Why is there such a big comp difference between the US and UK? I’m from the US and I’m always baffled by low London bankers get comped 40% under NY bankers.

You get to sit on your ass and profit from destroying businesses whilst not even being able to pronounce the word "pantheon" properly? The UK is doomed

From $38k to $46k that's the minimum range of profit return every week I think it's not a bad one for me, now i have enough to pay bills and take care of my family

I went into the wrong career.

Great place, but too expensive for normal people.

How do you this is true

3.7£? That’s it???? That’s only like $5mil …. The median in Upper East side in Manhattan is like $13.8 mil which is a little less than £10.5 mil

Would you go in the Hamilton Straight again or was one of the other stands that you tried better?

Nice video

Great video ❤

Apple Europe is located there

can i ask what my best bet is if i am a 30 year old and want to get a job as a private equity analyst? i graduated with a degree in Adult Nursing 2:2 from Kingston University, no previous finance experience

Some people, who don't actually work in CW, say its a bit sterile and soulless. Personally, I like the corporate aesthetic and love having an office there.

I’m an East Londoner and I’m old enough to remember when Canary Wharf tower was the only skyscraper there. When the area was being developed the people of Tower Hamlets (the borough in which the development sits) were promised luxury housing and jobs. Suffice it to say the housing was too expensive and the jobs mainly went to people from outside Tower Hamlets. So this area is pretty much only for high earners and it completely lacks the character of other areas in London like Camden Town, Covent Garden, Borough Market, Brick Lane, Spitalfields, Shaftesbury Avenue, Soho, Shoreditch, Greenwich, Clapham, Brixton, Richmond, Notting Hill, Hampstead Heath, Stoke Newington etc.

Lol and it's so weird that Malaysia decided to invest into this place. It'll definitely generate negative income for them 😂

Who pays back the debt, the firm or acquired company

Hi, I am a computer science student and I have a question. For the placement year did you do any certifications (e.g. from Microsoft or Google) before applying? I am not so sure about the requirements. What I do know is that my university told me to work on my CV/portfolio. Do we need some sort of prior learning e.g. a certificate from the likes of Microsoft or something similar etc?

Can you make a video on the salary progression for those working for the Big 4 Consulting Firms please?

I have a question, what are roles in banks that need tech experience and python knowledge, because i am interested in both finance and tech

Finsbury Circus👍

Nice video! When did you record it?

Hey Jacob! I'm a non-native English speaker, and I'll be coming to the UK for my master's. I want to work in Private Equity. Do you think having an accent would be an issue for this job? Do you know anyone in a similar situation

Hey Jacob, your videos are really helpful can you just give me your linkedin profile so that i can connect there.

🔥vid. and just so you know gherkin and walkie talkie r two different buildings

Some notes which I think may help interns & newbies: Recommend the following for working in London in financial services: Clothes - get a navy jacket (that’s everyone) - it goes with everything, any time, anywhere Evening clothes or corporate event clothes can be hired if needed Timpsons is currently doing free dry cleaning for those who are unemployed (includes students) & going to an interview. Go to your local store with proof of an interview eg email with appropriate interview clothes and you’ll get it done for free. For your desk drawer: Ensure your desk drawer has a secure lock on it that works. Lock the drawer at night when you go home Spare home key Always keep a pen that works in your jacket pocket. ALWAYS. Never a biro A notepad for that first meeting Spare chargers A spare shirt or top - in case you spill drinks over the one you’re wearing Kitchen towels, paper tissues, clothing wet wipes Raid the stationery cabinet - spare block of paper, pens, pencils, rulers, eraser, notebook, bull dog clips If there’s a whiteboard, ensure the marker & eraser work Familiarise yourself with how the phones work & ensure you have a sheet with the team phone numbers on the wall An umbrella A bottle of water A bag of nuts in case you have to work through lunch Print out your work on a Friday - always say it’s a draft until it isn’t. Plasters Toothbrush, toothpaste and comb Cash (about a tenner) A torch An up to date passport - keep details elsewhere in case you lose it If you’re going on a flight, print out a copy of your boarding pass in case tech fails at the airport Call/email payroll to ensure they have your name, ID, National Insurance number, P45 if you have a previous job (without it, you could be charged emergency tax) & bank details so you get paid soonest Copy & save your expense receipts, check limits, exemptions and cut off date. If you’re asked to courier out a client document, check with the courier company that it has arrived. If so, call the client’s secretary to say it has arrived, it’s urgent and that reception/post office/security should bring it up. Let your line manager know that it’s arrived. Most couriers deliver to offices on the ground floor when the recipient could be on the 22nd floor. If you don’t do this, your urgent client document may go through the regular postal system & take about a day to arrive. Clients prefer paper documents that they can hold in their hands and scribble all over them. If a group photo is taken, the most important person (the big boss) will be seated in the centre. Try to take up the seat relatively close to your manager but don’t, of course, be in the centre. The least important people in a photo are at the sides. Chin up, chest up, slight angle towards the centre & look straight ahead. Hands clasped in the lap & no arms folded. The most important people in the office are: IT - If they’re in house, make friends with the IT people & show them respect. If they’re located in the building, buy them a coffee, be on first name terms & check in with them for when system upgrades occur usually on a Monday when it’s most inconvenient. Call them first thing Monday morning and you’ll be served first. System upgrades can take about 2 hours. Also, they’re helpful with tech presentation set ups. Everyone bows down before tech these days. The clients. If they’re happy. Your boss will be happy. Small people. Be polite and friendly to security guards (spare keys, prompt package deliveries, duplicate passes & keys) & secretaries (gatekeepers for meetings). Your line manager & everyone else in your team. Useful for a reference. Good luck!

Fun fact for you. The father of Elizabeth Holmes of the bankrupt blood-testing company, Theranos, was an executive at Enron.

Jacob. Shocked at how few comments there are here. When you’re working, I’d aim to save at least 6 months’ gross salary in case there’s a downturn/recession or to walk away if you don’t like it (FU money). This assumes you can go back to live with your parents, of course. If not, a few months’ more money would help.

Only if you must, Jacob and 2 years max.

Be the child of a client. Easy.

You are boring

Banger as always 🔥

I define it as a corporate investment banking kingdom😂 LME, LSE is major financial institutions for world economy

I’d be surprised if that area ages well.

How is it to study International Business in lbro ?

I don't understand why this place is so expensive. 1 beds are renting for well north of 3k pcm which is insane even for London standards. You're not near the city center, you're south of the river, and there aren't really many companies there either. If you want a nice modern area with luxury apartments, why not go to Canary Wharf which has a shorter commute into the city, more jobs, and is cheaper? What am I missing?

Dam it looks so cool + And clean !

The issue with Canary Wharf is there’s no actual community there it’s literally just a place for people that work there

Great job here 👏

Great video mate. Are buy side particularly hedge funds located in canary wharf

Great stuff matey! Always informative 😊

Thanks for the little tour, and I’m happy to see that Giles Gilbert Scott’s power station has been saved and transformed. I haven’t been to London for 34 years and look forward to seeing new developments like this when I return in 2025. Seems like I’ll have to bring plenty of cash, though.

I've been a few times; not a fan. I think it's emblematic of the worst traits of London

You missed the fact that Apple European HQ is above the shopping centre all the way to the top.

London is so expensive. The price of these apartments is extortionate. 1.5 million for a 1 bed is beyond the means of most people from the UK. I would imagine this entire development is marketed for the foreign investor. If you factor in the crime and general anti social behaviour in Battersea or South London generally, the developer will struggle to attract the wealthy clientele. 14 years of Conservative rule has ruined the reputation of London.

Man, improve your English. I know that it is colloquial talk, but you said “There is lots and lots of apartments here”. Is English your first language? I presume not….

Love the complex. However the Peabody housing association responsible for most of the shared ownership round there is criminal.

That almost looks like the built up Battery Park in NYC!
