what do you work as now, still in banking or go into anything else?
So great to learn about investment banking from someone who's got their head on their shoulders

So is this set in the asset management part of an investment bank?
havent watched the show but binged watched your commentary lol
/is there 8 episodes out right now?
rush hour lol good catch
Came here because of the show and I’m not in this business, at all. I’ve never been to an off site meeting but I can’t imagine it would be a good idea to get so drunk you can’t control what you say. 100%guarantee Eric was drunk of his rocker when he said whatever it was.
Eric is blowing things out of proportion for Gus answering his phone. Gus might have overstepped but once it's made clear that Eric doesn't like his phone answered, Gus won't do it again. It's not that big of a deal. That's why Gus has to walk away and not try to change Eric's mind. Eric is an MD, there's no winning that batter and it's not worth it, but we know Gus has quite the confidence.
what is that watch you are wearing?
Can u make a video on private equity careers
Afzal, quick question: what does vp or md and thos types of notation mean? Im from mexico so im not very familiar with those letters haha.

Please could you react to the episode where they har supposed to perform a speech in front of the board/managers. Gus goes nuts!!!!
Eric is my favorite character in the show
How’s it Afzal. Overall, how realistic do you reckon the show is? Also, do you think an IB employ someone with an honours degree and CAIA, or would they exclusively want CFA?
Will u do ep 7 and 8 ?
I knew he looked familiar, Rush Hour was great. :)
Why you are not long posting these series?
the MD locked the door to not let anyone get in ... former commando...
He’s also Miles from Lost
Have you heard about the show "Bad Banks" ... it's a german show about investment banking and really good imo. You should check it out one day
I love your videos and this is not a criticism by any means but your understanding of Compliance function is incorrect. Compliance do not deal with employee grievances or background checks (you mentioned in previous video) this is the role of HR. In Compliance we advise the business on regulatory matters pertaining to the business they conduct. This can be making sure they are abiding with market regs or financial crime. We have no involvement with HR matters. :)

My bad, must have mixed them up! Thanks for correcting 😊
Please watch the new season
So if that client left, why is the VP showing up at that meeting? I didn’t get that part.
I’d solve an small issue for them and then approach them in the right way so I have their attention. Or maybe just go to their offices. 6:53
Wasn’t Eric on X Men the Last Stand? I think he was the porcupine guy but I could be wrong.
Nice to know not all financial staff aren't toffee nosed nobs. Go Afzal!
Please react to season 2!
😂😂😂 bengi bruce
EP 6, 7 & 8?
