1. How to be social again - MBA programs are hyper social 2. MBA:s give a stamp of approval for jobs and relationship 3. Time is an important resource that must be prioritized wisely 4. Challenging yourself is a mind set 5. The human experience is vast - your ”bubble might pop” and you get a broad perspective

Bro your channel is such a gem. I’m seeing this almost daily and it surprises me each time.

Anyone who roasts you beyond the level of good natured, mutual respect is simply insecure. It is good you confronted that person. Glad to hear the program is working out.

thank you~

I am currently doing my MBA at TEMPLE university and here are the 5 things I have learnt so far 1. It is important to learn how to work in teams 2.Not everyone will like you and it is okay 3. Be comfortable with knowing not everyone will like you 4. Always have a voice during a meeting 5.Give yourself a chance to learn because you will learn ALOT during your MBA

4/5 of these are about how people perceive you/whether they like you. So important. Needed this, thanks!

This is awesome - as someone applying to MBA programs right now, this is super helpful. Thank you!!

Great watch Ben! Love following your journey at Wharton

Really insightful comments and reflection. Especially about hearing diverse perspectives

Thank you for the video Ben. It was insightful. Keep making such videos. All the best.

Love it!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi I’m a big law applicants and I find your banking videos so helpful but generally all videos! Can you do a QNA please? Would love to know your personal life too!

interesting timing of this upload

omg the american-centric thingy is so spot on! I'm doing my master in the US now as a foreign student and everytime i mention that to an american they become so defensive! I got warned about this from my european and aussie friends before but oh wow :). It's good that you realise that now :)

Sick dude love it. Agree entrepreneurship especially online stuff is terribly lonely. That’s partly why I wanna do b school. Can you comment on effect of AI/AGI and what people in top b schools think? Weighing between b school vs more technical path like SWE… or both.

to be quite honest people are not that "tech forward" in their thinking at Wharton. While everyone knows about AI and most have used chatGPT, they are much more focused on recruiting for jobs like banking, consulting, tech (non-AI roles). i actually don't think i met a single person recruiting for an AI role. I think a lot of this is a function of being on the West Coast because I suspect the students at Haas and Stanford care a lot more and there would be a larger number of ppl interested in it. My personal take is that AI is the future but there will be a lot of garbage companies that use AI as a flashy marketing ploy. So lots of potential but still need to pick and choose the right company.

Hello, your content is great. Got a suggestion: can you make a video where there is a comparison of Investment Bankers and management consultants in great detail? is it possible? Thank you!

Awesome video! Coming from a first year undergrad business major, do you think it's worth it to explore my interests? Personally, I'm a part of 180 Degrees Consulting (consulting chapter) in my college and I feel I have made up my mind in pursuing Management Consulting as a career since I really enjoy the process of cold mailing/calling > pitching to potential clients > converting > setting deliverables > implementing them and have actively contributed to each of the steps in the cycle. My one issue, however, is on academics. I have my end semester exams in 5 days and here I am looking at your videos for the past 2 hours and maintaining my aimed personal portfolio in a spreadsheet and doc. Is it the right approach? I see batchmates bantering and having fun, I hang out sometimes too, but I feel it's useless in the long run. Like, seniors have told me to balance it out, but I want to pursue MBA from global t10’s and not remain in my country (India) for the master’s. The ROI generated from studying here is more, but I believe in the long run, a foreign MBA would balance out the values. Also, do you think it’s a good shot for me if I’m able to cofound IFSA (international chapter) in my college, get around 750 on GMAT, >3.6 GPA, good case + debate competition wins, and good 3/4 govt/corporate/pe, vc startups along with volunteering experience and POR in 180 DC enough for t10’s? Apologies for this long message :p

Ben, what did that person roast you about? Interested!

3:32 in the end this is the classical problem of asymmetric information. How students are selected is the key not what they teach you

How did you get the impression that a lot of people were looking to get married? Was there just a lot of dating?

Hi what do you think? which is better? Going to directly MS in Finance, after bachelor degree Or gain work expereince then going to MBA?

@rareliquid

Жыл бұрын

depends. if the MS can get you into a good field right away then that's a great option that will save you time. overall though the MBA is looked more favorably than the MS but it takes more time to get and is more expensive

Sounds like better for men waiting until after 30 to go to b school if wanna find a partner there , and don’t be recruiting IB or no time to “‘mingle” Is workload a lot more due to your second masters?

@rareliquid

Жыл бұрын

it's a meaningful amount more but still manageable. have to take a larger courseload each semester and write 2 master theses but the work is spread over time and classes aren't super hard

Rare liquid has more earning potential than the MBA

MBA opens up more doors since it's usually for experienced hires targeting associate roles. I'd recommend you leverage your software engineering and getting advanced with python to break into asset management or you could work on a platform like Factset or Bloomberg. There are a lot of different areas of finance so definitely network as much as possible to learn about which area is the right fit for you

I find it interesting that you have a very American-centric point of view considering the amount of travelling you've done, the small matter of living in an entirely different country for 3 or 4 years, being the son of an immigrant family, and just the whole general rising sentiment of ethnocentrism that's getting more vocal in a lot of countries. That's uh, a bit surprising to hear 😅 As always, I'd like to write more about your lessons, but I'd just end up with a book-load of comments dominating the comment section lol

kinda unrelated but real question: is it weird to have a sitauation (your work) where you are mostly reliant on one-way relationships to make a living? like for example i assume u need repeat watchers from subs but you dont know anything about them. u need a continuous relationship with them but its not real like in banking or other jobs where you phsically meet people and develop relationships. and its not like a quick transaction like buying coffee or clothes. it needs to be more than that so is youtube like an empty transactional thing? im just lamenting the unbalance aspect of online relationships. i wanted to become a twitch streamer a while back but that thought is always there...the interaction/connection w/ viewers is only superficial. lol i dunno if that makes sense.

fair question and i do think it's honestly hard to create meaningful relationships with viewers once you get at scale because there's only one of you and so many viewers. what i think about is creating the best content possible honestly and that's how i keep the viewer in mind. i also only work with legit sponsors and never try to scam any viewer. i add in products i sell and etc to run this business but i never pressure anyone to do anything and try to price fairly. so while i don't feel like i have deep relationships with all viewers, i still keep them in mind this way. also btw, as a company scales, a lot of them have one-way relationships. for ex apple or nike doesn't have two-way relationships with its customers. i at least don't personally feel like i have a meaningful relationship with apple or nike even though i buy their products
