Thank you for the information Afzal! Awesome video
Target: Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial, Warwick. Semi target - Edinburgh, York, Durham, Bristol, Nottingham, ST Andrews, etc. Difference between target and semi target is very little for a good candidate
heh Afzal, a huge fan of your videos playlist. could u plz make a video on the role of data science and AI in the world of finance? CFA has now integrated this component as part of their syllabus.

Hey Afzal, love the content! Did not secure an internship, is there any work experience opportunities that has come across your radar?
Hey Afzal ! Great paper. Would you also consider doing one on Audit, Tax Advisory and Consulting (basically the Big Four firms) ? Keep the great job !

Hey Afzal, thank you so much for for the information. I was wondering what technical skills you believe would help a candidate differentiate themselves in applying to an asset management position at a top FI? I'm currently learning Python, as well as VBA and R through my quantitative analytics and class, but I don't really know what I should be actively mastering for a role in AM. I have my BMC certification as well, though that feels like more of a prerequisite then anything else, haha.
Hi Afzal, love your content. I’m currently working at an accountancy practice but would like to go into data/finance analytical work. Would you suggest me doing a course on how to use Python or SQL to give me a boost in getting a job
Hi Azfal, thanks for your videos. Quick question, is the IMC certificate only for UK? Because I'm from Spain and I'm not sure if it's available to get it in my country or if it's useful for the Spanish AM market. Thanks again for your help!!
Hi Afzal ! Love your content and thanks a lot for this little Asset Management guide ! Do you plan to do smth similar on Fund Mangement later on ? Thanks again for the help and content !
For spring week applications, what advice do you have for online assessments (situational judgments q), they’re quite hard to pass
What are your thoughts on changing careers? From one professional career to getting IMC and entering asset management? Age late 30s.
Hi Afzal, great video can you please let me know if a business management degree will allow me to get into asset management sales or will a more quantitative degree be preferred?

A business management degree is fine. You'll rarely use your degree unless you're going into a highly technical role (which sales isn't). You're good 👍🏽
Hi Afzal, I’ve got two options and just wanted to get your opinion on it either I can do hsbc asset management degree apprenticeship or jp morgan operations apprenticeship (Bournemouth), do you think that it’s possible to rotate to frotn office position or am I better off just starting at front office but at a lower bank

Opperations is not a good role and you will be stuck there. Less than 10% get out of that role from efinancial careers stats
Hey Afzal, I’m currently studying to become a chartered surveyor (APC) and keen to understand how I can cross over to asset management after completion. Does your book cover how potentially to break in with qualifications other than the CFA?

YOU do not need APC just the MSc and some experience.

Hi Azfal. I’ll be doing my MSc in Finance and Investment Banking this Sept at a Non Target (international student). I have 3 years work experience as an Equity Research Analyst and I am CFA Level 3 candidate. How can I increase my chances of getting hired?

Hey I’m not Azfal, but I would like to answer First of all your CV is already outstanding. I think you should focus on networking. Especially going to events that companies offer. That’s how I could attain a position in a top tier investment banking boutique.
