So cool

[@Joeyleander27]

Really love these interview type videos - the information is key 🤝

[@KenjiExplains]

Glad you like them! thanks for watching Joey :)

[@andymarci6766]

Nice! I really enjoy these interview-style videos! You're becoming a big KZbinr now, I hope you don't ever forget about your first couple of subscribers!

[@KenjiExplains]

Appreciate your support guys!

[@Stephine-un5zs]

I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.

[@Elizabeth-mh2dj]

A robust strategy is crucial for any investor's portfolio. When it comes to making high-stakes decisions, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward, and it's wise to seek guidance from seasoned professionals.

[@Cinthia-gk3ip]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

[@MablePauls]

That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this coach?

[@Cinthia-gk3ip]

Just research the name Angela Lynn Shilling. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@MablePauls]

Thank you for the lead. I searched her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.

[@TheThomasmbajjwe]

Thanks lot for this upload, Kenji. Brilliant interview format as always. Matias was succinct and insightful. A video on the pros and cons of an IB career v one in tech at entry level (for non-engineering roles) would be interesting to see! Keep shining guys!

[@KenjiExplains]

Glad you enjoyed it! Will keep your suggestion in mind :)

[@_Mxy]

Thank you Kenji and Matias for this engaging and informative video!

[@Esteban-lq4rk]

Kenji so grateful to watch your videos i learn a lot of what is investment banking

[@TimMachineQS]

When you say accounting is necessary, how deep do you mean? Would being able to look at, interpret and understand the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and basic ratios be enough? Or would you need more than that?

[@rcuetojr1]

DUDE HOW DOES SOMEONE START BY SAYING THAT THEY DIDNT HAVE MUCH EXPERIENCE UNTIL THEY GOT TO COLLEGE? 99% OF FOLKS WHO ARE IN IB DONT HAVE EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY GET TO COLLEGE, UNTIL THEY START INTERNSHIPS 🤨🤨

[@dac8939]

Dude you should have been getting work experience since kindergaten and by high school they expect you to have been shadowing MD at Goldmans sachs and networking for Harvard MBA students. Then you are ready for an internship provided your extra curricular included at least 1 tour with the navy seals.

[@ayushpandey-lv4se]

@@dac8939 how could you forget working as a finance minister of the country

[@dac8939]

@@ayushpandey-lv4se Nah, that is for the admin team

[@iagbedejobi]

I was literally thinking the same thing. I think it may stem from finance recruits having parents/family friends in the industry/professional services and therefore being allowed to shadow or experience parts of the industry through those familiar connections.

[@vikramadityarathore97]

Hey Kenji great interview session brother , glad you remembered and made a video on this as per the previous suggestions made by me. Quite helpful this is! 👏

[@chrispachas8486]

Thank you so much! I have an upcoming job interview at GS and this will help me to pass it. Thanks again

[@willzinner8813]

wasnt expecting this kenji...I like the excel videos but this is also great

[@KenjiExplains]

Awesome to hear Will! More Excel coming soon :)

[@nwx1848]

I think I am in love with your smile Kenji

[@nihonpark7058]

thanks kenji for uploading such informative videos loved it.

[@Lamineb2b]

Good one. But I was left wanting more because the part about what it takes to do the job beyond the 100 hours and the will to do the job, I would have liked to know what soft skills you need to do the job. What kind of lifestyle do you need to have and what is the work environment in an investment bank?

[@michaelquach7046]

Awesome interview guys!!

[@KenjiExplains]

Cheers Michael!

[@camlex6310]

Great interview!!

[@KenjiExplains]

Thank you!

[@andreugiro2807]

Thanks for the info!!

[@iagbedejobi]

Great vid , ppl getting info from someone with xp is always great. Don't you think it's weird how it seems that working 100+ hours was normal? Can people really live balanced and healthy lives where they can maintain fulfilling relationships (w/friends, fam and community) if they work so much?

[@callumdabomb292]

not possible

[@tube.brasil]

100 hours during work days is 20 hours a day. Souds very unlikely to be true.

[@ChasingMyLiberty]

I heard Goldman Sachs fired a bunch of people. Can you give any input on getting an internship in London or other Western Europe finance hubs?

[@esaumaldonado6624]

Thank y’all!

[@KenjiExplains]

Thanks for watching!

[@anonje]

Can you explain what is the PVM ( price , volume , mix ) and how to analyses that . Thanks

[@thibaultauger766]

I passed the hireview at Goldman Sachs a few weeks ago, and I am now at the second round planned for next week. As I am only a junior and have had lot more general educations courses rather than finance ones; are the interviewer gonna focus on behavioral questions ? or we ll go on technicals that I don't know yet as i just started my third year of college? Thanks for the answer

[@nikomunk9639]

Did you get it

[@ErikaSterlin-jn7su]

Actually good question :) what was the interview about?

Well, I guess he did. He probably working too much for being on yt xD

[@maximilian3580]

how could one break into the capital market side of investment banking?

[@berniebeast]

Im a slacking senior, 0 internships, should i attempt at a summer internship or just try to get a part time job?

[@amazon1]

Both

[@denislegrand6237]

Hey, I got a little question that triggered me a lot : considering the actual crisis and all the crisis that will come ( climate crisis, social crisis, ...), how do you see the future of the financial sector in 10/15 years ? I'm 17yo and I really like finance and economics but is it still a good path to choose ?

[@laalaabaalaa4221]

What course needed after graduation to get the job in investment bank?

[@JeremyChristian-gk5zt]

What will my life become if not this professional broker Mrs Sophia Charlotte, you are indeed a great woman with the profits I am making. you really changed my family for good I will recommend you to people about your good work..thank you so much I appreciate ma..

[@davischarles]

With just a thousand bucks. my portfolio is worth much more now with in just a week of trading with her thank you Mrs Sophia….

[@jonesdavid7312]

Surprise to see others who trade with Mrs Sophia Charlotte, I am currently on my 5th trade with her and my portfolio has grown tremendously………

I’m investing with Mrs Sophia Charlotte, she charge a 15%commission on profit made after every trading session which is fair compare to the effort she put in to make huge profit….//>

Hi kenji. My question is that can a goldman sachs investment banker associate or vp earn 8 lakh dollar per annum pls reply 🙏🙏

[@armageddonleonidas1659]

What about grades?

[@KenjiExplains]

As long as you meet the minimum requirements (around 3.5gpa) you should be alright. It doesnt really matter if you have a 3.6 or a 3.9 gpa

What's up

Hey!

[@DummyUrD]

Anybody who works more than 40 hours a week is making a mistake no matter how much money they make in my book.

Id be pretty comfortable with 60 on average if I see an endpoint that helps me achieve my goals

[@devez7]

Toxic work culture. Worst industry.

[@nightly522]

Good video. Investment banking is a garbage sector. These banks add little value. Most M&A transactions are failures. Bankers are a bunch of overpaid crooks looking to extract fees from clients. Some day investment banking and trading will be all automated by AI.

[@shivadanthuluri9894]

Hi Kenji, you are providing valuable content. Thank you so much I have a small query regarding moving to finance field. I haved messaged you on Instagram can you please give a reply. Love from India❤️

[@davidheacock1192]

Doing powerpoints and using excel to make simple models - all for the carrot of some $$ down the track. What a waste of intelligent, capable people!
