I can say all the right things I just don’t feel a good vibe or connection between me and the hiring person

[@wqerfdwsqfqwe7662]

Thanks, Afzal

[@akkimaroine487]

Thanks Afzal for helping out students through these videos ! It is a superb work. Could you please make a video about how mentors influenced you in your career choices ? How to choose a mentor outside of your organisation you're working in that can bring value ? I reckon it is an important topic to talk about for graduates and current students.

[@AfzalHussein]

Very good talking topic. Thank you for the suggestion! I have added it to the list.

[@gilbertotargino92]

Hi I’m from Brazil, thank you for the videos

[@AfzalHussein]

Thanks for watching!

[@samuelsu4733]

Question: Why our bank? Why investment banking? How do I answer this question without eluding them to the high salary and the prestige?

[@kukzmini]

you can mention company's values, their reports you read, employees you've met / networked with and great feedback they get online etc

[@jondash2939]

Also culture

[@danielgillis8404]

Ceos and top-notch companies go to investment banks to be advised on how to manage really important decisions that will affect the future of the company, so what you do as an investment banker is important. You get to work with some of the nicest and smartest colleagues, IB's are very competitive environments so it is smart to assume you will be surrounded by special and hardworking people. You meet people from the most elite institutions in the world that are the best at what they do.

[@AfzalHussein]

😊👍🏽

[@remuvs]

I guess you could say answering this question is like the opening scene of a movie where you have to grab the reader's attention (hiring manager) within the first few minutes or they won't want to invest more time into you.

[@betsy104]

Love the content you're churning out! Keep at it :)

[@shubhambhardwaj6274]

I recently started watching your channel, and i must admit it that i’m really enjoying the insightful content that i got to observe and learn from here. I am having my interview round with Vice President of Blackstone group tomorrow. Any key takeaways which you would like to drop, it would be really grateful. Edit - I nailed it 💯

[@pghomies]

I'm 35 when watching this and I'm like heck I should have watched this 15 yrs ago.

I really love your content Afzal. Could you please do a video on general competency questions like teamwork, communication, innovation etc. What kind of experience would best describe these and does your example have to be professional or can be also from volunteering and networking events? Does professional experience outweigh your other experiences when it comes to competency based questions? Thanks

[@debabratanayak5075]

Thanks Faizal for the videos you put out are very useful. Can you please make a video on how to shift career from back-office in a investment bank to front office (research and analysis) in the investment bank.

Your answer would be much appreciated! Thanks!

[@sammayomi5547]

im a first year student studying maths and stats at Univeristy of Liverpool, and i have an interview for a summer internship soon and i cant lie im freaking out. Due to covid i havent been able to do a lot of the extra curricular activities i intended. ive joined but so far nothings happened. i have been doing online courses and stuff and i actually do invest in my free time but im just scared that thats too cliche. My interviewers recently sent email saying their cameras wont be on, and so i cant even read the room. Do you think they will ask me complicated investing questions, because so far my knowledge isnt amazing, its okay but im only first year. i hope it goes well

[@victoriawang462]

Thanks for the video. It's quite helpful. But I always curious, is that possible for a finance Ph.D to get in investment banks through either graduate programme or getting return offer after internship? Will the recruiters refuse them because they may think they are "overqualified"?
