I am a bit further down the line in banking career, but I still like watching your videos in which you give suggestions to interns/freshgrads. Your points are usually very valid, and to the point. I also like the way you present them. Keep it up

great Video! I'd be interested to know what your opinion is on humour when starting an internship? I got lucky with the humour that I had starting out but in retrospect, people have told me its not something you introduce or use especially on your first day. I'd be interested to know your thoughts!

May sounds like a stupid question, but we all know that hours are intense for an IB analyst but are they just as long for an intern or do they try and ease you in a little bit ?

Hey, I'm interested in potentially working in asset management or private wealth management at a bank in Central London. What are the exit opportunities for these divisions? Do they typically accept candidates from non-target universities or is it a rare thing like in ibd? Sorry for all the questions 😅👍

28 w/ an internship... This is my second internship, in fact this is the 2nd time I’ve ever applied for an internship, which puts me at a 2/2 ratio. Allow me to let you in on something - I have more experience than the avg college student... been working in finance since I was 21. My circumstances make for excellent storytelling, recanting various experiences throughout the years and how they’ve impacted my drive to pursue my path. (Discuss the people you’ve encountered, how they’ve inspired you to push yourself farther.) I am an incoming junior as I didn’t go the traditional student route... which again, makes for a unique perspective and compelling storyline. When interviewing, I express that I’m in a transitional period in my career, may reference something in learning in my Econ classes, and how I’m seeking insight into other sectors of finance. (It goes without saying that you need to be specific about your interest in the firm and the intern role. I also explain how the internship would serve as an introduction.) * During the final process of interviewing for my first internship, the MD did ask me my age. She expressed that I was her team’s favorite candidate but hesitant to select me, because I was already working an incredibly competitive oil and gas division... She ended up giving me 24 hours to think about my decision and I responded by sending their office boxes of donuts, this was around “International Women’s Day” and I thought it was such a creative way to say yes to their offer - please understand that being an experienced adult allows you a different type of advantage! If you get too caught up in competing with college kids, you’ll forget how much more of an asset you really are and how out of the mold you really get to be. In conclusion, this firm ended up hiring me & another student, when they were only seeking 1 candidate for their department... it got to the point where I became responsible for checking errors on the other student’s assignments because the team had more trust in my accuracy, credibility, and work ethic-imagine that!... Keep in mind this internship was last year, but I’m having lunch with this same team at the end of the month. ( Never forget to maintain your relationships, they’re essential to your network!)*** Furthermore, I also express how I am financially in a position to take an internship over working a 9/5. (Most people are not unfortunately, but this typically indicates that you’re not going to be difficult or entitled when it comes to pay. ) Fun Fact: The internship I’m working right now is the highest pay I’ve ever received, it’s in Fintech. To wrap this up - I don’t care what role you’re trying to break into... Unless the criteria specifically has an age requirement, there is absolutely no such thing as being too old! Learning how to MARKET and SELL yourself is key! The professional world is really just one big advertisement industry, and the best marketer always triumph, NOT the youngest. Remain teachable, strategically purposefully, eager to learn new skills and I promise you, you will have the confidence to navigate this journey.
