Hi All - As announced in this video (bit.ly/3eduRGS) I’ve launched a Career Consulting / Life Chatting “Service” where I’m meeting people virtually for 30 minute sessions. I’m continuing to make videos and answering every question I can in the comments as always and live streaming every Wednesday at 10pm EST, but this is a good opportunity if you’re in need of individually catered advice. If you’re interested, please fill out this form forms.gle/LRdnvX7inZWYoBrj7 Looking forward to hearing from you!
Im a finance student at University of Illinois Chicago and none of our professors ever talk about what you will LITERALLY be doing on the job. This was very helpful.
You've really hit the nail on the head here! I think your channel is going to do really well! Everyone wants to know what goes on in IBs. Great video, looking forward to thanks next one!!
This was a really helpful video! I’m currently an undergrad in Finance and have two years left and I want to go ahead and get my MSF as well. I want to go into investment banking to get to private equity since getting into PE without IB is fairly difficult. I liked hearing about your days because it gave me more insight and you did a great job explaining.
I’m so happy to found your channel! Such a gem!! Currently working in an investment bank that provides m&a. I can relate and so helpful at the same time. Anyways I’m literally binge watching your videos! ☺️
You have really informative information mate. I plan on getting into investment banking too. I understand that you went to target school, which is great. And it's awesome that you get to experience the lifestyle of what the work is like. I think it's really interesting. I currently work at the largest retail bank in Australia, and when I finish my degree in Finance in less than two years, hopefully I can make that transition. The two areas that I'm really interested in are DCM & M&A. Something about being a part of deals that are worth so much money, and literally assisting the economy in terms of expanding through deals and underwriting debt for interest. Cheers anyway, Hope you get plenty more subscribers!
Thanks man you really opened the knot of complications about investment banking, really helped me to acquire information about it,nice video keep it up👍👍
How do you handle the stress of your job? I am 1 year in to an investment management job and my hours are closer to 60 hours a week and i always feel burned out. Can't imagine banking hours
About to finish my last year of BS in Economics. I am currently a banking teller, what are some ways to break into the IB industry? Thanks for the vid btw
Hey buddy! Thank you for sharing about Investment banking! Quick question, how are the employee performances being rated? How do they see how well you are working inside?
I'm graduating High-school in 2 months and am going to uni for business economics. Its always been a field of interest for me and I plan on going into investment banking. Any advice
Bryan I have an interest in finance and I want to be a trader . I knew nothing about investment analyst. But now I am sure it’s not for me :) I really liked what you said. The names mean nothing. Tell me what you actually do. Hehe
I'm sure each bank is different and definitely more different for BB vs. boutiques - but overall make sure you're learning everyday, look at what senior analysts / good analysts are doing and try to imitate them. Ask questions in the beginning and try to not ask the same thing twice!
This is interesting, I will love to invest too,, does she have a WhatsApp? Please send the number... or never mind , I will reach her with the email now
I am one of her beneficiaries. I don’t know how she does it but she is the best in the field. I have lost and always loose money initially in the market until I met Catherine. It has just been profits all through. With $500, I have up to $6500 worth of bitcoin in my portfolio.
thank you very much for explaining what investment bankers do and why this wouldnt work for me. I hate talking to clients, hate calling people, hate emailing people, and hate scheduling meetings. much respect for people who can handle this stressful job.
Is this a position that involve a lot of unsolicited cold calling? Like you have to go out of your way and pretty much reach out to people and be like “sell your company”? For example, I work in retail banking and I hated outreaching to customers to generate a sale..is that something you do? Another example of what I’m asking using your tinder expression; would you have to go out and find “singles” and you have to sell them on why they should sign up?
Please answer this, I think you did in the video. I apologize. So if I got 1 million dollars, I come to the investment bank and I make a bid? And that’s how the process starts? I don’t deposit the money?
Bryan haha couldn’t get off your channel, loved it ❗️ I saw it and thanks for the response. You’ve helped me find my short term goals which will enable me to reach my long term. Once again thanks 🙏🏻 subbed. Keep it up.
Hello. I am looking for a career in investment banking in bulge bracket companies. Could you please advise how to go about it since your quite experienced? Looking forward to hearing from you
BB's are definitely a great start to any career. I would start by going onto forums to look at their recruitment timeline, etc. I will say the virus is definitely affecting everything right now so make sure to look into it extensively!
Hey brother! Great vid. Quick question. I’m currently working on my BS Finance then MBA and considering investment banking. Knowing what you know now, would you have done anything different or chosen a different career path (real estate, hedge funds, insurance) ? Thanks!
I think IB was the most optimal choice in my perspective - everything else you mentioned are also great options as well but the best pipeline my college offered was IB.
Hello Brian, I’m applying for a job as investment analyst intern. What information do you suggest I should review or looking up before the interview in order to land the job? Thanks very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, I have the same interest with you, can I have your email? I wanna ask some questions, really want to get the role as an investment analyst but still unsure on a couple things.
I'm heavily thinking into Investment Banking. Love the vid! Just some questions, what did you study and where? and anything specific to make it there? B.A or M.B.A? thank you man
I'm not sure what my plans are as of yet - I can tell you that getting an MBA is less and less of a requirement to move up within banking, but definitely still good to have if you're going to be in finance/business as a whole
Hey Bryan! I'm a Universiy student pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business administration and maybe later on a Master's. Would banking fit under these degrees or would you suggest a different one? I just finished my first year so I'm still open to new things!
i dont really hate talking to clients as they are strangers to me and im here for the work. i just hate meeting people for relationship and such.. how much is the average pay monthly for this job? if its high then ill probably considering this job!
Do VCDD decks get sent out with the presentation introducing the company to potential buyers? Interesting to see where the commercial DD part of the process fits into the equation ! Thanks for the vid.
@@TheBryanJun Sorry - vendor commercial due dilligence. It's a pack telling investors why the business is a good investment from a commercial perspective (market size + growth, competitive intensity, etc.). Usually a strategy consultancy would be hired to do this work - does that ring a bell?
Do you have a friend who is a financial analyst and maybe you can convince him to do a video lol. Or maybe if you have some knowledge you can explain? I am a finance major at Chicago State University and I have no idea what my career choice really does.
I think it'd be an overstatement to say everyone is working 100 hours every week I do think that being client facing as well as being accessible via smartphone / outlook practically 24/7, it can feel like you are working 90+ hours a week. I doubt that anyone in IB is working every single minute of those 90 hours thougth
Do you have any Miami University Alumni there? I heard that if I were to be lucky enough, I would most likely get an internship there because Miami has some connections there. Hows it going btw?
@@dbanddz you're fucked if you think this is a field you want to go into because it shows you've done very little research on the compensation/hours worked, opportunity costs and the toll on your mental and physical health. Investment banks are literally slaves being worked for a "nice name on the CV". Hedge funds is the way to go if that's the type of finance you're interested in. My question for you is this, if investment banking had no prestige and paid the same as any other job, is it what you'd do? If not, then don't consider doing it. Also you need to do a heavily quantitative degree to get into the financial world, something like stats, astrophysics or mathematics. But not business administration or finance.
such a good video. One of my best friend is in IB mid market sell @ Lazard in MN. I see how much he works and makes. Meanwhile I did enterprise sales nationwide for a tech company. Where do you start to get into IB as a “sales guy” ?? My amigo @lazard says they need business development guys??
Ah understood. In M&A deals are typically sourced by a banker, most likely a MD who has relationships with various PE firms or company owers that they've been tracking for a long time
Im actually into investments and numbers, this career could fits me, but what are the requirements for this position? Degrees? Or any other academic classes I need to take? Also how long did it took?
I would say you definitely need a bachelor's degree to break into banking. Nothing specific but finance courses will definitely help, but my thesis is that any major can be used to make a case for banking!
Hey Bryan, thanks for the great content--just subscribed. Just out of curiosity, on average, how many informational interviews do you take every week from students?
Hi Bryan I’m 17 and thinking about what degree to go into. I live in South Africa so I have 2 questions. 1) Do you think a degree in mathematics of finance instead of just a normal degree in finance is fine. 2) I want to leave the country and I believe this is the way I can. My father has quite strong contacts in the USA do you think through that and hard work I can get out the country and get into the USA? Thanks a lot!
I'm not sure about the international process, but - 1) I think that sounds great, if anything having a math concentration over just finance might have you stand out from the rest of the crowd. 2) I'm not sure about how that process works, but I would make sure the banks that you're looking at do sponsor internationals.
If by case study you're referring to something for an interview, I would focus on how bankers think about an M&A process, buyer universe, overall process, etc.
you need a mentor to guide you ,because you can't do it on our own, i can recommend my mentor to you if your are interested . send him message on whatsapp @ +12674954850
I wouldn't dedicate everything to IB unless you're super sure (which you really can't be in highschool) - you can always snoop around online forums etc to learn about the field from people in it rn to see if it's something you'll enjoy

It’s because most likely your professors never worked in the real world in their lives, they mostly likely have been in academia only.
Is your finance program good?
@@barsaa._. Uic has a pretty good business program imo, location helps
Hey, I will be applying there for fall 2022. How is the program?
Props to you bro. Good to see a nice investment banker. Usually finance graduates are pretty douchey, but you ain't one of them. Keep it up!
Really appreciate it!
LOL! I work in Corporate Finance in Africa. I have been called "douchy"
What the f*ck do you mean by "douchy"? F*cking a*shole! Oh... Now I get it...
You've really hit the nail on the head here! I think your channel is going to do really well! Everyone wants to know what goes on in IBs. Great video, looking forward to thanks next one!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Next one is coming on Saturday at 9am - stay tuned!!
You a baller low key. Allocation of resources, keeping markets efficient. Not one thing I'm skeptical about here. Great job man.
Thanks so much!
It's good you still have your sense of humor while doing banking. Usually, that job sucks the life out of you.
Hope it lasts as long as my career..
Great job breaking it down, I’m tuned in!
Thanks for the support!
great vid dude - thanks for the ELI5 video. Very easy to understand when you explain it. Keep crushin it!
Thank you!
I like this guy. No pretentious crap just cool and realistic. Subscribe to this channel.
I try my best!

I’m so happy to found your channel! Such a gem!! Currently working in an investment bank that provides m&a. I can relate and so helpful at the same time.

Thank you so much!
Thank you for posting this video, it's really helpful. Good job at breaking everything down and making it accessible.
Thank you so much!
You’re funny, I like it. Didn’t even realize it was your first video hahaha
Thank you so much!!!
You have really informative information mate. I plan on getting into investment banking too. I understand that you went to target school, which is great. And it's awesome that you get to experience the lifestyle of what the work is like. I think it's really interesting.
I currently work at the largest retail bank in Australia, and when I finish my degree in Finance in less than two years, hopefully I can make that transition.
The two areas that I'm really interested in are DCM & M&A. Something about being a part of deals that are worth so much money, and literally assisting the economy in terms of expanding through deals and underwriting debt for interest.
Cheers anyway,
Hope you get plenty more subscribers!
Thank you so much, hope all is well in Australia!!
Hey! I’m also from Australia too (Brizzy! Currently studying eco and finance at UQ - it’s my first year tho!)

I heard Morgan Stanley heavily recruits from Baruch College in New York for IB.

All I heard was lots of parties involved. Who's the DJ at these parties bro?
Haahahhahahaha haven’t heard that one before

Binary options trade is more profitable and reliable

It's much really clear than others to describe about investment banker. Greatt 👍👍
Thanks!
Thanks mang. Great vid.
Thanks!
About to finish my last year of BS in Economics. I am currently a banking teller, what are some ways to break into the IB industry? Thanks for the vid btw
Hey buddy! Thank you for sharing about Investment banking! Quick question, how are the employee performances being rated? How do they see how well you are working inside?
it's quite subjective tbh
I'm graduating High-school in 2 months and am going to uni for business economics. Its always been a field of interest for me and I plan on going into investment banking. Any advice
you explain things really well!
Really appreciate it
Bryan I have an interest in finance and I want to be a trader . I knew nothing about investment analyst. But now I am sure it’s not for me :) I really liked what you said. The names mean nothing. Tell me what you actually do. Hehe
Bryan! Loved the video - I’m starting as an Analyst in the Investment Banking Division at a BB in a few months. Any tips or advice to succeed?
I'm sure each bank is different and definitely more different for BB vs. boutiques - but overall make sure you're learning everyday, look at what senior analysts / good analysts are doing and try to imitate them. Ask questions in the beginning and try to not ask the same thing twice!
What education did you do to quite the job
5:22 What you doing with your hands bud??
Hahahhahahahah I'm awk
Thats very clear, thank yoy Bryan for the honest sharing !
Appreciate you, bro. I’m an entrepreneur in the making and I was curious to know how I go about getting businesses. You answered it. Appreciate you
Adres Gonzalez Someone told me I should get into bitcoin. Can you tell me a little about it?

Nice scam.
This is a dope video. Keep it up
Thanks so much!!
Is the hours actually 80-100 hours? I only really see people talk about those hours in the NYC area
I have a video on this!
@@TheBryanJun Can you link me to it please or tell me the title??
What are your thoughts on going into investment banking with a business administration degree?
very possible
thank you very much for explaining what investment bankers do and why this wouldnt work for me. I hate talking to clients, hate calling people, hate emailing people, and hate scheduling meetings. much respect for people who can handle this stressful job.
Thanks!
Love your voice and videos. you need to teach a lecture one day you explain this so clearly !
Thanks so much, really appreciate it
how do you recommend to get into investment banking coming from a non target school? any certain career path? majoring Econ and accounting
Is this a position that involve a lot of unsolicited cold calling? Like you have to go out of your way and pretty much reach out to people and be like “sell your company”? For example, I work in retail banking and I hated outreaching to customers to generate a sale..is that something you do?

How hard is IB? Thanks for the video btw! I really love your channel :)
It's a lot of work but depending on your aspirations (steady income, prestige, buyside opps) it's worth the work!
Delivery owl, that's funny 🤣🤣 thanks for uploading your experience
Glad you enjoyed it
What do you mean by middle market? What is that? Can u make a video of it?
my first video ever kinda explains it but it's loosely the companies that fall between enterprise values of $50 million-$1 billino
AYE 🔥 this was very informative and specific! Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it!
this is really amazing. thank you.
Glad it helped!
Nice video Bryan. Just two quick questions, what are you work hours are like, and any tips on how to get my excel game up? Thanks
anywhere from 60-90 hours a week, I'd just practice analyzing data sets
Thanks for sharing in an entertaining fashion! New subscriber!
do you have any aspirations of joining big legendary firms like MS, JP, Lazard ?
Not at the moment, nope!
Please answer this, I think you did in the video. I apologize. So if I got 1 million dollars, I come to the investment bank and I make a bid? And that’s how the process starts? I don’t deposit the money?
"Lets gooOoO" made me laugh 😂 good content man appreciate it
Great explanation mate
Glad you liked it!
Hello, you may not see this but what’s the typical salary of an investment banker in their first few years? Also how many hours weekly?
My second video covers this in detail!

Thanks!
After your analyst position in IB, do you want to stay in banking or go to the buy side in PE or hedge fund
I genuinely don't know yet so many thoughts
Hey brother! Great vid. Quick question. I’m currently working on my BS Finance then MBA and considering investment banking. Knowing what you know now, would you have done anything different or chosen a different career path (real estate, hedge funds, insurance) ? Thanks!
look into the mortgage business
I think IB was the most optimal choice in my perspective - everything else you mentioned are also great options as well but the best pipeline my college offered was IB.
Hey Bryan, I just accepted a summer analyst position for summer 2021 in Chicago on a MM team. Originally from NYC. Any advice? Would love to connect
Chicago is dope. That's all I gotta say (you'll love it)
Hello Brian, I’m applying for a job as investment analyst intern. What information do you suggest I should review or looking up before the interview in order to land the job? Thanks very much! ❤️❤️❤️
Hey, I have the same interest with you, can I have your email? I wanna ask some questions, really want to get the role as an investment analyst but still unsure on a couple things.
Not sure if you said this but what college did you go to?
What would you recommend for someone aspiring to be a analyst? Any particular certificates they should try to obtain?
I'd say focus on networking and judging whether or not you're at a target school - no need for certificates prior to becoming employed
I would goto school for business management and get your bachelor degree . Business Management comes with finance , economics, and etc.
Bryan do you consider tilburg university as a Target school? It’s in top 10 Shanghai ranking for finance and business
I'm heavily thinking into Investment Banking. Love the vid! Just some questions, what did you study and where? and anything specific to make it there? B.A or M.B.A? thank you man
I studied accounting and business admin and currently have a B.A.!
@@TheBryanJun Thank u man! Are u planning on a M.B.A? Or is it necessary? Like do you get a cap on a B.A?

Definitely - watch my latest video which talks about majors as well
I did a language degree and now work in the hotel industry. Would there be a way into this industry for me without doing 3 more years of university?
Are you on LinkedIn?
Why u got a washing machine in your kitchen
It was a studio!

Do you plan on becoming an associate or a vp at your firm
Do VCDD decks get sent out with the presentation introducing the company to potential buyers? Interesting to see where the commercial DD part of the process fits into the equation ! Thanks for the vid.
I’m not sure what VCDD is exactly but my instinct tells me that we don’t include it during buyer outreach!
@@TheBryanJun Sorry - vendor commercial due dilligence. It's a pack telling investors why the business is a good investment from a commercial perspective (market size + growth, competitive intensity, etc.). Usually a strategy consultancy would be hired to do this work - does that ring a bell?
Got it. There’s definitely instances where market studies are conducted for the “industry” section - not sure if that’s similar.
“We are the tinder of finance”😭😂😂
Do you have a friend who is a financial analyst and maybe you can convince him to do a video lol. Or maybe if you have some knowledge you can explain? I am a finance major at Chicago State University and I have no idea what my career choice really does.
I'm actually curious what they do myself hahaha I assume a lot of P&L related work
Do you ever accidentally put your clothes in the microwave and your food in the washing machine?
HAHAHA
I see you act as sort of a liaison but do you spend any time building/updating valuation models, etc? Or performing market research?
Yeah banks do all the time as they continue to advise the client on the sell side
I know you messing around and all. But this was literally amazing content
Thank you!
I’ve heard the working hours in this job are ridiculous and some work 100hours a week is this really true?
I think it'd be an overstatement to say everyone is working 100 hours every week
I do think that being client facing as well as being accessible via smartphone / outlook practically 24/7, it can feel like you are working 90+ hours a week. I doubt that anyone in IB is working every single minute of those 90 hours thougth
Do you have any Miami University Alumni there? I heard that if I were to be lucky enough, I would most likely get an internship there because Miami has some connections there. Hows it going btw?

Thank you!
Is investment banking dying is it all moving to quant?
I wouldn't say so especially since the barrier to entry to quant is so high
@@TheBryanJun yeah but I would think over the next 10 years there will be many more people skilled in quantitative finance.
How beneficial and valuable is an economics degree in investment banking? I plan on majoring in economics.
I know plenty of bankers with an econ background, like I always say I think any major can be spun for banking!
Bryan even a business admin major??
