What's great about this video is that it's not just relevant to investment banking- this video will be very helpful to any graduate analyst in other industries. I'm glad you highlighted that soft skills are key i.e. listening skills, organisation skills, communication skills, punctuality, networking, commercial awareness. All the best for the future.

So it was boring and s*** crunched a lot of numbers, talk to traders, many of them were fixed, however the benefits, the pay, the perks, the parties, the bonuses all that s*** was amazing at that time. My graduated from the University of Vermont in 2001 and moved in with her in the city 2 weeks before 9/11 and she might have still been at One Liberty plaza. And she was on her BlackBerry constantly

@@PirateTHESteam1 You're not aiming to just be an analyst all your life though. It's a matter of working your ass off as a junior to work your way up the ladder and go from 70-80k to well into the six figures and even more.

@@PirateTHESteam1 $70-80k? I got a first year analyst position at a private corp not even close to the size of GS with absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Hours are 9-5, mon-fri. 22 PTO days annually. $65,000 annually right out of college and it isn't even some hot shot position like at Goldman... This dude makes much more than $70-80k

An analyst makes about £55,000-65,000 plus bonuses and allowances. So that is definitely worth the workload. Good question? Would my previous work experience affect my application, if I didn't work in an Investment Bank, but I have a Masters in Finance? I would be applying for the associate level.

I will be doing the Spring Internship for Legal Division in April and I will be interviewed for Summer Analyst Internship. So this was really helpful. I have also been doing the Make Things Possible Academy and I agree networking is so important! They are all so nice and helpful tho! :) Thanks for the video!

You absolutely did well here Afzal, however I wish you spoke frankly about the realities of office politics, the traps of unspoken corporate etiquette & bullying...

Can't even handle a 9 to 5.30 most days! I'm a grad consultant at a specialist consultancy with project deadlines and annoying clients and day to day is similar, have my peaks where I may work the odd late day or week but doing that everyday working 12-14 hr days. I guess you get paid double and work double too

Nice to see you that you are taking an entrepreneurial journey, as someone who cold messaged you on LinkedIn a few years back? About guest posting on Canary Wharfian. Since then I sold that website and I am a coder. All the best!

I know nothing of this business however I must say I personally would record meetings like I do at my job when we do have meetings, I record them and review them. Interesting occupation I must say. Thank you for the privilege of your time Sir.
