He’s capping. No banker works anywhere close to 100 hours a week. 70-80 hours are most realistic. Bankers do work 100+ hours a week, but it rarely happens, probably 10% of a year. And a banker works around 50 weeks a year, so if 10% of those weeks are 100+ hour work weeks, it’s only 5 weeks which isn’t bad.

Shane, you talk about how accounting is a better degree than finance because accounting can do finance, but finance can’t do accounting. How many of these jobs can you get with an accounting degree? I’m thinking of switching majors from business admin to accountancy. I appreciate all the videos you put out!!!

[@TDesting]

This is so inaccurate... Please, do not believe this

[@RomeoHatesShrimp]

Accounting is very broad, be careful You can make the switch from Transaction/ M&A deals and Financial Due Diligence (all of these are accounting) into the finance world But you can't make the switch if you're in tax because there's less overlap.

[@dar7279]

@@TDesting its pretty true. I did big 4 audit first and then went to corp finance. The work in finance is wayyyyy easier to do and understand than the concepts of accounting

[@TDesting]

​@@dar7279 You are oversimplifying a lot. What does "I did big 4 audit" mean? What does "work in finance" mean? There are 1,000 different jobs in finance. Market risk analyst? Trader? Portfolio manager? Research analyst? Investment banker? An accounting degree will focus a lot on learning about financial statements, taxes and business law, while a finance degree will focus a lot on learning about financial markets, derivatives, investing and economics. The two are literally not comparable, and you certainly cannot say that an accounting degree contains all of the elements of a finance degree and more. That is just plain nonsense. The two degrees are barely overlapping to be honest. If you believe the statement in the OP to be true, then you do not have enough insight into how the two types of degrees/areas differr and I believe chances are that you do not have a master's degree in either.

MBA is always a cool thing to have, but you cannot just become a hedge funds manager. Just to get to a hedge funds job, people work multiple years as for example investment bank analysts

Depends on the GMAT score. Getting into the top 15 colleges opens doors. Also CFA is prolly required.

Hedge funds like to hire from investment banks and other high finance positions. So traditionally no.

Since performance bonuses are based on firm performance. I am pretty new in the role and its pretty much glorified customer service. Obviously for high performers that is freaking good money.
