My first finance internship interview was with an ex army guy in private equity. He grilled me bad and bragged how smart the current intern was I front of the two of us. Didn’t get the offer but I made sure I prepped for every interview after that moment. Promised myself afterwards I would never go into banking, now I’m going into research. Life is funny sometimes. 😂😂
Kind of a funny story. I use to work in transaction advisory (Quality of Earnings). During one of my first in person meetings on a sell side deal, I was asking one of the owners son’s (who was prob in his late 20’s early 30’s) if he was a shoe collector since he showed up in yeezys, thought it would be a good ice breaker since he was in on the meeting on behalf of his father. Not a good ice breaker at all. My team, and him and his team just looked at me confused and in awkward silence. He then proceeded to say, I buy them because I can and asked me to proceed with my questions list… lol
I remember in one video you mentioned, that you wouldn’t be one of those channels that would continue to upload IB videos after you quit IB lol. Love the content tho!
Hey Bryan, any advice on how to be successful while applying to early IB-related experiences like the JP Morgan Early Advantage Program, especially when you do not have much experience in the financial field?
I think it's important to show interest - I also assume if they are a decent bank they recognize that someone who's 18 is not going to have professional financial experience
Thanks for sharing this haha! Makes me feel a whole lot better for when my socially awkward ass was interviewing for IB and PE. At least we gave a shit 😂
Someone in an interview wished me good luck for the next round and I said "good luck to you too." Luckily there were no long awkward moments because it was a virtual interview. I'm gonna have a ton of these awkward interactions soon when I start full time My time on tiktok taught me this amazing trick. Try to remember someone else's embarrassing/awkward incident. Usually, you can't. So they probably don't remember you either
@@TheBryanJun i meant the midle office. I saw im Goldman sachs investment banking divison, there is imvestment banking operations. I was curious as to what they couldn't find any info about it.
@@prcbbm3523 Ops is completely different from the IB division, you will mostly be assisting S&T desks in functions like Product control, Trade support, Trade validation, Confirmations drafting, Chasing, Matching etc etc. The salaries are peanuts as compared to what FO makes, expect 40-50k
This reminds me of the story where I dropped an entire cup of coke between my thighs right in front of the partner…that was the first ever social event I attended as a full time
One of my first client interviews, the client, an uppity chap, offered a cup of tea. Nervous about the interview and uptight client, I knocked the cup of tea on to the guy's brand new forest green carpet. I then took my paper napkin and began rubbing which of course shredded the napkin on that brand new carpet. I panicked, and mumbled something about cleaning it up. He too is panicked and yells, "Oh no leave it alone. I'll take care of it." Any wonder why I never did any business with that guy?
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.
A robust strategy is crucial for any investor's portfolio. When it comes to making high-stakes decisions, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward, and it's wise to seek guidance from seasoned professionals.
@@TheBryanJun can I ask which, if you don't me mind asking? I'm just curious about your journey and how you got to where you are now. Thanks for the light-hearted video, this takes away so much of the anxiety of mistakes I'm sure to make as well haha.
You were an analyst at Lincoln for 18 months, still in diapers from a banking experience perspective, hardly able to voice any truly valuable experience. Keep it real
you should do a weekly vlog like you do on your Korean channel
dude you're hilarious man...i'm genuinely glad that not everyone in banking is super serious all the time. love the vids dude keep it up
Thank you!

Hello Bryan. Could you please talk about the role of investment banking operation analyst and their salary?
Thank You
Idk if you mean ib analyst or if there's something that has operation specificity, IB analysts now make ~100k at base

Hey Bryan, can you share with us your schedule for next week?
Hello Bryan,
I would like to ask what type of investment banking analysts were you? we're M&A analyst?
Yup!
Is it possible to shadow someone at Goldman Sachs by going down to the building and asking?
LOL honestly why not

That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this coach?
Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
HAHAHAHAH bro, for real... sometimes we gotta laught at ourselves
great stress relief
could u do a video about the things u did to prepare for IB while in college. Like ur J.p. Morgan internship and so on
Yeah I have a video on it (I think my second one)
I couldn’t find this video? Any chance I could be missing something? Appreciate any help. Thanks.
You’re hilarious man!🤣
Thank you!!
wait so did you eventually get the offer from the bank - the analyst throwing u a pen????
yeah LOL became great friends with him actually
I remember I had a superday before and the one of the director's starting falling asleep /snoring in front of me (stress test?)
He mightve been actually tired HAHA
but hey, in the end you made it big. I guess one must go through all this to just learn "life". Loved the video.
Cheers!
Life is a never ending process of mistakes
