Afzal, this is an underrated video. You did a great job providing insights and tips on how to be a good analyst. What's great about this video is that it's not just relevant to investment banking- this video will be very helpful to any graduate analyst in other industries. I'm glad you highlighted that soft skills are key i.e. listening skills, organisation skills, communication skills, punctuality, networking, commercial awareness. All the best for the future.

Good insight. Main lesson: Don’t be a sucker and devote your whole life to work, especially in such an industry. The smart thing to do is save your money whilst working in the City. Get enough capital and then venture out to fulfil your own goals/dreams. That’s exactly what I did. Now I have time to be with family/friends & travel. Man it feels good to not have to wake up to an alarm clock or be unhappy on a Sunday evening! (Used to work at Canary Wharf for 6 years in a similar environment)

My sister was recruited by Goldman from Bucknell in 1998. She started as a foreign currency analyst. So it was boring and s*** crunched a lot of numbers, talk to traders, many of them were fixed, however the benefits, the pay, the perks, the parties, the bonuses all that s*** was amazing at that time. My graduated from the University of Vermont in 2001 and moved in with her in the city 2 weeks before 9/11 and she might have still been at One Liberty plaza. And she was on her BlackBerry constantly

Most managers (7/10 )at Fortune 500, 50 etc. companies I had are terrible communicators and learned the skill for their job via job training and favoritism (kissing butt, colorism and not being an immediate threat to a managerial VP via credentials ). It sounds like at Goldman They really value development and does use there plan to develop rather than judge an punishment ppl.

What the fuck do you think investment banking is? It's nothing more than kissing butt and "colorism" Maybe at lower levels you can talk about "skill" but how do you think the money is brought in? Do you think a CEO/CFO of a company gives a fuck whether GS or JPM or MS or whatever other fucking bank is doing their merger? They don't. It's based on the relationships of the MDs

Hi Afzal, i am stuck in transnational finance roles i.e. accounts payable, accounts receivable, any advice on how i can get out of this and become a finance analyst or venture out into different roles such as investment banking etc. Many thanks and appreciated the video.

This was hilarious, these guys have a fancy name for everything. You wanna go for a cup of coffee with a college, you are doing internal networking. You wanna move up in your career, they don't say kiss ass, they say expand your external network of communication skills with other departments. Wanna get drunk and have fun? Yea, you should probably work on your social skills and improve in that area. I haven't seen a video so entertaining in like forever.

Hi, i’m debating whether to go into consulting or banking and one of the big turn offs is the job security at IB firms such as GS. Is it true that a lot of people get terminated after a few years? And if so, I would like to find out what you are doing to cope and meet deadlines etc. Thanks.

Hey! I would suggest applying to both types of firms and seeing what you end up getting. Keep in mind that all companies have various divisions/areas, some of which are less 'secure' and others which are 'safe'. My advice would be not to worry about job security and just get stuck in and try your best at the role you end up with.

when you say that part of work has to do with personal development you made it seem like its something you did during your work day, but it seems like you have so many assignments that i find it hard to imagine where you find the time to work on all that and also network. Is the personal development something you do over the weekend? otherwise i thought it was a great video thanks so much!
