10 Signs Your Job Interview Went Well #InvestmentBanking #Students #GoldmanSachs - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
You're so right about what seniors ask. I am currently doing a full-time internship as Private Equity Summer Analyst. The managing director asked me questions about myself and why I was interested in their company whereas the associate asked me some technical questions.
I've got an interview in the upcoming weeks and this video is gonna be useful for sure. Great content!
Good luck!
@@albinlinder4525 thank you bro!
Amazing! Thanks and hope it went well! :)
Good stuff man. Thanks for your generous sharing!
Always a pleasure! :)
4:50 This video is bang on. This is exactly what partners ask, interviews with them (that are going well) literally feel like a conversation.
I agree with the ending of the interview. If had few interviews that when the hiring manager said they had to run to another meeting and I never heard back from them. But I also was given a business card and then never heard back.
Great Content! Thanks for sharing with us.
My pleasure!
Thought I should comment my experiences given how similar but also different they are. I've secured summer internships at a Big 4 firm and a boutique Asset Management firm. My big 4 interview was exactly like you say in the video - it felt like a great conversation and not just questions and answers. We overran too, and she was beginning to show off about the firm at the end, ie advertise the position to me.
My asset management interview was the complete opposite, however, and I came out really dejected. They left 15 mins for questions at the end and I only really had 10 mins worth. So it ended 5 mins early. Everyone else used the full time and I felt awful. The convo was also more questions and answers than flowing. And yet I picked my head up, as I still had a case study and group exercise to do. Somehow I got the place and the director who interviewed me told me on the phone how much he liked my concision and logic when talking. So moral of the story is: just keep persevering. It would have been so easy for me to let my head drop for the other exercises and had I done, I wouldn't have got the place.
🙌🏽👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Great Advice! Thanks muchly! :)
My pleasure!
Your advice is helpful!
Thank you great insight
I have a good failed experience which made me realize where I was standing at the skill of interview... The experience is really precious to me .. i learned a lot going through the failure!!! On the interview to find a job in the financial sector I just prepared only behavior questions,not questions related to financial knowledge I had in terms of the works the company performed... The interview totally fucked up... i screwed up the interview due to the poor preparation...folks,Be aware apparently what the company U applied is doing to maximize their profit!!!!
Great video!
This is a great video! I think I've hit most of the signs (going ~7 minutes longer, giving positive feedback when I asked comments on my performance, did small talks and chatted a bit on travel plans), but there're also some obvious bad signs (not replying to my thank-you note after being connected with the interviewer on LinkedIn, pretty incoherent interview questions, almost as if he was thinking of some on the spot, and I have some basic technical questions wrong). How should I go about my interview, and should I reach out to the interviewer again? I'm interviewing for an internship at a large financial institution for the context
Thank you so much for the valuable video. I had my interview with a government agency today, they said they will make a decision today, (but)will give me feedback late next week. ??? 2. They asked if I will have time for coffee catch up with team leader if successful. 3. They asked if I have left all the references contacts. 3 they asked my notice time. 4. Interview lasted 1 hours. 5. Never mention salary. How likely they they going to hire me?
Thanks once again Mr.Afzal, may I know what made you laugh in the beginning............ :)
Very informative
I did get the business card, but not the job offer!
I've had most of those signs in my latest interview... until I went for my second interview about technical questions and I kinda bombed it.
Hi Afzal The business card is so right, I had it recently the interviewer said he doesn’t have it and even handshake and look screamed no !
However my question; what questions to ask at the end like there are plenty online but some of them seem very not interesting - just for the sake of asking
Also, is it a good thing to tell them
You are interviewing somewhere else ? Or such information is irrelevant? If so is it ok to mention their competitors names or is that a turn off ?
Hey, do you have a video about the telephone interview sign?
I just had a phone interview (was supposed to be video) but anyway, how should I feel when the hiring manager seemed to wait for ME to end the interview?? She let me ask whatever question and NEVER indicated that she had another appointment or anything like that. So, after asking my questions, I just gave my closing and she said "it was great talking to you. I look forward to talking again".
Hi, so I just had a Superday, thinking that it was the last round. However, HR emailed me saying that they want me to "speak to more people..." What does that mean? Is that a good/ bad sign? Am I on the fence... thanks.
Bro, I come from a small town and people over here hardly know about investment banking.
I have submitted an application to Nomura which is in another State.
And they are going to ask me about what's in and out regarding investment banking.
Currently, I am pursuing a career in company secretary from ICSI. Have cleared foundation exam and Group-2 exams of CS executive.
Help me out to clear my interview, Also if things be well as expected, they would even pay me for completing my CS course.
I cannot ask anyone over here because as I told you first that I come from a small town.
I think that internet can connect me with guys like you.
Do post a video on what questions would the interviewer would ask and what he actually expects from applicants. Thanks for sharing videos.
I am so anxious after my interview. I feel like it went really well. Like you said they showed me around the place, introduced to other employees, handed me a business card, and were very engaged for the conversation. Its just so hard to know. I hate the waiting stage.
You'll get the offer.
did you get it?
@@amineeeee8 yes they sent an offer on Friday! Scary waiting period for my nerves though.
I got an employment application after second interview than once I submitted my application 2 days later rejected 😟
I’m in second year of sixth from and am looking to do financial mathematics in university. Do you think a bachelors degree(relevant) is sufficient when applying to financial firms? Or should you go further and do a related masters. Also, in your experience, what is the most popular degree in this sector?
Thanks for the feedback and great comment. A bachelors degree is more than enough - after all, grad-schemes are for graduates who have completed an undergrad. You're way ahead of the curve given you're in A2, so hats off to you. You should prioritise securing any experience you can at present in order to strengthen your current CV (maybe prioritise finance related experience first, and anything else second). This will help you land insight weeks in your first year of uni when you get around to applying, which will then help you secure internships in your second year of uni. Perform well on your insight weeks and you'll convert them into internship offers. Perform well on your internships and you'll convert them into grad-scheme offers. Start early, play your cards right, hang around the right people, seek the right guidance, stay true to yourself, help others along the way and you'll do well :) Most popular degree in this sector? Believe it or not, there isn't one. People have backgrounds in finance, geography, music, art, history, etc.
Afzal Hussein great thanks a lot. I’ve had these questions for ages and no one has been able to answer me as they aren’t in the industry. Any chance we can be blessed with 2 vids a week?
Why is it that when i practice at home i just cant seem to string full sentences together without stuttering or saying umm. Any advice. Do i need more practice. Some peoppe have the gift to just talk confidently on the spot but for myself it seems the words escape my mind. Any advice thanks
I had the same problem. Those 'some people' are no different. It's literally all about practising. Believe me. Don't overthink it all. Just have a basic structured approach and prepare well.
Yesterday I have attend a interview ..it is for 6 minutes. They discuss with me slry Nd argrment. Finally they told me in two days u will get a results through mail ..
So is there a chance for good sign ?
Bro can I ask for the business card ? So I can sent the thank you email ?
Can you please help out with CFA and Goldman Sachs recruitment for those CFA profile ?
Hey, what are you after?
If an interview goes badly, have you got any tips on recovery?
Depends what you mean? Always remember, what's done is done. Focus on moving forward positively. Imagine it didn't happen and do your best to be your best.
Got some really good information from this video, can't wait for the next. Side note - You're looking more muscular.
Thanks, and LOL! I need to hit the gym some more haha!
Hey Afzal, I hope all is well. i am currently studying Mathematics and Finance with a minor in Economics. I graduate this May. I have no internships under my belt. What can I do to differentiate myself and increase my chances of obtaining a position in the new analyst program?
Hey! Congrats on almost completing your degree! :D I would encourage you to take on any type of experience you can, whether its finance related or not, whether its extracurricular or voluntary activities. You need things to talk about on your CV. Don't just be a member of a society, take on a leadership role. Be tactical with your applications - it'll probably be tougher for you to get into a front office analyst grad-scheme role given your lack of internships and experience, thus you should consider applying to back office roles and smaller firms. Diversify your applications and don't just consider investment banks. You have time on your hands. Careers are 40-45 years long. It's okay to end up in a completely different industry after graduating and then moving into banking or something else later on. Don't rush yourself and don't worry about what everyone else is doing. Everyone is racing their own race and everyone has their own timing. Hope that helps. I'm sure you'll be more than fine! :)
@@AfzalHussein Thank you Afzal. I had a personal banker position but many people have told me the experience is irrelevant therefore I left it. Now that you mention it, I will try my best to look for a position similar to it until I graduate and network like a mad man!
I mean for a lower level company lower level position be this complicated
I have followed up mine today a week after my interview. They said they will let the applicants know mid to late next week, but they have not called my references yet. So I dont have high hopes.. :(
Patience is a virtue. Fingers crossed 👊🏽
What happened? Any follow-ups?
@@thomaslibbey5694 they said within this week. But not really expecting much. They have not called my references...but I have accepted it...
Maybe they judged that is not necessary to get in touch with your references
Wow you look good.
My interview finished in 7mins, got the offer
What's your qualification's bro
I feel like the long hours of a front office job in investment banking is slightly putting me off the career as a whole. How do you cope with such long days?
Look after physical health: Simple things like exercising several times a week, sleeping, and eating well.
Mental Health: exercise, sleep, meditate.
If you need to save time: don't ever cook for yourself, or wash your own clothes, buy food to be delivered to you, eat at work as much as possible, use dry cleaners or laundry place. Live closer to work. Ask for home access if it isn't given to you so that if you need to be out of office you can work from home if needs be.
Caffeine ( monster energy for me) , Adderall, Modafinil can help you maintain focus, but obviously legality, and consistent up and down stimulation of your nervous system could come at a cost to long term health.
I guess longer term deferred benefit of the hard work is increased standard of living, wages, social status, ability to date/mix with someone of a higher socio economic background, probably longer life expectancy that comes with wealth. + all the contacts you get with wealthy people and people who will be wealthy in the future (friends colleagues). Make the right connections and some opportunities may come your way.
You have to keep the reason why you want the benefits of hard work in your mind every day until you don't need to be reminded of it anymore, it's the future reward that makes you cope, and some satisfaction of doing a good job. You are sacrificying most of your 20s so that your 30s and 40s won't be a struggle.
I work in back office but a lot of finance jobs, expect a lot from people, not just front office ones.
@@zoecarlovic9723 I'm currently in a similar situation as yourself. I work in the back office of Barclays and I'm trying to get front office job as an investment banking analyst. I feel like I have a better chance if I try getting a job as trainee accountant or a job in audit, which will make me aca qualified and I then have a better chance of getting a job in front office of an IB. Is your goal to get a front office job as well, and what steps are you taking to get it?
That's completely fine, Ho Lam. Do something that interests you - what do you like reading about? You can usually get a good idea by paying attention to the non-fiction content you consume. If that doesn't help, I suggest you do something, anything, and see how it goes. If you like it, stay. If you don't, leave. Forget about what everyone else is doing and embrace the journey with an explorative mind :)
Hey Zetch, fair comment. To be honest, when I first started the hours flew by because I was learning lots and the work didn't feel like work. I never caught myself counting the clock as there was just so much going on that it often felt like I needed even more time. So long as you are challenged and kept busy, the hours won't be an issue. It's only when you realise that you've exhausted your work, learnt it well enough, are bored, not enthusiastic and tired of it all i.e. 0 passion or interest, that the hours seem long and daunting.
@@zoecarlovic9723 If you need drugs to work, it's not the right thing. Health > Wealth.
Is it okay to ask for the interviewer's business card?
Good question. I would say it's okay if you really feel like you both hit it off and got on with each other i.e. there was a strong rapport and connection between you. Otherwise, maybe avoid asking.
I got all these good sign of interview but results is I was not selected
The other day I had an interview and the person interviewing me *gave me a tour.* Do you think that is a good sign?
Most definitely!
@@AfzalHussein furthermore the interviewer deviated from the regular interview questions and asked me about my personal goals. He also mentioned that the interview went well. Is that a sign or just regular practice?
Total Social it obviously went well
@@therealgg13 Expected a "They send me an employement contract. Do you think that is a good sign?" next.
How likely it is for women to get into IB?
More likely than men as a graduate, due to soft quotas.
@@johngraham906 soft quotas?
Great video!
Thanks!
