Just come across your channel and it seems so real and to the point with a trustable, ambitious personality. I’m worried about my future as I don’t feel I’m prepared for graduation this summer, any advice for someone with Biochem?
just purchased, cant wait to get reading
💪🏽💪🏽
I love this video brother. So much clarity, nuance, spirituality and direction involved that seems brief but was far from it. Rather, informative. Thank you for this brother, May Allah bless and reward you and help those who hear this message, Ameen.
Ameen. Thanks and likewise my bro!
Thanks for this video brother. You have no idea how many lives you’ve touched 🫡🤝
😄🙏🏽🙏🏽
May Allah bless you bro, you’ve done a lot in educating people about the industry
Thank you bro 🙏🏽
Big 32 Ayyy !!! great advice, very informative, and Thank you for sharing the wisdom.
🙌🏽💪🏽👊🏽
I've been watching your videos since my senior year in college and you helped me land my first job. I'm currently working in operations at a bank and trying to move to a front-office role. Bought your guide on Asset Management to help me better understand the business. Thank you for all you've done!
Love hearing these stories. Grateful to have played a small part in your journey. Hope you find the guide useful and all the best with the move to front office. Routing for you 💪🏽😉
I love this shit man. MORE
I got you 😉
Thank you very much ive just purchased the guides and hope this will be able to help I am now 22 and hope to adapt this my existing political career.
Pleasure. Good luck! 😊
love the new sort of content - 2nd year student here, keep it up!
Thanks! 👊🏽
Started in the building engineering field then moved into the family business of label manufacturing and self adhesive labels, and enjoying every day of it. All I can say is to be patient.
😊
Hey Afzal, great adivce! I got the premium plan but couldnt find your CV and Cover Letter for GS?
Hey, thanks. The bonus was for the first 200 people. Please reply to your order confirmation and I'll get the GS files over to you early next week. 😉
Been following your content for about 4 years now. Can say that the finance related videos have really helped. Would like to see more of these general life advice/ fitness vlogs if you can.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
there are literally millions of fitness videos here on youtube
Bought the career guides and they’re definitely of high quality but I’m also liking the new direction of the channel. Wish you a successful 2024!
That's what we like to hear! 💪🏽👊🏽😉
You should do a video about compliance careers
Already done. Search 'Afzal Hussein compliance officer' and you'll see two of them.
Hey Afzal, I wanted to ask a question regarding the career advice you mentioned. I recently got an offer at UBS for internal auditing but I would like to do asset management like you one day. Do you think I can leverage my experience from IA to AM? Thank you for this insightful video!
Hey, take the offer if that's the only offer you've got. A better option would be to work in operations or risk as they can work closely with asset management, whereas internal audit has no connection with asset management whatsoever. Either way, the best way to increase your chances of a move later on is to make sure that you're a top performer in whichever role you end up doing. Don't get stuck there. Keep an eye out for new opportunities. Be ready to move after a year or two.
Please do share more videos about your exit strategy brother. I'd love to hear the intricate details of what and how you did it.
Been with you since 2017 Afzal, you absolutely helped me secure an apprenticeship with Kelloggs at the age of 18. I am now 22 as of yesterday and have 3 of the biggest Fmcg companies on my CV. I understand that corporate may not be for me and so I decided to take a side step (or most in Fmcg would call it a back step) in my career to allow me time to work and think about my ventures. I understood that if I was to climb up too fast within my corporate career, then it would consume most of my energy, physically and mentally.
I'd love to get further advice from you in a 1-1 setting. Can you facilitate this?
Thanks for all that you're doing bro, keep grinding🙏💪 alhumdulillah always
Hey man, sounds like you know what you want (very rare these days). Thanks for the feedback and glad I've played a small part in your success. Fill in this Google form: forms.gle/TPoch8ESVdknrnx96. For more context go on the 'Community' tab on my TH-cam page and see the latest post 👍🏽
@AfzalHussein done!
As someone currently on the spring week grind I would love to hear about your decision to leave finance for entrepreneurship. It’s always something I’ve thought was cool but never felt like it’s a safe option. What are your thouguts
Lots to share on this. A video for next time 👍🏽
Best speaker we had at InvestIn (as well as basically my neighbour 😂😂). Just bought the career guides, all have interesting titles looking forward to reading.
Yo! Thanks haha. Hope you're keeping well 👍🏽
@@AfzalHussein yes I’m well, how are you?
All good, thanks. You still working at Nuffield or did that end a while back?
@@AfzalHussein I do the occasional shift like once a month but not much as it’s year 13 a-level prep time. Would be nice to catch-up
Fair enough. Makes sense. Email me on afzal@careerguides.io.
Alghamduliah !
💪🏽💪🏽
Glad to see you are doing well my friend!
😊
I had an elder sis..
But now I also feel like I've an elder brother who can advise me for my future, especially as a Muslim..
Love it brother. Keep it up. Your videos are much more useful for me ❤😄
💪🏽 Means a lot. Thanks! 🙏🏽
Today is actually my 22nd birthday! Thank you Afzal
Happy birthday Matt! Have a great day and decade 😉
@@AfzalHussein Thanks a bunch! Thought it was crazy this showed up in my sub box today of all days :)
Afzal, I am 27, I got back to university during COVID and my commerce degree allows me to take finance, accounting, HR and much more.... but I ended up choosing operations management. Now I am feeling loss and fearful about the earning potential. Operations interests me a little bit more than finance, because it covers other topics like people, process, and IT. But I don't think it earns as much as finance or accounting roles. Plus I got in a good school and I don't want to blow this opportunity to waste. How should i go about?
Did you Write the career guides yourself?
Do the courses require prior knowledge? I'm in undergrad business school...
They're not courses. They're pdf guides for those interested in breaking into the respective fields. They require no prior knowledge.
More videos on how to walk away from a corporate job please!
How can I have a discount on « the CV I used to get my goldman sachs offer ». I want to buy it!
You get it for free with the discount. See pinned comment.
Nice video. Could you maybe do a video on Islam and working in finance industry. Would be really interesting to know how it was for you🙂
Thanks. Added to the list.
Try brazilian Jiu Jitsu or wrestling, bengali khabib
😄😄
Dang it you got me stressed about the life partner thing
Sorry lol.. Don't stress, just keep it in mind. Nothing to stress about.
Easy. Buy a tonne of Tesla and Navidia stock then retire on a beach 😂. Seriously far more above statuts of VP of global markets or wherever 😂is your own health, family, real close friends, wealth and happines.
😄😄
The light in the back is disturbing me ngl
Useful feedback. Thanks 👍🏽
Bro i didnt get a single spring week am I cooked? 💀
Nah man. Defo going to be harder for you. But best bet is try get some experience over summer even if it's not industry related. Next year start applying early to internships. Apply for back office, non-ib industries like consulting, etc. Spread your eggs across various opportunities and industries. Bolster up your CV. Main thing is to get into the interview room. You do that by creating a solid CV and cover letter (I've done vids on these). Then you can start focusing on interview prep etc.
@@AfzalHussein thank you brother
Routing for you 👊🏽
Can I message you privately and get advice on career?
Hard for me as the list of requests is too long. Sorry! Hopefully I've made a video on the topic already.
