Hey, that's a fair point. I try to create videos dependent on demand and where I think I can add value, even if only a little. As such, I focus on areas across the different areas within an investment bank given the interest and demand from young people and students. Some videos on asset management, some on back office roles, some on investment banking specifically. I think a common misconception is you can only speak about or teach something you have experience in, however, everything I talk about can be learned regardless of prior experience. Also, I like to think I create such videos in an easy to follow and relatable way for the viewer. Something that I'm told many people, especially those in such roles, aren't great at doing. Hope that answers your question and thanks for taking the time.

Reason number 2 is slightly misleading because even though a bulge bracket firm like Goldman Sachs may employ 30,000 people for example, only a fraction of those roles will be vacant looking for applications ....when you say 30,000 roles you give the slightly misleading impression that the turnover is 100%

Again, much appreciated from all the content you share.

Hey Afzal, Just wanted to get your opinion. I am an accounting student. I have really been thinking about switching to Finance and minoring in Economics. Yet anytime I ask someone they say if you do not go to an Ivy League you will just end up selling life insurance for NorthWestern. You will not end up working in private equity, wealth management, or financial analyst positions. Just wanted your opinion on this. Some people say accounting will be better to stick with. I have also been told that to get into IB it would be better to go into STEM field. Not sure how much of this is true. Clarification would be greatly appreciated.

I’m a 3rd year student an I’ve received an offer from Big4 however I really don’t think it’s the career for me, I know the work won’t motivate me and I’m coming back around to the idea of working in IB, it’s way to late at this point to apply to grad schemes. I’ve thought about applying to off-cycle internships and hope to convert one of them before I have to sign the contact for the grad scheme. Do you have any advice?

Doing a video on this in the coming weeks. Long story short, degree discipline isn't the be all and end all. It's only 1 factor out of many (unless you are hoping to apply to very niche roles such as quantitative trading, in which case you'll need to study something very technical). As I say to many students who ask this question, focus on a subject you enjoy and can ace. You'll learn everything about the job on the job. Academia to finance is quite common.

I managed to get a part-time job at one of Sweden's greatest banks, within the private banking division, right after my high school graduation this summer and work there now alongside my bachelor studies in business and economics. Do you believe that this will weigh up for all the internships that I'm thus not able to apply for? I want to believe that this is better than internships for my future career, but don't know for sure.

Undrar hur du fick denna tjänst direkt efter gymnasiet, vilket gymmasie du studerade till och var du studerar nu? Skulle du även elaborera på tillvägagångssättet för någon som också vill ta samma väg. Basically, hur gick processen till? Vädligt kul att någon annan också är från Sverige.

If you want to work in front office and don’t get any offers then why would you settle for back office? Better to apply for the client facing roles in the Big 4. Your chances of moving from Corporate Finance Big 4 to IB front office / Private Equity later on will be significantly higher. The advice here is quite odd.

Getting a front office role at an IB is extremely hard. Even kids from oxford/Cambridge compete and not every student gets in! Someone who’s from a complete non target will get chucked out straight away. The reason is because the big IB’s have had previous interns/grads from top universities who are extremely hard working, which is proven by getting into the university they are at. This isn’t saying individuals at non targets don’t get a shot or aren’t hard working, it’s just much more difficult. Best bet for a non target university student who isn’t getting a shot at IB front office roles is to get in through a middle/back office role (which even so are not extremely easy to get, just a little more than front office) and network your ass off with front office guys/girls, get great referrals from your current directors/VP’s, help them out as much as you can, go out for drinks with them etc. AND DO YOUR CFA!

Not to be negative. Just trying to understand it from a better angle. But would you not say that, in the medical sector, university ranking doesn't matter simply because the high labour demand for those jobs? Not to mention that to get into medicine you have to be achieving straight A*'s anyway. So there is no difference (largely) between the calibre of people from Cambridge and a 'lesser' university .

All IB first reach out to their universities to get their talent. There are more than enough just in the Ivy League that for them it’s not easy. If you were not till, you’re not getting in…sorry…try trading….its so much more rewarding and pays really well. Plus you don’t. Red to be an Ivy to be good. 😮 have fun and enjoy your life.

Thats just wrong, you are one of hundreds at your university who made it to a BB but at relevant universities (LSE, HEC.....) nerly every second student interns at a BB. It is not impossible for a non target but a lot harder for sure. Furthermore "Diversity" does not mean shit. They write this on their Websites but in the reality people in Investment Banking or Management consulting have a typical background: Target School, Summer Analyst, 3.5 GPA.....

Hey! Thanks for the comment. I totally understand your frustrations, concerns and points. I hear it a lot. I actually went to a non-target. It's harder, as you mention, for sure. Hence, why I have created this video to provide tips and demystify some misconceptions. I've spent years in the industry and I can tell you 'diversity' does actually come in to play. Hopefully there'll be something in this video for you. Let me know if you have any questions though - happy to try and help :)

@@AfzalHussein I am not frustrated or a non target but thats the view on the industrie i got by now. It is very sad in my opinion that a lot or hard working kids do not get the chance because BOAM or Goldman want to do the twentieth networking event at LBS but none at other schools and the new interns are all "George's" or "Harry's". I really love your videos because you are the first content creator with an actual industry background, so your informations are really helpful and reliable. I would love to see a video about networking with some examples or topics to talk about with professionals. Keep up the content :)

@@dontworryaboutus9362 I couldn't agree with you more! Totally agree and you sum it up well. That is one of the main reasons why I've started this channel - to help ALL students, especially those who are at a slight disadvantage either due to a lack of connections, non-target background, etc. It's also why I started touring the UK travelling to universities and presenting to students as part of my #UKUniTour. With regards to a video on networking, I'll be publishing it this Wednesday 26th December 2018 and I think it'll have lots of useful content for you (I hope!). Thanks for taking the time to watch my content. I really appreciate it :)

Not being rude, but with that attitude you are not going to get anywhere. You need to think positively!

Agreed! I've been trying to make them shorter, however, there's just so much content I want to share. Focusing on being more concise and shortening them going forward :)

One important thing I’ve learnt so far in sending lots of applications is to just try. The highest they can say is no. You won’t die.
