'We are inalienable from ourselves and our interests and its those little moments of humanity that make people connect', very profound and true 42:00

I’m Zambian and it’s nice to see someone from a neighboring country make their way to a space I want to move into….makes the dream feel a little more doable

[@willl6551]

I'm no stranger to hard work/professional services environment. Currently an MBA candidate and was a consulting manager before this. But to hear your speakers gush about the "respect for humanity" shown by their employers for letting them out for 2 hours on a weekend is crazy lol. Banking WLB is clearly its own thing.

[@Blashmack]

humanity was indeed respected during those 2 hours

[@rareliquid]

lol fair

[@resa574]

As a previous ib analyst, these guys make ib sound like saving the world lol But I mean if you’re a career banker, I guess you have to love it so why not sugarcoat it a bit

[@chadwallers969]

Alonso being happy about VDR/Q&A work renewed my passion for the job 😂❤

[@sammathews6634]

Can you make a video about other roles besides investment banking one can look into...a bank after doing an MBA? Also, if you can mention as to what job opportunities may or may not be available for older candidates out of mba school...after 35, 40, 45 years, etc? Thanks!

[@FA-dz8ls]

You skipped the PE dude at the frustration question

[@priyankapandya7868]

Thank you for this, Ben! Very useful.

[@jaimegomez3280]

Very professional video. Love the intro. On another note, make the interview more informal. It’s too structured. I think it should be more of a conversation. Overall, great video

what should we be doing in coffee talks? and how would we set it up? if the person doesn't really know us and they live far from us, how would we be able to obtain the information from them through "coffee talks"?

[@k-zo2805]

If you can, please provide the linked-in details of the interviewees. Would love to connect with them and follow their careers

[@AnonYmous-hu6jd]

This is an awesome interview, especially because you've been in banking and know what questions to ask. Super Insightful! Also, as someone whose always considered banking as an opportunity (and did similar sell side/buy side roles), thank goodness I didn't go down this route. I'm certain it's a great learning experience, but the fact that these kids are grateful for one saturday night off is comical. The worst part, however, is the lack of internal communication. What an absolute killer for a career. Hard to explain unless you have firsthand experience, but it's a terrible existence to have no rapport with people who oversee your career yet have no care whether you succeed or fail. Working with people who think it's cool to have "no emotion" is one of the most unfulfilling experiences you can have. Psycopaths are the only types of people who thrive in these types of environments. Maybe worth it for the stamp of approval on your resume, not worth it for a good life.

[@eddyy2977]

Wow cool video. But honestly the weekend stories scared me off of banking.

[@sergecanepa]

Interesting panel but conversation was a bit dull. Would prefer to see more of a podcast like discussion and more nuance/insightful responses. Though appreciate the channel

[@rareliquid]

noted~ it can be hard since i'm trying to get more helpful career / recruiting advice which is always a bit more straightforward vs. fun stories. will try to make things more lively though

[@Jooorhhh]

Brilliant episode! Recruiting seems to be quite different in the big apple compared to things here (down under in Australia), but the discussion on the internship experiences was really insightful and broadly applicable.

[@rareliquid]

good to hear~

[@australianpatriot]

IB is harder to get into in Australia than USA

[@omicron942]

28:50 I'm actually not interested in going into investment banking because of the truly insane working hours (like I can't fathom how happy Ed was to get 2 hours for church on Sunday... Sometimes, only when it's not busy). I've been watching a few videos like this because I am really curious about the type of person who is willing to sacrifice their time for such careers. I'm finding it quite interesting. To be honest, the job itself does sound fascinating. Working on deals and researching companies... But life is for living, and there's no way I'm giving anyone 80-100+ hours of my week for any amount of money. Edit:ok maybe not for "any" amount 😂. But I don't think there's a bank out there who would pay me the price I'd put on my own time.

hi Ben, where can I access financial modelling-related resources since Patreon seems to have been discontinued? Thanks

[@soorokim9110]

Long contents = more info! Love it.

[@augustinemarkroa4581]

Do investment banker have vacations/mandatory leave?

[@buster117]

That was a great interview, keep it up!

[@emmanuelunique9992]

What do you think of getting into investment banking just after graduation in masters of finance. Then after 3 years, go into asset management

[@bertdebruyne8365]

Doable but you need good internship during your studies.

[@PapiPluto]

Good Podcast I would try to make it more as a conversation which will make it more engaging and relaxed instead of you asking them questions like student teacher type of conversation

[@rareliquid]

thx for the feedback! will try to do this moving forward

[@vojtaborsky]

I disagree, I really enjoyed it all with perfect answers, thanks a lot man great work

[@kenchiang8007]

Really appreciate this!! Lots of good advices!!

[@earljackson9216]

Excellent episode. I love that you started a podcast. I'm still a neophyte when it comes to trying to get into Investment Banking so I'm here to take all advise I can get. Keep the great content coming.

[@rareliquid]

thank you sir~

[@brandonlawson4826]

Hope this gets a reply from someone… but what are the odds of me being able to go into investment banking from a HBCU. Gpa is only 3.1 and I have no banking experience or relevant internship. My major is Bus. ad. With a concentration in MIS. I’m good at this though my personal portfolio returns about 11% anually.

[@andrewusa14]

If I were you I would try to go at Ivy League school or a school close to to it and major in business administration, accounting, finance, economics, or business management

[@MrMcfire2]

Really useful and practical advice - thanks!

Whats your opinion about ai and ongoing fear of replacing most of „corpo” jobs in near future?

Great video as usual! What are your thoughts on DA Davidson?

[@MichaelMommyMilkers]

Last time i checked Morgan Stanley was 4th on the league tables

[@ybk24]

Great video! I agree with previous comments on making this more conversational and natural instead of sounding like an interview. Would also love to see similar content (MBA students on their internship experiences) in other industries e.g MBB, PE, VC, HF, etc.
