UPDATE: my comprehensive ALPHASIGHTS GUIDE is now available 📝 alphasights.allygong.com/ 📚 I spent dozens of hours on this guide and it goes into way more detail, including interview prep and tips :). this will help you phenomenally and hopefully help answer any remaining questions.
I finally got to upload a more comprehensive version of the first Alphasights video I made back in March. I got a lot of follow-up questions and emails and didn't get a chance to talk to all of you individually but wanted to include some more information about the company and my personal experience in this follow-up video. The expert network industry is a super dynamic and exciting space to be, and some other companies you can look into are GLG, Guidepoint, Third Bridge, and Magellan Research Group.
I apologize that it took so long to post but hopefully, it'll be helpful for those of you applying or interested in the company now. Happy Holidays!
Love,
Ally

I recently applied for one of their Japanese-speaking associate positions! I'm sure as someone who grew up in the US you can relate but in your training in preparation for transferring to Shanghai office, did your training cover any business Chinese? As a Japanese person who grew up in the US I am definitely fluent but I feel that my professional speaking could be improved upon and I'm curious if any of this was included in your NYC training.

Hi Ally, I enjoyed watching your video regarding the AlphaSights! Thank you for uploading this video! I am currently waiting for the interview with them and I just wonder the question about "career goal for this position". Do you have any suggestions to answer this in right/better way?

Thanks for the awesome video! I recently got accepted to a Client service position in Tokyo 2022. But I'm kinda worried that my interests (international relations/politics) won't line up with the list of things you said I should be passionate about. I'm mostly joining them to earn enough money to get a master's in Public Policy.

@@verslaflamme666 yea, it seems like they’re hiring a bunch of ppl (tbh low-key worried at how much they’re hiring because that might mean the turn overrate is super high but idk). For me, I took part in this one day internship thing, so I skipped the phone interview. But I had a phone interview for the internship, which was half Japanese half English so I think the normal phone interview would be like that as well (and it was only 15-30 min). Other than that, it was mostly English except for the case study interview, where you had a brief test call in Japanese to present one of your cases (but again it was probably less than 3 min or something, not that big a deal). And yea dw abt your language skill during the interview, because my Japanese also became a bit rusty, especially after college. Good luck and let me know if you have any other questions or something!

@@fumafuma0323 thank you for sharing all this! yeah it seems v likely that the turnover rate is high... May I ask if you’re applying from japan or US or? It seems like they do the interview process differently based on if you’re applying from Japan or not so that’s why I was stressin about how much Japanese theyll test.

Tip to improve your professionalism: the unnecessary 'likes' in your speaking style (I counted over 50) will lead to you being disregarded in any boardroom meeting quicker that any content you present. If you want to learn how to eliminate them, count how many you use when speaking in recordings versus writing. If you need an example, listen at 3:46 - "...but (like) when I was working in their physical office, they would always have different (like) fun caterers come in - always really *liked?* celebrating the holidays - it's not LIKE a toxic culture. (fourth one is ok) It's hard at first but it's pretty important Ally - I've had multiple CxOs express to me how difficult it is for them to listen to this speaking style. Good luck to you!
