I really enjoy your videos, it seems like you are the only one doing this for free online. It helps a lot to get all of this information. I am a second-year student at a community college planning to transfer soon and, largely due to your help, I have secured my first internship at an investment bank this Summer. Thank you for all the help and I hope to see more videos soon!
Hi Christopher, that's amazing news! Congrats and thank you for the kind feedback! I'm glad to know that my content is having an impact somewhere in the world. I'm sure your internship offer is well deserved. Keep up the great work! :)
@@AfzalHussein I also had an idea for a video topic or if you were able to explain this to me it would be of great help for the future. I wanted to know how to secure an insight week position at an investment bank. I have searched a few investment banks and I haven't seen anything that says insight week or anywhere to apply for it, it just all seems to be for an internship. Thank you.
The dice question: total outcomes are 6*6=36, desired outcomes (dices equaling 9) are (6,3), (3,6), (5,4), (4,5). Thus, the probability is 4/36 or 1/9 which equals 11,11 %.
In doing this question it made me think. Couldn’t 5.55% technically be the right answer. I putting a spin on the brain teaser lol. It was never specified that the dice were two separate entities. Perhaps Dice 1 and Dice 2. By that logic, a (3,6) would just be a (3,6) or a (6,3). It is one in the same. I feel as thought most people would think of them as two separate entities, however, if it’s two identical dice isn’t a 3 just a 3 no mater what ?
@@brandonmalarney2956 If you had two dice, you would think of the probability of rolling a 3 on the first dice and the probability of rolling a 6 on the second dice, equaling the tuple (3, 6). For the tuple (6, 3) you would roll a 6 on the first dice and a 3 on the second dice. Since you can have a (3, 6) OR a (6, 3) you would add these two probabilities together (i.e. 1/36 + 1/36). This is actually analogous to one dice being rolled two times, except the first roll would be analogous as the first dice and the second roll would be analogous to the second dice. Therefore (3, 6) and (6, 3) would not be the same entity and you are only accounting for one outcome either (3, 6) or (6, 3)
I’ve been benefiting from ur videos for a long time. You really helped with my internships and academic choices. Keeping updating and I’ll keeping following u!
Hey Afzal, uni student atm hoping to get that cover letter structure ;) 1. Not too sure as I'm not from London but I'd wager that given the around 9 million population and the decline in telephone box usage, maybe 1 per 5,000 people so around 1,800? 2. I see three options, firstly if square cube law applies and the blender is open I would just jump out. If not then given I'm as tall as a coin I would just lie down and likely be untouched. Otherwise I suppose try to unscrew the blades so that I am out of harm's way. 3. 9--> 3+6 and 4+5 so 4/36 or 1/9
Undergraduate university student at a non-target, with my first Superday coming up! #1: Telephone boxes in UK -- Never been there but can assume they're used more often and I've seen them a lot in movies/pictures near intersections. So, I'd assume there are maybe 10,000 intersections in the UK with telephone boxes in maybe every other intersection so around 5,000? That's my thought-process. #2: Shrunk in blender -- I doubt I would have the strength to unscrew/open any parts under 60 seconds, so I would hold onto the middle part in between the blades where I won't be killed by its sharpness/fast movement, but could get slapped with some ingredients, and wait it out until the machine is done blending. Then once the ingredients are poured out, I'll slide out the blender. Thanks for the great video!
Helpful Video Afzal, is the answer to the dice question 8/36. Only 3+6=9 and 5+4=9. 2 dice, so two of 5 ,4, 6, 3 making 8 numbers in total. 6x6=36 giving the total amount of combinations.
For the blender the blades dont often reach the side so i would try to get to the side also as a 1 pound coin is thin and the coin would go to the bottom i would stay there as the blender won't reach the coin
For the telephone question: If I were the urban planner of London, I would ensure there are at least one public telephone box in each busy street. That is also what I observe from movies portraying London. Suppose that the streets are of the order of 100 meters long, and are roughly perpendicular to each other, I would get one telephone box per 0.01 square km. The urban area of London, I guess, is of the order of 1000 square km. So the total number of public telephone boxes is about 100,000. For the blender question: To survive a blender, I need to make sure that I'm not there when it's turned on. Suppose that the blender is used regularly, I just need to attract attention of the user when he/she opens the cap. I can test the echo in the blender to find a pitch that resonates. When the cap is open, I can sing that note and the resonance will create big enough volume so that the person around would hear me. If the person is kind, he won't kill me. For the dice question: There 6 time 6 or 36 total cases, where the possible cases are (3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3). So I got 4/36 or 1/9.
I am a university student. For the 1st question: 1) >90% of the people now use mobile phones and smartphones so about 6% or less use telephone boxes. But the fact that in 1990’s most of the people didn’t have mobile phones so at that time telephone boxes were used a lot so based on that and due to London’s busy working environment I think there were about 60,000 to 70,000 telephone boxes. But since they don’t find it useful to keep up with the maintenance of these telephone boxes I think it’s depleted by 30%-40% so if there were 60k then it would reduce by 30% and if 70k reduce by 40% respectively which means now there could be 42,000.
I went into an interview for an analyst role at an insurance company not knowing anything about brainteaser questions. I was well prepared for the competency questions but when they asked "How many petrol stations are there in the UK" It threw me. I started going off on tangents thinking I'd have to work out things I didn't need to. I think how many x in y questions are so vague and unfair. Is there any other way to answer them other than " Proportion of amount of people in the UK as not everyone will use them at the one time.
Hey Afzal, great content man. I am currently an A level student in Year 13. I am looking to start as an apprentice in Audit at RSM after A levels. Some of your videos helped me to succeed at the assessment centres so many thanks for that
I'm a recent Economics grad. These videos are definitely helpful and thorough. It answered a lot of my questions, so thank you for that. If possible can you upload a video on technical interviews too?
Telephone box: I've never been to London but would venture to guess that there are 1 per 150 people. There are about 10 million people in London / 150 = 66k. I would imagine they are being phased out (?) and only 10% of that exists? 6k Blender Riddle: I would lie down to avoid the blade Probability of getting 9: to get nine the combinations are 3 & 6, 6 & 3, 5 & 4, 4 & 5. The probability of getting a 3,6,4 or 5 is 4/6. Then the probability of getting the side needed to make nine is 1/6. 4/6 * 1/6 = 4/36 or 1/9. 11%
Hi Afzal, I see you videos every week and I follow you on your channels! I really appreciate your advices and I think that beyond your video there is a huge and meticulous work and I admire you for that! I graduated in Economics and Business and actually I am enrolled to second year of MSc in Economics and Finance. I am convinced that university and the world of work are unjustly far away, and for this reason I believe that students must move in more ways, and following you is one of them. Thank you for your passion and see you in the next video! Gabriele.
University student on the last semester of my bachelor’s degree. Could you adress the topic of the prospects for people with a bachelor’s degree vs a master’s degree?
Great Content already, I'm a Student in laws with a economic Focus in Germany. How many Telephone Books in London Question: London has 8.8 Million citizens. I would guess the regular Person lives with a Partner and one child at the same house/appartment. Which means there are round About 2,7 Million appartments/houses in London. 50% of the Household have a telephonbook. and Maybe some bars and phone booths. So my guess is around 1.5 Million phonebooks. They Arent Pretty common in Germany anymore. Shrunk Question: I would try to unscrew the blades from the engine part. Roll two dices and get a 9 is 1:6. You got 36 possible Outcomes Overall, and there are 7 combinations to get a 9. so ist around 1:6
@@JonesDawg Thats a good question... I think I missunderstood the question. I calculated for 9 or more !so there is (3,6) (4,6) (5,6) (6,6) (5,5) (5,4) but I had a typo and meant 6.. As Afzal said, its not about the right answer, its about the thought process.. lol
To be clear, I was at the third round interview at a Buldge Bracket bank, nailed all the questions super quickly and did a mistake in the last calculation that I did not notice. never made it to the next round.I did not repeat this mistake for my next interview in the other Buldge Bracket
Hello Afzal, Could you please explain prime brokerage and how is it different from hedge funds?please help to share this Asap as I find your explanation very easy to understand n crack my interview.thank you in advance
Answer 1: There are approximately 9 million inhabitants in London, and I'm guessing that there where maybe half as many back in the 30's when I believe the phone boxes were introduced. 1 phone box per 500 inhabitant feels like an reasonable number, which leaves us at 9000 boxes. mostly going on instinct here, not sure that it's the right answer. What would you say is the best way to approach this question? Answer 2: I would probably either lie down beneath the blades, or stand in the middle of the mixer. Answer 3: The total number of possible outcomes is 36 (6*6). There are 4 ways of getting the number 9 (4+5, 5+4, 6+3, 3+6). 4/36 = 0.1111 = 11,11% probability. Would be pleased to receive that magical cover letter :)
I just got the interview invitation from multi bank group , the role is biz development manager, what do u think about this company and should I give a chance to try ?
Your videos are very useful ! I’m now doing a PhD degree and I’m thinking to apply for the Summer Associate Internship next summer. Do you have any information about what’s the difference between summer associate internship and summer analyst internship? How to prepare better for summer associate internship if there’s difference between the two. Thank you so much!
thank you afzal. i would love to have you take my place in an interview. your speaking skills are quite something. while my time at uni was some time ago, i am in the job market looking for a different career and your videos and knowledge are helping me. thank you once again.
Hello Afzal! Are the chances of getting a job there harder for people who studied outside the UK? For example I did my BA in Portugal, but currently, I am doing my MSc in the UK.
I wouldn't think so. However, it's usually a case of securing a visa that can trip students up. But from a qualification perspective there's no barrier. It's mostly about how strong you are as a candidate.
I'm a uni student as well! Thanks for the great content!! Pls do videos for the other questions and also the online assessment tests. Would also love the cover letter structure btw!!
Thank you so much for your videos Afzal, they are seriously helpful!! Please provide tips on competency based interviews. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Great video again Afzal! :) I'm a pre-university student, planning to take a gap year after finishing A-Levels this year. I'll be applying to 12 month trainee schemes for JPMorgan Asset Management & Columbia Threadneedle. What else can I do to make my gap year more effective?
Hi Afzal! Greetings from Latvia. Great videos! Here's my rationale for the first 2 questions: 1) I would check the population and area of London. After that, I would define approx. for how many people a telephone box is required based on a similar town in the world. Finally, I would spread out the telephone boxes in the areas of London by population density. 2) I would get down to the bottom of the blender under the knives in time (?)
Hi Afzal, thanks for the video. I am a masters student and would love to hear your tips on competency-based questions -which extra-curricular activities would best demonstrate them and how to diversify your answers. Cheers
hi afzal great content and high quality of your videos! i'm a university student. greatly appreciate if you could touch a bit more on the situational question! thanks for the effort :)
Hey Afzal, thanks for the video. I'm a second year accounting student at Queen Mary, University of London. Would love to get the cover letter structure. Thanks
Hi afzal great job with your YT channel. I ‘m appreciating every single video. I have a question for you . I’m a BBA student, in your opinion could a person get a well paid job after his bachelor in BA or I need to get Msc in Finance to improve my level and my future wage? Is there a positive correlation whit a good MSc in Finance and a well paied salary?
Hi, Mr Hussein, your videos have been very helpful and I would appreciate you making one on how to ace the competency and technical question. Hopefully, you can send me that winning formula cover letter. the answer to maths question is 1/9
Hey Azfal, I just finished my finance and economics degree and I am going to be applying to Citibank. Your Goldman Sachs cover letter would be really valuable to me. Ps: have been watching your videos since October 2020 and it has provided me clarity, in regards to what it’s like to work at an IB.
Could you please do a video on killer questions (such as what do you see yourself in the next 3-5 years, etc.) I find your videos really helpful so thank you for your time making them!
Dice 4/36= 1/9 as two unique outcomes 4 &5 and 6&3 to make 9 but because outcome doesn’t matter for each of those unique outcomes they can happen two ways 4&5 5&4. Unless I’ve missed something stupid.
Phone boxes: central parts have one roughly every 80 steps from experience which is about every 40metres but obviously become sparser the further you go out. London has a square area of about 1250KM so 40 rough average multiplied by 1250= 50,000 because they have been falling
Blender: are the blades ‘scraping the bottom’ some sit just above which would easily be enough space for a pound coin me.If not make my way to the very center where there is only rotation no velocity and spin( assuming it will stop eventually)
Hey Afzal, Assalam. Much love from Lancaster! I had watched a video from Anton Kreil where he pointed out how much *Net*income an analyst really makes. Which is well below impressive if we consider the after tax compensation. Im not sure whether youre aware of the video, but I would love to hear your take on his comments about how in actuality, analysts are paid poorly for the level of work you are given.
I really enjoy your videos, it seems like you are the only one doing this for free online. It helps a lot to get all of this information.

I'm a uni student as well! Thanks for the great content!! Pls do videos for the other questions and also the online assessment tests. Would also love the cover letter structure btw!!

I'm a pre-university student, planning to take a gap year after finishing A-Levels this year. I'll be applying to 12 month trainee schemes for JPMorgan Asset Management & Columbia Threadneedle.
What else can I do to make my gap year more effective?
Thanks! That's amazing! I think you're on the right track. Anything finance related or extracurricular on your CV will help you :)
I’m a University student. Highly interested in Finance and Consulting
Hey there Afzal, smashing video. Could you please do one on video interviews?

Hi Afzal! Greetings from Latvia. Great videos! Here's my rationale for the first 2 questions:
1) I would check the population and area of London.
After that, I would define approx. for how many people a telephone box is required based on a similar town in the world. Finally, I would spread out the telephone boxes in the areas of London by population density.
2) I would get down to the bottom of the blender under the knives in time (?)
answer to question 2 is to jump out. :)
I graduated last year :) but still looking for a good graduate scheme
I’d love a cover letter structure!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Afzal, thanks for the video. I am a masters student and would love to hear your tips on competency-based questions -which extra-curricular activities would best demonstrate them and how to diversify your answers. Cheers
Thanks for watching. I've added your suggestion to the list of videos to create :)
Thank you, thank you, Mr. Afzal
hi afzal great content and high quality of your videos! i'm a university student. greatly appreciate if you could touch a bit more on the situational question! thanks for the effort :)
Hey Afzal, thanks for the video. I'm a second year accounting student at Queen Mary, University of London. Would love to get the cover letter structure. Thanks
Situational Judgement Test Video Please! Thank you.
I'd like the cover letter structure!

I am an undergrad student from uni of Liverpool, got my master’s offer from Queen Mary University of London

Enjoy!
Hey Afzal, would love a video on competency questions
Hi afzal great job with your YT channel. I ‘m appreciating every single video.
I have a question for you . I’m a BBA student, in your opinion could a person get a well paid job after his bachelor in BA or I need to get Msc in Finance to improve my level and my future wage? Is there a positive correlation whit a good MSc in Finance and a well paied salary?
You can get a great job after your BA. MSc isn't required but is a common next step for those who might not have secured a role after their BSc/BA.
Afzal Hussein thanks for your reply !!
Good luck and tons of best wishes!!
@@eliamarmora2888 My pleasure! You too :)
Hi, Mr Hussein, your videos have been very helpful and I would appreciate you making one on how to ace the competency and technical question. Hopefully, you can send me that winning formula cover letter.
the answer to maths question is 1/9

Hey Azfal, I just finished my finance and economics degree and I am going to be applying to Citibank. Your Goldman Sachs cover letter would be really valuable to me. Ps: have been watching your videos since October 2020 and it has provided me clarity, in regards to what it’s like to work at an IB.
Could you please do a video on killer questions (such as what do you see yourself in the next 3-5 years, etc.) I find your videos really helpful so thank you for your time making them!
Will do! Thanks :)
Love the intros
Finance student at UF (3rd year)
Pre-uni ✅. Cover letter 🤞🏻
Telephone boxes: does this include working boxes only?
Dice 4/36= 1/9 as two unique outcomes 4 &5 and 6&3 to make 9 but because outcome doesn’t matter for each of those unique outcomes they can happen two ways 4&5 5&4. Unless I’ve missed something stupid.
Phone boxes: central parts have one roughly every 80 steps from experience which is about every 40metres but obviously become sparser the further you go out. London has a square area of about 1250KM so 40 rough average multiplied by 1250= 50,000 because they have been falling
Blender: are the blades ‘scraping the bottom’ some sit just above which would easily be enough space for a pound coin me.If not make my way to the very center where there is only rotation no velocity and spin( assuming it will stop eventually)
Or because you mass/gravity ratio would of decreased just jump out
Hey Afzal, Assalam. Much love from Lancaster! I had watched a video from Anton Kreil where he pointed out how much *Net*income an analyst really makes. Which is well below impressive if we consider the after tax compensation. Im not sure whether youre aware of the video, but I would love to hear your take on his comments about how in actuality, analysts are paid poorly for the level of work you are given.
Nice video
Thanks!
Why ask why?
Nice Video
Thanks!
