1:35 this is credit to my manager at that time br1:50 osmosis: you learn by taking notes and hearing in on the conversation This is not the case with private banker because high net worth individual bryou can get more client access sooner among other division br3:00 work-life balance is better than IB and sales & trading brthe gender ratio is more even they have family br3:50 if you're trustworthy in your to-do-list in a timely manner br4:15 front office is always good bonus is depend on the team performance - region and organization br4:30 the nature of work: taking money from clients, such as pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, governments, large companies and invest in financial markets to get a return because you get exposure to the different asset classes you're not siloed into fixed income or equities bralternatives: hedge funds, private equities, and real estates br5:20 pension pot is shrinking

Whenever people discuss work life balance they talk about daily working hours They never talk about PTO or sick days I couldn't find a video on this but would love to know if people even feel comfortable enough to take PTO and what that looks like

Comment from : littlevivi

Hi Azfal Big fanbrI'm a student very interested in the high finance (HF/AM/IB) scene, with a large interest in working with the capital markets However, as a finance major I lack the advanced math and programming knowledge that is becoming more frequent in those careers brDo you see someone without advanced math/programming knowledge having a good shot at breaking into hf/am/ib? If not, what careers would you recommend that would not have a advanced/coding prerequisite

Hi Afzal, at 22 what would you do after failing second year at university? Would you jump into work and some sort of accreditation to break into finance or would you still go to university or change course or something ?

Comment from : Arpit AP

Hi Afzal Thank you for all the insight I was wondering if you could answer a quick question I'm in my second year of uni at a non-target Russel group studying Economics and Finance For various reasons, I didn't get any experience in first year in regards to insight weeks or open days etc I've applied to a few internships for this summer and will continue to do so but I feel it's highly unlikely I'll get onr with the experience I have Does this mean it's very unlikely I can break into asset management? What would you recommend I do in this situation to try and salvage this? brbrThanks again for all the insight Afzal

@Afzal could you make a video on the important technical and soft skills required for various divisions in Investment Banks and best place to learn and practice these skills
Comment from : Rishabh Pandey

How is asset management different from a hedge fund or a PE fund? How do you make money off of the clients? Do you assume any risk yourself (as an institution)? When you pitch clients do you just talk about your past performance or do you present specific investment strategies the market/research guys have come up with?
