It's a common misconception that everyone in banking enjoys vast wealth and luxury. However, the truth is far more nuanced. My views prior to joining the industry compared to having experienced working in the industry are starkly different. Watch the video to find out why. Enjoy!

To succeed, it's like the survival of the fittest. You have to be in the industry for a long long time and then you will be highly rewarded for sticking it out. It really isn't for everybody, and that's ok. All the points you made are so true.

Great insights. Lifestyle creep is a killer. The most important lesson is, as you say, to try rid yourself of the trappings of "keeping up appearances" and trying to match everyone else. Just do you - once the money is gone noone that's important will care about what watch you're wearing.

I remember my VP at one of the top 4 banks. I have been only at 3/4 of the top banks right now. This I could not forget, that a person who makes ~250k with bonus and equities still struggling to pay their mortgage and financing 2 cars. I was like how? What are you doing to not manage your exp!

@at7915 11 ай бұрын

250k is kinda rough for a VP

@Mrslykid1992 11 ай бұрын

@@at7915 Thats back office. But the hours is 4 to 6 hours per day. While working in the front office is the opposite which can be avg 12 hours a day. So it depends on what you want. More cash for more time. I have been on both side. I learnt front office is those who want to be noticed and back office is I have a life and still making bank. Front office is all throughput too. So you can deliver today and the next delivery needs to be even better. Really depends what you want.

It’s quite sad that even in the finance world, where you’re exposed to managing and growing money, some struggle to do that with their own. I hope I don’t get caught up in this 🥴

@PandaWithNoName 11 ай бұрын

personal finance is a lot tied to behaviour and the culture you surround yourself. Being good at managing and growing money in the corporate world is a different skillset to doing well financially unfortunately

Most are broke in London. VP at one firm i worked at went through 3 divorces. Lost all his houses and equity portfolio and just working to pay kids fees. Insulate yourself for divorce. Hide money in crypto and other assets. Just in case

Really great insight Afzal. It is not uncommon so see those in finance living pay check to pay check, with significant expenses on going out, travel, designer items etc. That said, to each their own and it may be the case that they value financial freedom less.

In banking industry, there are many roles making far less money but under similar pressure, such as IT and some back-office operations. Their situations are even worse. Especially for IT people, don't be cheated by the wall street names. They can make much more in tech companies with far less pressure. 😊

Hi Afzal, Which are in your opinion the areas of finance most suitable for someone with a master's in Economics with a great focus on econometrics but bachelor-level finance knowldge? Need to choose some electives for next year :) Thanks!

Hey @AfzalHussein, I was wondering if I could request a video on Product Strategy/Client Solutions/Analytics roles in Asset Management, as well as the compensation, bonuses, and exit opportunities. This group not exactly managing portfolios or FO, but it's also not exactly classified as back or middle office. I would love to learn more about this group in Asset Management!

Just think about it like that: If you make £150k pre-tax and get £75k post-tax and work on average you will earn £18.02 per hour (after taxes) - Is that worth it?

@tawanamukasa9498 11 ай бұрын

Yes but think about it proportionally. Compared to everyone else you are still making signifactly more. People who make £18 PRE tax are also getting paid significantly less post tax

@sbIvanov 11 ай бұрын

@@tawanamukasa9498 No doubt! But you can simply take two full-time jobs that are 40% less demanding than the IB Analyst position and you will easily make good money if not more and keep your sanity :)

if i stay at home for a year to save a dp, but commuting 45 mins each way, will i be at a disadvantage? been thinking a lot about the tradeoff giving im starting in S&T?

@dean391 11 ай бұрын

45 mins is average especially if your coming into london, most people do around that and with S&T you will probably be doing some long hours. So, under an hour to get home is a great addition!
