2 Questions that REVEAL WORKPLACE CULTURE at Interviews
RAJ YOU ARE INDIAN BUT YOU SOUND SO WHITE. HOW DOES THAT WORK MY FRIEND.
I'd love an update on this. I used to find it very useful. However, in 2024 it has felt perhaps the opposite. Has there been a shift?
It's a really good question Vara - I think it really depends on the sector and locations you're interested in. E.g. with the tech layoffs, there'd be zero stigma to having a visible "open to work" banner, but perhaps recruiters might see you as being easier to negotiate downwards on salary? I think the best bet is always to contact recruiters in the sector directly... essentially going upstream on where the jobs are released. I hope this helps - and if you want to give me an idea of what you're targeting I can give my specific thoughts :-) Cheers, Raj
You can use AIquillbot to paraphase your AI and you wont get caught , 100% works
I have had success when I cut and paste the full job description, the resume and cover I had already drafted and ask it to rewrite the resume and cover letter using my documents as a guide and written specifically for the job description I gave it.
Thanks for sharing!
Wise words as usual!
Ahhh thanks chap! Most kind :-)
thanks
Love the video, cant wait for more content and following your journey.
Thank you for these videos Raj! I’ve been finding them very helpful. I’ve reworked my CV based off of tips from your other videos and now I’m taking these cover letter writing tips and will apply them with each application going forward. Hat tip to you for doing your bit to make a difference in the lives of others.
I really appreciate this @danielpabu5848. Good luck with those applications! :-) Raj
Great video
Thanks @jasoncolap! :-) Raj
Sure... pizza is good... but have you tried subscribing!?
I was wondering whether you are able to check students’ CV from other universities? I have mine written out but I am not sure whether it is in its best version yet. I am still in the process of seeking for more experience that could be put on my CV. Also, thank you for all your help in these videos.
Hi @stewiegriffin1938, this is hugely appreciated. I'm glad the videos are proving useful. I have 1-1 consultations via this link: calendly.com/raj-concorde/consultation - Cheers, Raj

“Applying to jobs hoping to be rejected” quite an aha!-like moment. Thanks for sharing Raj!
I know right!! (and thanks, Jorge, you superstar!)
You can submit more questions in reply to this comment! Raj 🙂
Easy to change when you have money and savings. Good for you. Thanks for the info none the less
Honestly, that's a fair comment @antonytanno. One counterpoint: money can act as a brake on career change as much as a facilitator, for some. But there's no doubt savings and other priveleges made my change a lot easier than it would otherwise be. Thanks for watching and I wish you all the very best. Raj
Some great resources too!!!
I found the questions very helpful thanks
Thank you for letting me know this @maysielaftah7738 - I'm glad both the questions and the resources were helpful :-) I wish you all the best with your potential career change! Raj
Thanks so much Raj I found the video insightful. As someone working in careers advice … I have seen some clients may want to change into a field where they don’t have the network or skills or experience. Or they are unable to start from a lower level. What would you recommend? I’ve identified look internally, seek insights through networks, approach people on LinkedIn in… Your previous experience was very impressive and I appreciate these videos.
Hi @maysielaftah7738, this is a great question! Would you be happy if I covered it in my next video? I think others might be interested in your question too! Raj :-)

Thanks Raj, great points - agreed that though I love the idea of Ikigai, it did make me stuck when I was too quick to judge and didn't realise I was doing it
I really appreciate this comment @jaymayhoi - and the insight. I think it's super tricky to be aware (in real time) that this judgement might be happening - but so valuable when you do see it. I hope you found another approach that worked for you?
@@rajsidhu yes, I eventually "took some risks" and dipped my feet in a few career pathways, some which I dismissed, and have now landed on one which I'm really enjoying
@@jaymayhoi I'm glad - and I also believe that's the best possible way... be guided by the experiences you have. I'm also a massive believer that sometimes the least risky option is to take the risk. Congratulations 🙂
Excellent video, Raj. I liked your enthusiasm in the whole process because it's a daunting task to change careers and expertise. One thing I did love about your video is when you talked about the "variable change" -- That's key. One thing can pivot your whole perspective and future. Cheers
Ahh thanks @hassansyed6087 I really appreciate this! The variable change really was the key and it was such a subtle - and unexpected thing. I agree - one thing really can pivot a whole perspective. I hope you find that, or have found it already :-) Raj

Great vid. Would you say most people go into investment banking so as to become wealthy themselves? It sounds like one has to be a very materialistic person to become an investment banker? What value does investment banking provide to society? I know little about investment banking so apologies if these questions are stupid. I know an automatically engineer ( PhD) who worked on the US F-35 plane in Washington. He advised his son not to go into the sciences to get a PhD as he did because he said it took him so many years of incredibly hard work to get a PhD and end of day he was working for the federal government not making a great deal of $. He advised his son to get a finance degree to make lots of money. His son got his degree at George Washington U and became an investment banker. I don't know if he is happy or not but I guess when young if you make lots of money that equates to happiness. I recall my friend when we were in our 20s he became a lawyer doing mergers and acquisition work in the oil industry. He told me absolutely hated the work but couldn't leave because he was making huge amounts of money. He is in his 50s and continues being a lawyer making tons of money. I don't know if he is happy as we lost touch.
Hey Brian, these are great questions, thank you for asking. I’ll try my best to answer each in turn: (i) as to why people become investment bankers, I’d say the financial rewards are the biggest reason (perhaps 80%+ of people). There will be other reasons too, e.g. a sense of prestige/accomplishment, or people not knowing what they want to do, so just earning money while they figure it out. (ii) I don’t think a person necessarily needs to be materialistic to become an investment banker, but I suppose most are… or they’re searching for something… perhaps to out-run a sense of financial security (insecurity is perhaps a driver too therefore). (iii) Honestly I’m not sure investment banking provides a great deal of social value at the moment. There’s an argument it provides markets for trades to occur, others might argue it allows capitalism to function more smoothly through facilitating mergers, me personally - I think it’s a bit of a stretch and perhaps the costs outweigh the benefits, societally (I’m thinking of bailouts and financial volatility etc). At the very least I think it could be less extractive and opqaue and just perform these functions in a more utilitarian way. I often spent time on the trading floor thinking these brilliant minds could be put to far better societal use. On money and happiness - and whether that equates more in youth, I think that’s a super interesting question. I think it’s going to be different for everyone. For me, earning money early on meant having more options later on, and I was conscious of that. Also, with the way compounding works, I figured it might be better to gather resources early- plus I felt more secure after growing up with not much money. I definitely saw a lot of people in investment banks who were totally stuck - or at least felt stuck - rather like that lawyer person in his 50s you mentioned…. That was always difficult to watch and be around. @briansmith2836 what makes you ask? (I'm genuinnely interested) and what things have been important to you in your career? And would you mind if I featured some of these awesome questions on a video I’m making that’ll be out in a month or so? Raj :-)
@@rajsidhu Hi, I should note the person I mentioned has a PhD in aeronautical engineering ( sorry for typos in previous post). I was interested in investment banking in general because I didn't really know what one does as an investment banker ( too lazy to use Google, I guess lol). I should note my late father's friend is best friend's with Gen Wes Clark and he went on to become an investment banker in NY after her ran for president. I was introduced years ago to the head trader for the George Soros family fund ( he made a ton of money for himself making money for Soros and his family- he has an MBA and I know his home is worth well over 10 million usd). I am interested to know what makes people happy so was always curious as to whether large amounts of wealth make people happy ( from everything I have read, including on Buddhism, large amts of wealth does not suddenly make one happy if one was not already happy ( not due to financial issues) before they amassed wealth). I was reading a book some time back where the writer mentioned how he knows the doorman of a building where billionaires live and the doorman mentioned to him how all he sees day in and day out are sour/ unhappy faces as these billionaires come and go and he wondered why they wouldn't walk around with smiles given how much wealth they have. He noted it was incredible how these billionaires constantly had unhappy looks on their faces. The writer also mentioned his very wealthy friend who took his huge yacht for 3 months to S America and came back in disbelief noting how he saw masses of incredibly poor people but they looked genuinely happy, smiles on their faces, friendly with others around them. I am getting off topic but just wanted to mention my interest in the relationship between wealth and happiness. I assume all investment bankers start with a degree in finance( I guess many don't have MBAs). As for me, I started in the sciences thinking I should try for medical school but that was what my parents wanted( I had very high marks in the sciences in high school and received early admission to the top universities here in Canada). I eventually completed 3 university degrees in social sciences( history, international relations and public administration), including a masters ( I was accepted to law school after writing my lsat but didn't have much interest so never went). My problem was that although I was good academically I never really knew what to do in life so ended up working for the Canadian federal government for years, even though the work was boring. I never had real interests in any one field as a kid so found it very difficult to pursue any area of study that I was really interested in, that could lead to a fulfilling career. I think the key to happiness is doing something that brings you joy ( if it is investment banking then that is great). If one does a job that does not bring them joy, regardless of how great the income, it makes for a much more difficult life. Before I ramble on and forget, yes go ahead and use anything I wrote to you in any upcoming video of yours. It sounds like you made the right decision to leave as you were aware that your job was not making you happy and if you stayed it would just stay that way until you retired or dropped dead. I think that goes for any job, if you are unhappy and feel unfulfilled doing what you do for a living you needed to look to make changes, even radical ones like quitting and pursuing something completely different. Most of the kids I went to high school with ended up as doctors, layers and/or professors of sciences with a couple that obtained MBAs. one friend is head of the department of engineering at a Canadian university and he told me how he has no time for his kids because he is so busy with work ( he used to be a professor and absolutely loved teaching students and doing biomedical research) so that must be difficult, as those years he misses out on being with his kids he will never get back, and no matter how great a reputation he has at university it won't really matter to his growing sons as they would rather have a father that spent time with them. But I envy him because he is doing something re work that brings him great satisfaction AND he is making a positive difference in the lives of his students. I know that if I had a great deal of money I would spend it on others that need help as that would bring me satisfaction ( I know that because I gave spent a lot of money over the years helping people that were worse off than I was); if I could have, I would have gone into investment banking or some area of finance for a number of years to try to make a ton of money with the intent to give most of the money away to help others. I wish back in high school I knew about finance and careers in finance ( I literally had no idea that there were finance degrees back in high school as my dad was an engineer and I just focused on sciences so was oblivious to the fact that people could actually get degrees in finance- we had no courses in economics or finance back in high school). I would be interested to hear more from you in a video about investment banking as in the previous the video you discussed investment banking, you only talked a few minutes ( or less) about what investment bankers do. I would also be curious to know whether you found many in the investment banking world to be selfish or whether there were a fair share of those who went out of their way to share some of their wealth with those less fortunate ( when I think of investment bankers I have an image of some miser who is only interested in amassing wealth, but that probably does not apply to many in the investment banking world, or at least I hope that is the case but you would know given you know so many investment bankers).Also, is it very stressful being an investment banker and how many hours per day do investment bankers work? Family physicians in Canada work incredibly long hours ( including weekends where they do paperwork) are very stressed from having so many patients ( with tons of paper work associated with each) and end of day the income is not that great, considering how much time they actually spend working at home ( they don't get paid for most paperwork) and in their office with patients. I should also ask what you did " on the trading floor" and also ask why you noted all the " brilliant minds" when referring to investment bankers you were with. By brilliant did you mean when it came to financial matters or would you say most/ many investment bankers have brilliant minds when it comes to more to just finance? I think I would say the most " brilliant" people I have known are doctors because the ones I know are very well rounded in that they have interests and knowledge that go far beyond "just" medicine. Would you say investment bankers are quite knowledgeable about many topics, beyond just the area of finance?
@@rajsidhu should have added in my reply to you that of the people I know or have known, I think the one with the best job in the world is that of my best friend since childhood. He has been writing for the Simpsons for over 20 years. He is surrounded by hilarious people, gets to make others laugh, is constantly laughing and gets a great income to do so. He also gets to meet all the famous celebrities that do the guest voices during various episodes. He got to meet Mick Jagger, amongst many other famous celebrities. I would kill for a job like that; he was always the class clown in school, but he did get a science degree and MBA before he broke through in LA; I should note that most of the writers for the Simpsons are highly educated and many with Harvard degrees. One more thing, how did you know you wanted to become an investment banker and did you already know in high school you would get a finance degree? Finally, did they offer finance courses in your high school? I guess maybe unlike when I went to high school the schools across N America now offer finance courses, at least as options.
Really insightful video. Valuable to see how career change occurs from different motivations and pathways. Keep it up!

„Yes“ I‘m here. We are talking. The ball is in your field now.
"do you have other candidates?"
Recently had a phone interview and this was asked. I told the HR recruiter "this was the 1st interview this month", figured I wasnt lying or embellishing the truth. Thanks for the insight behind this loaded question!
Nicely handled there, Ato... "loaded" is exactly the right word! Raj
I think this is an effective strategy, but I really loathe the misdirection and adversarial vibe. I’d much rather just say, “Yes, why do you ask?” Curiosity can be weaponized quite effectively against friend and foe, and it’s an effective litmus test to determine which of the two you are dealing with.
Sometimes fewer words can be more effective @joshuahutt and I think your approach is a solid way to tease out their motivation - and also to test their level of their interest in asking the question. Ideally interviewers would never ask this question, and so negating the need for misdirection etc
@@rajsidhu it’s really tough, because sometimes you really need a job and feel pressured to just shrug off a bad question or an uncomfortable process. I’m not sure if that’s worth it or not, but I wouldn’t judge somebody for doing it.
I get that @joshuahutt. The process - and unfortunately some of the questions can be dehumanising. Interviewers are rarely created equal. Some have egos and get a power kick out of interviewing - I've felt it - while others can be incredibly kind and generous with their questions and their perspectives. Stick in there for the good ones (the ones that make the process comfortable) they are out there - and when they extend offers, they make great bosses.
@@rajsidhu appreciate the kind words and I agree. ❤️
Always went with a resounding "hell yes!", because they know it and i know it. But ofcourse no need to tell them exactly who i am interviewing for.
This definitely works too @ibraheemsaleem2161!
Are these the same techniques used for CV's when you have 25+ years experience in the field you're going for, and for roles you have a lot to say about?
Great question. The principles are exactly the same @mazdar100. The temptation with 25+ years experience is to include everything, but this would be a mistake. Be very selective and focus your achievements in those 25 years through the specific skills/attributes you're being asked for. The interview is where the full richness of those 25 years comes out :-) Raj
@@rajsidhu thank you, good sir.
@@rajsidhu Well, I tried. And there is just no way I can get my CV down to under a full three pages. Even when being selective. I'll give it another pass then likely need to admit defeat..
@@mazdar100 You've been working on it and so you will automatically have made optimisations to that crucial first page - which usually makes or breaks a CV. If there's nothing on the 2nd or 3rd page that the recruiter really NEEDS to see, you've still done a fine job if you leave it at 3 pages. There's no defeat here my friend. Good luck and please know I'm cheering you on. Raj :-)
