Networking Tips That Can Land You a $150K+ Job

Bro why did you say that consultants can't get into buyside. I've seen PE firms specifically target mbb consultants.

Consulting can open doors to Operations Analyst positions in the buy side, no?

Hey, im studying business rn and based on this video i much more prefer consulting (im entrepreneurial and like working with a lot of people)

I'm stuck on my major decision: Finance vs Information and Service Management. Does both of these offer great paths for consulting/entrepneurship?

What’s the song at the end of the video ?

Great video, thanks

It's just me at the nice hotel!

Is it possible to go into consulting with Economics MS and PhD? I don't like Finance much and currently pursuing MSS in Econ.

Already subscribed! This video was so informative and really helped me see things clearly. I’ve checked out your other videos too—they’re amazing! Thanks a ton!

It would ne awesome if you make another video comparing with FAANG Software engineers as they also make $100K straight out of college wand when they progress in career, the stock component increases to million dollars. Also, they have leverage founding or joining an early stage startup which have high potential, due to their CS background. (5/11/24 5:45pm)

I learned so much from watching these of your videos!

Investment banking refers to a financial sector that facilitates the creation of capital for companies, governments, and other entities. This involves services like underwriting, mergers and acquisitions, securities trading, and offering financial advice. Investment banks help organizations raise funds through issuing stocks or bonds and also provide strategic guidance for corporate activities.

Beautiful video👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 well put together.

very good informative vdo thank u

Is it possible to get into either of these fields in your mid 30s? If yes, would you be starting from scratch (w/ or without an MBA)

What a beautiful content👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

One of very few truly 10/10 videos out there!
Thank you!

Is there a specific type of keyboard used in investment banking? I am in real estate finance for a relative's firm and always searching for ways to improve my efficiency

auto - bankGPT + Langchain + btc/eth has this sector done.

Consulting working hours are not that easy, I think your BCG friend is uninformed!! I worked at McKinsey as a BA and I never had working hours below 75 hours a week!

I imagine that a non-US citizen in IB will never have the same chances of advancement as an American.

Consulting is a grift to protect the C Suite from the horrific decisions they have to make, all they do is provide intellectual cover fire for cuts, price fixing, and mass firings.

I would point out to other viewers, that as Rareliquid said in the opening statement, here the focus is on strategy and management consulting.

The advice shifts when you start talking about technology consulting, which was traditionally much smaller but has been growing at a far larger rate than management and strategy (both of which are seeing declines in many areas)

We do work on Fridays, sometimes until 10😶

Jpmorgan funded and knew about Epstein’s child sex trafficking

Thank you very much, buddy

Great video but I feel the emphasis on great WLB at consultancies is kinda misleading… they still (particularly in the M&A teams) work until midnight/ early hours of the morning and even when they do finish working it’s not exactly like they have a lot of time for their “life” because they’re in a hotel miles away from home.

Hello, any advice for young engineers who want to move into consulting? My goal is to get into a reputable consulting firm then apply for MBA.

20%

I would slow down your speech about 0.2%

what does buy side mean and why cant consultancy managers enter it? pls help....great vid btw!

MBB has quite an easy time entering the buyside. When you look at the number of ex-MBB at MF and MM PE funds versus the number of MBB consultants that are actually interested in finance, the success rate's better than IB.

Why is Wells Fargo or Wells Fargo Clearing not listed in any Tier

Thanks for this great video, i must say it's really helpful. I was leaving on average financial income until i invested with a professional broker (Stella Louis) Life have been better afterwards.*

I'm from Germany: could it be that the consulting industry is totally different in the US? In Germany you can expect to work 50-60 at the Big4, but never at BCG lol... also no German would get into IB only with those internships :(

Well, which one is time consuming? Auditor or Investment Banker?

Thank you so much, Ben. All of your videos have been super helpful. Thank you again! -Erin (student interning at DB)

Thanks

Does cfa certification provide job in foreign countries

How can Alastair provide up to date training if he last worked in the industry 25yrs ago?

Go consulting u will work with all banks

This is a great video as a finance major I’m still unsure which field I want pursue and this video really helped

Investment bankers sell you products they would never use themselves

Which school did you graduate from?

with a CPA designation, can i get into consulting? i'm 33 already..what education background do i need to get? i have no financial modeling background

You forgot to count in the travel time for consultants to get to a more realistic comparison in hours per week vs banking . First year analyst doesn't need to catch the 7am flight every Monday morning. I.e.The good thing about banking is that all the crunch hours are done in the office, not a a client site in the middle of nowhere.

At bain worked many more hours per week compared to the time spent at Morgan Stanley

Kinda weird that u promote a sponsor without saying it’s a sponsor.

Banking = $$ but narrower path
Consulting = $ but more opportunities

Source = me (I have worked full-time as a trader, quant trader, and investment banker. Now work as a Product Manager in tech)

It’s so funny that you are so wrong but just because you think yo have experience, dude work like more that 5 years
