1 week as an investment banker in NYC

Hii! I'm going to walk you through a week in my life as an investment banker. it's really easy to get sucked into the glamorized version of banking that you see in media, so I'm showing you a raw & realistic week / how many hours I really worked.
Hope you guys stay for more videos :) Come join my journey as I navigate through the corporate world as a 23-year-old!
Lmk if there are any videos you want to see next :)))

It makes a big difference if you can find teams that will grind during the week to try to avoid all weekend work. When I was in banking I preferred working those extra 8 hours you worked on Sunday spread over the week (so let’s say 1-2am) and then getting 2 full days off. Also this is why targeting banks/groups with good cultures is so important.

[@angies_listt]

Yes I agree with this 100000000%%%%%

[@BeingRealSavage]

@@angies_listt I wanna marrry you, and settle in that country, I also do a job in corporate bank

[@BeingRealSavage]

@@angies_listt you look good though

[@LivingLifeFully-fn4xm]

This is super unhealthy long term. Please take care of yourself. Thank you for being so transparent. Being asked to work on Sunday should be illegal.

[@akkie7339]

[@JessLow-d3h]

[@angies_listt]

so hard to force myself to go when im dead from work 😭but I'm trying hahah

[@josephjoe2937]

literally dk how you do it 😭 rising sophomore at target who’s probably gonna get sucked into it but i’m just really contemplating if i can survive it

[@angies_listt]

yeahhhh going into banking i feel like everyone has a rough idea that it'll be a terrible work-life balance 😭 but knowing that it's only short-term suffering helps LOL. if you know what you want to exit into then it's worth. gooood luck with recruiting!!

[@goatlens]

@@angies_listt whats your exit plan? and how many YOE in banking before your exit?

[@mastpunjabi9480]

Your new subscriber. Please make a vlog about your education back ground and how you get this job, Thank you! :)

[@CHILLAXING]

Yoooo, I love these videos! Please upload more day in the life vlogs daily please :)

[@dennychow943]

F that. Very very few ppl will work these hours in America. They couldn't pay me enough. More power to you sis

[@vickira2268]

She looks happy

[@thinkpadx60]

IB is a mega bucks gig and career. So happy for you, all the best.

[@filmframes2512]

i know you're gon become a big channel one day, pls do make a video on your education

[@elizabethmaruyama]

I used to work with securities and asset management. I understand you really well

[@thomassangz9194]

Isn’t asset management a little bit better in work/life balance?i swear my Wife will leave me if i was an IB

[@elizabethmaruyama]

@@thomassangz9194 I believe we have pro and coin. But yes I agree with you. I can even imagine if I be IB was I still be able to go out dating.

[@Instavids763]

Please upload more videos

[@rahulsathe5887]

Really funny that statement was "Sunday is an official workday in investment banking".😂😂

[@shoke1729]

How much do bankers get paid working this many hours?! 😮 I only make 150k but work 35 hrs a week in a low cost of living state

[@johntru8301]

Do investment bankers typically get paid for working those late hours at home? Or waking up to work at 3AM? Any info would be great. Thankyou. 🙏🏼

[@angies_listt]

Nope we all get paid a salary-base. There is no overtime unfortunately 🥲(but interns do get paid hourly rate and overtime)

[@thomassangz9194]

@@angies_listtwhat could be the range of an IB salary base?

[@EliteGaming-ls5jk]

@@thomassangz9194 Entry level so analyst right out of college makes a 110-130 base depending on the bank and then anywhere from 60-100/110k bonus depending on performance.

[@UNKNOWN-1589]

These videos are so soothing lol

[@lillianruns]

Love these videos! Looking forward to more ☺️

[@angies_listt]

thank youu love youu

[@jarrett7774]

In your role, do you have any face-to-face contact with clients? Is there any sales/negotiating involved?

[@sophie3588]

lol same with my job! Last week worked 82 hour, this week 50 hours, next week 100 hours😅

[@max73652]

wow you made it to the top

[@unionash1]

Working on a Sunday? Thought that was only done in retail jobs

[@maddiehuttonjimenez]

do you think your paycheck makes up for the long hours you work?

[@plnm8011]

this is very similar to large law firm hours

[@monday2471]

is there a purpose or benefit to working this many hours? you mention a time zone difference with clients but there's also shift work. i know in europe this kind of work culture is taboo and the "always being available" culture is an american thing. it seems more like a hazing ritual or an "it's always been done this way" kind of thing, or a way to prove your dedication rather than there actually being any long-term benefit

[@hamhame5248]

Hello! New viewer here. Just wondering if investment banker do sales?

[@kl8581]

Do you take vacations?

[@lyndsayhammond6884]

How does the salary work? What is the incentive to work sooooo much?

[@pikaboy2686]

bonus can be up to 100% of ur base.

[@davidc4408]

What degree and university did you attend

[@ClaraWsfreedom]

do you live in flushing?

[@onevariable]

What a sad life!

[@emilyau8023]

You know what's even more sad? Being unemployed and having to use social security as a retirement.

[@SiimqlyBearx]

Ok..

[@archibaldharrison1891]

Right cause there is nothing in between THAT and being unemployed.

[@ManMan-ul1pn]

Why is it sad? Maybe she likes her job and it will prepare her for a career she wants

[@xikefocus]

Long hours, better get paid a lot.

[@aaryamansaini4421]

[@SahilSawant-td1pw]

Hey Angie , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .

[@tsiaotsiao3906]

Sad

[@jy-gd6fj]

youre wasting your life making money for other people, no matter how much you get paid its never worth your youth

[@harmonykor]

what degree do u need to be a investment banker?

[@r.d1571]

This was a really good overview. I can see why people are so heavily invested in this career and the high burnout rate.

[@PadmaK-dd4ee]

Hi Angie, really luv ur videos, but I too want to become an I banker just like u, what is the best bachelors degree in The US to take up, to pursue IB,just to be sure I am still in high school

[@georgecazac3543]

it's very bad.. basically no life

[@williamronald3857]

I loved working for an IB remotely. I could wake up when I want and go to the gym when I want. I have no problem working the rest of my time!

[@NoName-ql1wk]

Waste of a life

[@jonathanb4764]

Yea, no offense, but F that. Don't care how much money you're making - it's not worth it.

[@joeBX53]

I am tired of these martyrs thinking they are somehow special…what nonsense.

[@Davos-st8ok]

How interested are you in this line of work and what sort of exit opportunities are you looking at?

[@chickenceiling]
