Would you please make some videos on investment banking courses such as financial modelling, advanced excel etc.? Only suggest us which kind course we should have to earn for non finance students for getting towards the investment banking career 🙂
In the final stages of applying for a Spring Week in Investment Banking at Barclays. I have done the most I can to make my CV stand out, so fingers crossed; I get offered a place!
Amazing! Good luck! Keep us posted :)
Hi Max! In which month you applied for Barclays? I couldn’t find spring week at Barclays this year. Thank you in advance!
One of the most informative and useful videos. Thank you very much, sir!
😊
Thanks so much for these videos ! Very helpful :)
Always a pleasure! :)
Loving all the uploads !!
Thanks for subscribing and being a part of the channel! :)
#afzal congratulations on 10000 😍 more to go
Thanks 🙂
Thank you! Means a lot :)
Hey Afzal. I am in my 2nd year of the bachelor in economics. I have a dual study programm: 3months internship, 3months university...I have a company which sponsors me, but its not in the financial sector. I do a lot of self studies at home, e.g. modelling or qualitative analysis of companies. Not only bc of interest, but also bc I am investing. My only chance to make an internship is after I completed my bachelor. How would you rate my chances to get into IB in GS?
Hi Afzal, thanks for this video. I’m gonna be one of 3 spring interns at Citi Private Bank and will have an AC on the last day. Any idea what this would be like? And is it possible for all 3 of us to get a return offer for Summer?
Hey, congrats and good luck! The AC will be like any other AC so be sure to expect a combination of presentations, case studies and most importantly an interview or two. Focus on company knowledge, commercial awareness and being likeable i.e. showing them that you're a good fit for the culture and organisation, sociable, easy going and have potential to carry out the role of an analyst to a high standard. It's possible for all 3 of you to receive return offers if the the team has headcount i.e. enough room for 3 of you to join. Don't worry about headcount. Focus on doing the best you can and you'll be more than fine! Keep an eye out for Sunday's video which will touch on ways to convert your spring week into a summer internship offer. Good luck with it :)
Thanks for that insight Afzal! Really appreciate you taking the time to write that. And yes, I have my post notifications on, always!
@@MarkSmith-bz3ls always a pleasure! Thanks! :)
Hi Afzal, I don't currently own a suit, where best should I buy a suit that's affordable? I'm assuming I'll need more than one.
Is one suit enough for a one-week spring week? I have 4 different shirts, 2 pairs of shoes/belt and 3 different ties but does it look sloppy if I come in with the same suit everyday?
yes. 3 minimum. sorry
Hey, it sounds like you have enough shirts, shoes, etc. which is great. It's not the end of the world if you only have one suit (if I'm honest it's fine and no-one will notice as you'll mix up the shirts, etc.), though having at least 2 suits would be ideal (they don't need to be extremely expensive or designer). Don't go out of your way to purchase lots of garments solely for a spring week. You should definitely have a few suits for your summer internship next year. After all, it's unusual for a first year university student to have lots of suits. You won't look 'sloppy' so don't worry. Good luck with it! :)
What if I roll up with my dad’s Patek?
Let me know what happens, if anything..
Hi Afzal, I recently got an offer from the lse and after advice from multiple people(including yourself) I’m trying to get experience in finance/IB. However as an a level student(in wales)I am struggling. I am wondering if experience with a financial advisory ‘firm’(highly likely I can get experience) is worth it? The FA is successful however is not very big.
Hey, congrats on your offer! I would highly recommend you get as much experience as possible. Regardless of whether it's finance related or not, or whether it's at a reputable company or not. You need to build your CV so you can receive interview offers when it comes to applying to spring weeks and internships, etc. Experience is the currency! Hope that helps :)
Afzal Hussein Yep, great thanks
It is important where you worked, but the most important thing is what you have done during your experience so you can write it on your CV. As Afzal said, take on every opportunity you have as the most important thing for you right now is to learn, explore and build your CV.
Good luck!
