Investment banking can be quite lucrative if you know what you're doing, but it also comes with its fair share of risks.

[@Stephenrogzyyy]

That's true. I've dabbled in investment banking myself, but I prefer to leave the heavy lifting to the professionals.

[@GregoryNoah-j4o]

Speaking of professionals, have you guys heard of RPC Wealth? They've been managing my portfolio for the past couple of years, and I've seen significant growth in my investments.

[@pengily_emi]

RPC Wealth, you say? I haven't heard of them before. What sets them apart from other advisory firms?

[@ParkerRoyce-ni5pw]

Well, for starters, RPC Wealth takes a personalized approach to wealth management. They tailor their strategies to fit each client's unique financial goals and risk tolerance.

[@SantosCliff]

Plus, they have a team of seasoned professionals who are experts in their field. They use a combination of traditional investment strategies and cutting-edge technology to maximize returns for their clients.

as a soon-to-be school leaver, im applying to several degree apprenticeships and i did a trading simulator recently where i showed a lot of skills mentioned here and you have crafted a really good video which showed how i can utilise the skills i learnt in applications to appeal to recruiters. thank you so much

[@AfzalHussein]

Good stuff! 👍🏽

[@T.Green.]

Thank you so much. This is such valuable information

[@amalpm7986]

Could you do a similar video for corporate banking/Asset Management/Wealth Management?

[@AfzalHussein]

Sure!

[@teetee3576]

It's not related to this video, but i hope you do your take on The Industry TV show season 3 once it becomes available. I enjoyed watching your videos. 😊

[@ashwinrebbapragada7626]

Really good points! Thanks for sharing. The skills and qualities you mentioned can be applicable to other industries as well.

[@AfzalHussein]

I have a great passion for the markets and investments. But I am a career changer who would be trying to enter the industry in my late 40s. Is that highly unlikely, as recruiters only want younger people who they perceive to be more energetic and malleable? If so, than do you have any ideas on other options for someone in my situation who's interested in markets and investments?

Hi; do you know where spring week applications are? I can’t seem to see them on any of the websites

[@qlf4076]

Great video thank you. We would be interested in a similar video for summer interns. I understand that all skills would apply, but if you have any tips on a summer intern level that would be great. On our level (summer) there is a chicken and egg effect where we require work experience within the field eg corp finance before applying to the IB summer. In those cases, how can we build up and communicate our knowledge beyond work experience? I would like to boost my CV targeting ER. Do you have online resources other than forage etc to help us? I have 1 experience in FX in my first year of uni, president of an investment society, founded an equity research group with my mates, 1 in ER in my second year, now moving to my 3rd year of university. I am unsure about what I would like to do in the future but having an unrealistic profile for IB (both internships taught me so much but they were in small firms), I think my profile may be more suited to ER as a stepping stone into IB in the future. Could you/people please give me their opinions on that front?

[@chillnation2442]

Hello Afzul, which university do you reckon is better for investment banking out of university of Surrey and university of Aston.

[@casualsender2316]

Where’s the Industry videos?

[@octam5409]

You need all this ….. even with no experience ?! Bro is this a job or the Olympics 😂

[@AfzalHussein]

😄

[@octam5409]

@@AfzalHussein can’t lie brudda been struggling with these job applications so I appreciate you for making this kind of content….made over 700 applications and still going

[@AfzalHussein]

700?! That's a lot. Good going. Make sure you're improving each application. Something will land soon 🤞🏽💪🏽👊🏽

[@janellesamuels3385]

Great video. I believe point #8 was the most poignant. Employers can’t resist passion for the field. It the Trump card in my opinion. I had helped me land Finance jobs after bombing the technicals!

[@CarlosRosario84]

Thanks for the continuous update! I am super excited about how my stock investment is going so far, making over $32k weekly is an amazing gain.

[@SubbuNair951]

Do you invest with a professional broker? I would appreciate it if you could show me how to go about it.

[@CarlosRosario84]

As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Elizabeth regina nelsen is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessment, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.

[@CarlosRosario84]

Thanks to Mrs. Elizabeth Regina Nelsen's time in my life, which had a profound impact on me.

[@ThiagoPinho153]

Any specific guide. I'm from Georgia how do I go about this? I think I'm interested how can I get in touch with mrs Elizabeth Regina Nelsen.
