Great video. We all strive for financial independence and better life. It’s not difficult in achieving this through the right investment, living frugally, and budgeting. I’m glad I learned early in life to work hard for financial freedom

In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely, For this reason, I advise seeking help from professionals(financial advisors). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment books the challenge is using them well.

Hi Afzal, been loving your content recently! Just wanted to ask your opinion; that being, do you think the fact that I am doing Economics at a non-target University (Essex) will hinder me from getting into the banking industry? Is there anything i can do to negate the negative perceptions. PSA I had to go to a Uni close to me for personal/family reasons despite getting three A’s at A level; could have gone to somewhere “better” if my circumstances were better.

Hey Afzal! First of all I want to really thank you for all your videos and the help and support they provide. I am a 1st year Business student at ESADE really looking forward to starting a career in IB/management consulting. I know that experience is really important but it is hard to find internships being a 1 year student. I have some possibilities but they are limited. Do you think that in first year it actually matters what I do or where as long as it is related to business in a way, or do big firms just really want to see that you have been gaining experience from the earliest stage possible? For now, the three possibilities I have are working as a business analyst in a small startup, doing some accounting work at a big hotel or working in a small consultant firm doing accounting. What do you think? Thanks!!!

Hi Afzal Thanks for the video! I found it super helpful, especially as I am from politics background with little financial experience and have been unsuccessfully applying since my 2nd year of University in 2016! Just wanted to ask. Does it really matter the position of the person you might meet and network with. Eg, if you write in your cover letter you met xxx person, would the person reading care more if you met an associate or MD or C-suite? I read somewhere that people at the bank have preferences the hierarchy of the person you namedrop and reference. Just found your channel, in good time too! Probably be sending my CV and cover letters off to your workshop! Best Chris

Hi, when did you begin applying for insight weeks and spring internships? Is it best to begin early in September before the course has begun or further on when you've joined societies? Thank you

I go to umass amherst and ive heard all these "insight weeks" called externships. seems like they are the same thing but externships are usually only 2-3 days rather than a week

Where did you find such networking events and did you just ask the compa y for insight weeks or it was an oppurtunity held by the uni

Hi @Afzal Hussein Do banks still take risk in trading and if so in what specific products to the best of your knowledge? Thanks Leo

Hi Afzal, I'm in my third year and only recently got into investment banking. haven't done any internships at Goldman Sachs or other investment banks yet. Do I apply for a summer internship first even tho I'm in my last year or go straight for the analyst graduate job?

Is it really important to apply for summer internship at GS the 1st July? Like, is it over if you apply later or weeks before the closing days?

For graduates applying to the New Analyst stream, which stipulates that applicants should have no or little financial services experience, will there still be questions about financial markets in the video interview and other interviews?

Any advice for someone like myself who’s left it too late to apply for most insight weeks in my first year?

Thank you for your insights! Could certainly have used this a decade ago. Even if lot of interviews few and far between then might not have been as big a difference maker. Incidentally only came across your channel the other day _after_ I was told I would be getting a job offer from our friends at J.P. :) To complement (or merely to mesh) what you said in the video, life experience/strong knowledge were what prevailed for my interview. Would also stress a lot of earlier failed job prospects did help to ultimately hone the right message at interview time.

Are insight weeks available for masters students in the uk?

The online testing process follows standardised testing procedures. It allows employers to recognise abilities and skillset rather than what experience you have gained or how amazing your cover letter sounds. This also makes the process fairer as each applicant is playing in the same park. Really good video btw!

How long are the insight weeks? Im asking because I'm in my secound year now and I don't have holidays. I also have to be in university to every lesson. Mostly from 9:45-17:00. When I looked up on GS or JPM and other firms websites, I always saw interships for at least 3 months. Thats kind of impossible for me. I could arrange space for 1 month. Do you know if something like this is possible, too? Greetings from Germany and thank you for the video.

Does a 2.1 mean a GPA 2.1? sorry i dont use this system in my country. And if so, this is about a C grade average right?

At 19:05, what's the difference between an asset management division in an investment bank compared to a pure play asset manager? And why would you choose one over the other? Been trying to google the answer and can't find anything!

@AfzalHussein

5 жыл бұрын

Hey! Pros and cons vary, however, an AM division which is part of an investment bank can leverage the broader resources and divisions of the investment bank, whereas, a pure play AM firm might not have those resources or divisions. On the flip side, sometimes consulting companies prefer pure-play AM firms as their actions, philosophy and ethos are not dictated by a larger investment bank (which often can be seen in a negative light). Pure-play asset managers might have more specialised resources and be more niche as well. This might be interesting for you: www.mergersandinquisitions.com/asset-management-institutional-sales/ Hope that's useful info!
