[@byongzun5]

thank you ben, Bruce's story helped a lot to get insights in investment banking, private equity and even boxing!

[@edsprinfiled4246]

What a wonderful interview, great questions and answer, please keep up good work! Also very hands-on insights provided by Bruce. Thank you so much for sharing. Would love to hear such a detailed interview for strategy consulting.

[@generalmcmuffin10]

Great interview Ben. Really appreciated hearing insights from Bruce's story

[@rareliquid]

glad u enjoyed!

[@rtrrr7215]

Very insightful interview

[@doziee.1093]

Great, great episode! Bruce was coo. Boxing at Wharton, who knew? Consulting hires at PE firms? Thanks a lot Ben!

[@RandageJr]

Loved this story. I would’ve liked to understand how Bruce got interested in IBD at first; at top schools the context generally drives you to be interested in finance, but that was not probably his case.

[@christinecamley]

Fabulous interview! I wish you both good luck in your careers!!

[@Azblatte]

Someone said this last time now I always notice it. You keep saying I’m curious to know before every question, just let it flow

[@thepantry420]

Heyy, can you share your thoughts on some comparison between top MM vs BB vs EB. Would love to hear different aspects of

A walking legend

[@thecrymble2646]

great video

[@footlongchen]

Great content Ben. Hope to be considered for the marketing associate role!-Jeffrey Li

[@cjmor6590]

Does corporate strategy pay similar to PE cause PE just sounds like consulting/banking with a little bit less WLB issues

[@JafacaksWasTaken]

Needles swag I see you

[@aryamukherjee7475]

Hi, I am going to do my MS at the University of Bristol in the domain of Fintech. How do I get at Goldman or such a company after this degree. I also have another masters in AI & DS.

[@hzboi]

The link to books you recommend is broken.

[@j2kan]

Great interview! I learned a lot from listening in, and enjoyed getting into the details about what the day to day is like!

[@rareliquid]

Thanks for listening!

[@suhailhassen]

Let us know how your MBA was and if and where you get a job next👍 Good luck

[@xxyanlixx]

PLEASE POST A VIDEO ABOUT CRYPTO BEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SnapBackCollector211]

Is Bain Capital the sponsor lol

[@rareliquid]

hah i wish that would be dope. there’s a lot of focus on the firm because there’s very little content on youtube about the strategy and culture at each pe shop. super important to know for those recruiting for pe and my hope is to interview ppl with experience at all the top shops so ppl can use them as a resource when recruiting

[@QrankChannel]

@@rareliquid And in that context, please make a video about LBO model instead of the standard DCF models
