What is it like to Work in CANARY WHARF London (TOUR)
Ойын-сауық
I am a Loughborough university student currently on my placement year in industry. I am working for a mid-market private equity firm and living in London. In this video I tour around Canary Wharf in London, I start by looking at the investment banks such as HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citi Bank. I talk about what its like work and live there as well as the best restaurants in Canary Wharf.

I work in Canary Wharf and I must say that at first it was a dream to work within the area, but over time it got dull and boring seeing the same old things again and again, although getting to work early in the morning during the winter period is nice, seeing the lights from the buildings and breathing is the cool cold air and walking in Canary Wharf in the dark whiles listening to music. Not so bad, but yeah pretty much boring once you get used to the area and have been working there for a year or more

this is so great. luv it! thank you for the video, jacob!
Both my gf and I work at CW, we decided to live in Isle of Dogs as it is mostly recent and very close to work. At first it was quite nice but it’s rather dull and I’d actually advise against living there if you’re in your 20s and don’t work insane hours
This is a wonderful incisive vlog on Canary Wharf I absolutely love it! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for that video! My dream is to work in hedge fund macro in London. I recently graduated from high school and am currently focusing on developing an investment strategy based on macro. Unfortunately, I am a bit worried because I will not be studying at a prestigious college, but to be honest, the stock market does not care about your education, gender, etc."
