[@christiancartagena93]

It’s expensive

[@999NINE99]

Excellent video. Too many people have no idea there is even a difference between hedge funds, PE firms, and VC firms. Please keep these up. Your explanation is succinct and well done.

[@rareliquid]

thank you!

[@ecccc758]

Love your videos, thanks for the resources!

[@UNKNOWN-1589]

The private equity video was amazing. I hope to hear more videos about the PE lifestyle and maybe more on Venture Capital.

[@rareliquid]

will do!

[@IamDaniPenarroyo]

Appreciate this! Thank you!

[@Talib_Husain18]

Crisp and informative , love it

[@rareliquid]

trying to make my videos a bit shorter actually haha

[@brunodc5232]

Thanks Ben for this useful video!

[@rareliquid]

My pleasure!

[@austinscott9815]

I’ve been following for a while. Another awesome video. Would it be possible to do one on Activist Investing? I know it’s a lot more niche, but I haven’t seen a consolidated dataset on this site.

[@barryaherne215]

Just commenting for the algorithm; I got no clue about PE haha, but that course looks awesome. Like, right up this video's street. Anyway, completely unrelated, but what's happening with the newsletter?!!

[@gobindbirsingh4090]

Awesome video! Coming from a first year undergrad business major, do you think it's worth it to explore my interests? Personally, I'm a part of 180 Degrees Consulting (consulting chapter) in my college and I feel I have made up my mind in pursuing Management Consulting as a career since I really enjoy the process of cold mailing/calling > pitching to potential clients > converting > setting deliverables > implementing them and have actively contributed to each of the steps in the cycle. My one issue, however, is on academics. I have my end semester exams in 5 days and here I am looking at your videos for the past 2 hours and maintaining my aimed personal portfolio in a spreadsheet and doc. Is it the right approach? I see batchmates bantering and having fun, I hang out sometimes too, but I feel it's useless in the long run.

[@jeaan0634]

Hi, many thanks for this video ! Because Chat GTP is a burning topic, do you think it would be interesting to use it in some tasks related to PE & in a Funds of Funds activity as well ? Are you planning to do a video concerning this topic ? Many thanks in advance !!! 😊

[@harryputra6335]

I will put no.6 on responsibility as: exiting the investment. :D

[@tharunnelumalai9177]

nice video bro

[@yihanliao2287]

This video is fantastic! I have benefited from your videos so much. I'm preparing for a future career in the banking industry. Could you talk about how to keep track of the market and what to focus on when reading the news? How to develop good insights into the market?

[@rareliquid]

sounds good will try to make a video about this in the future

[@yogeshbhagat9365]

What would be an estimated amount of carry received on average 🤔🤔 Like a rough figure, what it would be in large funds ???

[@gabrielcampos1794]

How useful do you feel the certificate is/will be?

[@simongruntjes5911]

Nice video! how do you think about breaking into private equity as a chartered accountant?

[@rareliquid]

not really the way to do it

[@mes1980]

What role do talent leaders (HR) have in PE firms in your experience?

[@user-tp7jy3bd8o]

Is it possible to break into private equity and progress, without having been in investment banking?

[@RAJohnson713]

What about PE vs VC?

[@elisoffer9728]

Can you comment on the hours at each level?

[@user-mx8xg5ex6f]

hello sir do private equity firm invest in stock market or not

[@nicexd4206]

Serious question: Is it possible to break into Finance (IB but especially PE/VC if I could choose freely) with a degree in medicine and no prior experience in finance? I study in Germany so my degree is fully in medicine (no minor). Do you know by chance any colleagues that have the same background as I do and are working in these sectors I mentioned above? Would be very happy about an answer!

[@SOSSOSSOSSUS]

Soweit ich weiß, liegt der Fokus bei vielen IBs auf Quereinsteiger. Kenne ein paar Leute, welche mit Philo rein gekommen sind.

[@chbhhfhbfg4218]

Commenting for the algorithm

[@lskknl10]

hellman and friedman! bankman-fried! lol

[@lv3575]

Can you get hired by only having the certification and no 4 year degree?

[@rareliquid]

no i would consider it more as a supplement than a replacement
