"Ok this person got an interview so they're clearly bright" THANK YOU!! You have no idea how much that helped me lol.

Tomorrow I have an telephone interview for JPMorgan apprenticeship. Have been watching this channel for about a year and it made me consider apprenticeship path aswell as university.

I recently found your channel, and I love it! Thank you so much for your advice and knowledge. I’m currently pursuing an MS in Finance and trying to break into the industry!

Just running into this video, but would still love to see an explanation on Marcus!

[@hhunoclue]

I adore ur mini library bro ❤️

[@georgeaxiotidis2783]

Hey Afzal! My name is George and I have this question for you. You mention during the video that in order to be employed by Goldman or Morgan you have to be bright. Can you define bright? How can you calculate how bright you are? EQ? IQ? GPA? Business School graduate? Which are the traits so someone can be considered to be bright for a top tier IB? @AfzalHusein

[@sm-yu7dt]

You're deeping it too much. It mostly means going to a good uni and doing a good degree, with a good grade. You could go to business school but if it's the local uni it's not impressive. These indicate intelligence on your cv. When it comes to the interview, that's where you can showcase EQ. IQ is an outdated concept, mostly to do with test-taking. Just come across as articulate and have common sense = being bright.

[@tejaswinikhandekar441]

Could you please make a video on how to apply for Goldman Sachs online like what to write on in your application that will make you stand apart from other thousands of applicants, because this is the first step right, if I clear this then and then only I'll get a call for interview so please make a video on how to write your application while applying to Goldman Sachs what all to write in it, how to make it attractive and give it a higher edge and make it stand out from other applications

[@saralyn4062]

This was such a great video 😌

[@RM-kp8oh]

Hi, thank you!!! would really appreciate it if you could do a video talking about State Street or companies like that~~

Can you do video on the general contract terms in investment banking? Like how many hours per year, lock in contracts, employee share schemes, performance reviews, incentives etc...Cheers

Salaam Afzal, Can you make videos centered on Breaking into & excelling in JPMorgan WMgmt or AMgmt? Thanks 🙏

[@kebeiloesello9123]

Hi Afzal. Thank you so much for this insightful video into the world of Goldman Sachs, and what they look for. I think it would quite easy for them to assess whether an individual has the requisite hard skills for the job. Much appreciated🙏🏾

[@priyasaxena4573]

Hey Afzal Hussain! Thankyou for valuable content that your channel provides everytime. Keep posting such videos. As you always write "if your are 18-24 years old", I really want to know will it be so late if someone starts at the age of 24 or so in the IB career? I mean is it not a wise idea to start after attaining 24 years of age. Please reply ASAP.

[@nainabakolia2044]

Really helpful!!

[@harigovindpandey4045]

Hii, I am pursuing ACCA and want to start my career in Investment banking field. And I have no previous working experience, so would they hire me? I am good at analytical skills and very interested in tradings. Help me with this

Do a video Marcus plz

[@akeebmohammed6094]

Hi Afzal, Ive been a Marcus Customer for around a year now. Its a great little product with a better than average interest rate. Nothing too fancy and over the top but its a clever move from Goldman to dip into the wider consumer market!

[@ankitabasu1136]

Very very helpful. Also it would be really beneficial if you could make a video on the types of questions asked at interviews and how to ace them.

[@stephaniezinone8238]

goldman is extremely overrated, I worked in back office function close to 20 years at gs, the money, benefits wasn't that much more than their competitors. The people were snakes, managers wanted their own team to play against each other for competitiveness. people were evil there.
