See, this is a proper video!! Proper detail and genuine insight, rather than general stuff. Class.

A lot of people don’t understand that when you get into investment banking I would say about 80% of people only do it for 2-3years max and then leave. The main perks of investment banking is the career opportunities it provides. For example you grind for 2 years at Goldman Sachs fresh out of uni leave and then you have top hedge knocking at your door with even better pay, a much higher ceiling and a far better work life balance. If you leave from a top investment bank you can pretty much go anywhere in the field of finance and be set for life with great work life balance it’s only those initial two years that suck. And even if you decide to stick around in investment banking the hours get far better and the pay multiplies tremendously. You can easily retire by your 40s

I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Lucy Mary Liam.

He literally has no time to himself. No exercise, no catching up with friends. literally straight to bed and to do everything all over again. I hope they're paying you heavy

[KP-ddci]

Remember the IB days when leaving the office before midnight was a good day. At least there is no commute from desk to bed now!

Thank you for creating this video... There's not enough content on YouTube which captures the hard part of jobs like these. Having worked in consulting for 5 years I can totally relate to every part of this video. This is real. This is the hardwork that goes in and we need more real content like this.

This is honestly the best day in the life video I’ve ever watched. Can’t wait to see more!

He needs to get outside for a 30 min walk. Your back will thank you later.

I work at a bank in risk and can relate to some of the things you say. But when you said it’s 4pm and you’re about halfway through your day my jaw dropped. That’s mental…

[jkhajuria]

My bro could have been an investment banker. He tells me everytime that they earn a lot but don't have any time for themselves or their families. He's in a great place now doing what he loves. I'm glad he's happy

[anthonywilliams]

Great video! Takes a special type of person to perform your role, also the fact that you can also manage to shoot a vlog even more special!

[nichoson]

I watch this video whenever I need a motivational boost with work lol his positive attitude is empowering 💫

Man careful for your elbows, get yourself a larger desk where your elbows get supported - Kr, fellow analyst

[joshuajackson]

When I was little, I have always wanted my life to be filled with actions hence becoming a superman etc. But now here I am learning and amazed from this man's discipline and ethics

[KaelynGraceApple]

I absolutely love seeing you vlogging again <3

[hosnathomas]

I feel like I’m also so much more productive at night! Honestly, could never see myself going into investment banking but such a fun vlog to watch for some reason 😂

[DKC]

If you enjoy this work schedule then fair play to you, each to their own. I can’t imagine this is particularly healthy for your body or your mind.. even if it is healthy for your bank account! More to life that work in my humble opinion. Great video though, interesting insight and thanks for sharing!

Rewatched 3:53 so many times cause that positivity soothes my soul so much

Being successful don' t happen by magic Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be 700 guaranteed.
