Just did a talk at work on our investment division to a large group of students and recommended they watch your videos - keep up the great work!

[WTFinancepodcast]

Great video and great timing! Have just been asked this in one of my applications for the year.

0:50 so all of those things tied well to asset management, and sales position within asset management.
As prior experience I gained experience in BlackRock, the largest asset management in the world in my first year. I saw what the investment side looks like, and what portfolio management is like. And I saw what client relationship and sales is like. And I prefer the sales position. So I applied asset management specifically.

1:20 know your why allows you to pitch your story and your reasoning. How they buy my story.
build rapport.

Achieved an interview with JPMorgan with their apprenticeship into front office in London, this question seems a lot more difficult then it should be and I'm worried that my answer will be weak in the interview

[jayhoovy]

Great content! I found this channel randomly; glad I stopped by!

[AWESOMERUPAM]

After listening to your videos, am much more inclined towards the trading and equity research part. But I have few questions like
1. Is trading and research a back office or front office thing?
2. What are the career growth opportunities in this field moving forward?
3. Am currently pursuing MBA, but I have done btech mechanical engineering as my ug degree. What are the skill set or extra things I need to have in my cv to get a career in this?

[ushnish_bose]

What are the roles are there in asset management?

[haiderchaudhary]

You know the why’s you said, I kind of have the same reasons too but am I allowed to say stuff about work life balance, etc?

[jiteshsharma]

Is Assets management mean a mutual fund yes or no.?

[jameljeanjacques]

Portfolio manager for someone who want to build on the market, manage people And talk for selling is a good way no?

[CoolDBG]

Do you recommend overtly saying yes to asset management because it is front office and not long hours? I’m wondering if that would come off the wrong way during the interview

[ihaziqhabib]
