    Great video! Glad to see what other analyst's lifestyle is like. I'm a financial analyst, currently still WFH and our routine is very much similar, but your job scope seems to be so much more interesting which makes me eager to request to move into another department which does market analytical stuffs lol.

    hey man, great job on the video, i'm a market analyst too and is funny to find how our lives coincide not just work wise but also life style, for example, i too try not to wake up my gf first thing in the morning, have ham sandwich for lunch, doing (almost) the same ab workout after dinner and diy my protein shake afterwards and do like half hour reading before bed. and i read Ray Dalio's Principles before covid and read his Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crisis last year. I now wonder if my colleagues have the exact life styles now lmao

    Awesome video, I'm currently a honor role PSU finance major and econ minor, looking to get into something finance wise. Top choices are FP&A, equity research junior, and your particular job which is risk analyst. I have a question for you, during your daily job do you also recommend price targets or for example maybe further illustrate financial research that encourages the other members of your team to invest into that stock as part of your risk analyst position ? Also I know this is a very newbie question here but what certs helped ? CFA ?

    • @aaron_yao
      @aaron_yao  Год назад

      What you're describing sounds more like the job of the Research team - they will be the ones to provide market color for the purpose of informing trading decisions. And for my particular job, no certifications are necessary but for equity research, a CFA would definitely help.

    Do you go to your apartment gym or a nearby one? My biggest fear is not being able to workout once getting a real job. My internship allows me to be done before 5pm so I have plenty of time to go and still be in bed by 11pm.

    • @aaron_yao
      @aaron_yao  2 года назад +1

      When I recorded this video I had a gym in my apartment building but I have since moved to NYC so I've been going to a local gym. If your hours don't deviate too much from your internship, I'm sure you'll still be able to make it to the gym. I know many people that have much longer work days than me and they are still able to consistently work out.
