Hey I’m also an Eagle Scout, looking for VC analysts right now 😂

[@benito91kumbirai26]

Thanks for the vid and the resumé.

[@thebowlingchannelnetwork5182]

Ja Goldman Sachs is a good investment bank they create jobs with investing.

[@Assenre1494]

Thank you for sharing your resume. What year did you start working at GS? I don't think your resume would've passed the ATS system that we have nowadays.

[@faresmarzouk3742]

@@Assenre1494 I approve

[@jpcedits]

Jesus J, your personality is so likable and your video get so high quality and direct. Finding this channel is like finding gold, I guarantee that your only fighting against time here because your channel is destined to blow up. Thanks for all the great information.

[@CebiGreen]

Totally agreed!

[@aadadadada21311]

This video appeared randomly on my feed.. Not even in the finance industry but I learnt alot!! Great tips, good speaking skills, excellent video! Props to you sir

[@jayhoovy]

Thank you so much Ian!! That means a lot! Really appreciate the support :)

[@azharimanakunova5449]

Same! Just appeared on my feed! And now I am watching this video

[@mattmooreexperience]

I’m starting to wade into that murky water of looking for another job (different industry), and your confidence and personality really hit me. Just the kind of inspiration I’ve been looking for. Thanks dude.

[@jayhoovy]

You got this Matt!!! Cheers!

[@maemii]

Your video timing couldn't be more perfect, very informational and the fact that the way you storytell made this video so realistic. Love it can't wait for more!

[@jayhoovy]

Thank you Mae!!! Hoping all my future videos can help you too!!

[@DavidSchwartz-r5e]

Taking the time to try and reply to each comment isn't lost on me. Shows a lot about your character and that you care. The hard work and experience will serve you well in all endeavors including your youtube channel. Best of luck!

[@jayhoovy]

Awww I appreciate the observation + kind words of support David! Cheers!

[@mm345-0]

I'm not a target for your demo, but your advice is really applicable across various industries (eg. replace Goldman w/ Google for Tech). Any position that requires a lot of human interaction, deep technical/domain knowledge, and will most likely be a lot of work but open other opps. Great video!

[@jayhoovy]

yes!!! my advice is really just "care about other people, develop genuine relationships, and work hard" - it translates everywhere!

[@Sam-kp2ly]

Lmao, yeah, definitely comparable lifestyles. Yeah.

[@Henrycult]

Very interested in IB, this video was amazing! This being “your first video” Is shocking! This was the best video I saw all week!

[@jayhoovy]

Wow, thank you Henry! That means a lot to me!

[@zenith_journey]

Clear concise no waffle. Loved it. You articulated a lot of ideas I had to floating in my head, now I feel focused.Thanks

[@jayhoovy]

Excited to see you crush it now!

[@Galbra1th]

You crushed it John! Happy to see you back on YT. I thought your comment about just being human in your interviews is so important and often overlooked. I always say in my videos that both people in an interview want the conversation to go well. No interviewer (hopefully) goes into it wanting the conversation to be awkward. When you remember this it’s so much easier to build rapport and make that connection! Great tips! Although I’d have to say as someone at JPM that Goldman doesn’t ALWAYSSS get the best deals😉

[@jayhoovy]

Appreciate you a ton Cameron! Thank you so much for the support. And yes haha, JPM crushing it too :)

[@IncognitoFinance]

Nice to see you here haha

[@eldritchfloatie7196]

I really hate it when recruiters says that shit. Of course interviewers want the conversation to go well, but not for the sake of the interviewee, but for the sake of the position being filled. The interviewee has much more at stake here, and anyone saying they are looking foward to this situation or they are having a good time as well either have the rare privilege of not NEEDING the job or they are lying to themselves.

[@JK-vc7ie]

That's not really true. More than a few interviewers intentionally try to make the situation uncomfortable.

[@Diegojnicolas]

Your ability to communicate ideas is amazing! You look like a veteran in this space. Keep up the good work

[@jayhoovy]

Hi man ! I like your video very much, and I didn’t specifically look for it and searched it. And interesting thing is I don’t even work in finance or analytics however I made some notes and wrote down some tips you mentioned, as they were so useful . Good luck

[@mongryong6318]

Your video popped up randomly on my feed and glad I watched it till the end. Very information and great tips on the interview process, especially a place like GS where many think it's super tough to land a job, but you break it down to make it feel very achievable.

[@jayhoovy]

You've got this!!!

[@sidestepdigital8719]

God damn, not even in investment banking or financial world but love the story energy and vibe. Actually useful step by step tips.

[@ckathini1]

Love your channel and insights! My son who’s interested in finance, will definitely appreciate this!

[@sxy2378t]

The experience in Investment bank really depends on department and personality, most are good at corporates, especially in IBD. If someone wants to control own future, such as trading, then it is a totally different story, someone is really a born top trader. IB is more of a sell side job, and not much about take risks and get rewards

[@aena5995]

can we do a masters in data science after bachelors accounting finance minor in business data analytics or is business data analytics better idk what tf to study lmao

[@rgseven6557]

Jay, you are doing a great job by sharing these pointers with us. Thanks a lot for what you do.

[@archkender]

Great video! Though i am not in your particular industry, i think you bring up really good points on how to interview successfully and land a job. I've worked as a management consultant over 15 years and the points you bring up are very valuable, even when you have been in the job for many years: - Always have your technical skills current and strong. Genuine understanding and application of the skills are what you need to try and achieve as you transition from an academic setting to a work/professional environment. Unlike your particular area in finance, consulting pitches you against many clients who work in your subject matter, but have a varying degree of understanding. Being able to understand a topic means you are able to articulate your advice to a crowd with varying degrees of technical skills. Be confident but be careful that you don't come off as condescending. The little old ladies who have worked in the job for 30+ years hold considerable sway in the organization! - Be human: even if you are an introvert, you can learn to be sociable. It'll may make you exhausted, but is a skill that can be learned and improved upon over time. Clients and employers appreciate someone who can hold a room and avert crisis when they always arise. It also goes without saying that you really need to keep a positive outlook on things. - Cold email/calls: Guess what? At some point, you will have to reach out to people you don't know. Even as you move up the ranks, you will need to reach out to other folks including executive sponsors and C-level individuals as you run your projects. As you become more successful, you will likely be pulled into a sales-support role. Knowing how to be an asset and assist in these efforts are very important to your career growth Great video once again. Subscribed!

[@archkender]

And kudos on your positivity. This is THE key to success: a genuine desire to reframe things as positive even though it may be painful at the time you go through it. Though you should be confident in the decisions you made at the time, there is always room for improvement.

[@jayhoovy]

Arch!!! Loved your thoughtful reply and I really appreciate the kind words. Cheers! And I hope to provide you more lessons learned from my entrepreneurial journey that you can use as a management consultant

[@chaejeong01]

Absolutely love your content John! I think establishing your identity FIRST through introductory content that gives context to your channel would help viewers who stumble across your channel (and not via Tik Tok). Only after then if you expand and segment into different content streams (ie banking, starting a start up, etc), I think it would greatly help viewers have a clearer and more linear understanding of you and your story.

[@jayhoovy]

Oh wow, thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback Chae. When you think about Introductory Content that does well, especially in terms of my story, do you have any suggestions on what kind of content I should make?

As a content marketing manager, this feels so real. I have worked on weekends too, and the client's don't tend to give the entire information before asking us to complete a project. Once you are done, then they tell what is required. I mean what.
