Just make sure you like what you're doing and you're not doing it for the "money". I put money in quotes because for most people in investment banking, it's not really worth it since a couple things are going on... for one, you work 90 hours. That's over TWO full time jobs... so you'd better be getting paid more. Also, you most likely work in a high-cost-of-living area. So that's also something to consider. Lastly you most likely went to an expensive target school where you've gotta pay back a crap ton of loans... are you really happy in the end? I know people working at target in the suburbs that are leading less stressful and happier lives with family and simple living, clean quiet neighborhoods, greenery, etc. in comparison to the high stress fast paced life of an investment banker in the city.
Loans really aren't too much of a hassle, also if u purchase instead of rent ur sitting on substantial capital incase u decide to move to a different career path after earning a shit tonne of money
Unfortunately there is little information about those jobs that have better work-life balance. Anywhere you look, there is mostly discussion about the prestigious consulting/ investment banking roles in the major cities.
I think him being more experienced and Afzal Hussein giving his input of a little bit more less but still very valuable experience would give an audience two different perspective which they can compare.

Most people in IB only do this for 2-3 years while searching for exit ops to hedge funds, private equity or venture capital. An analyst earns low 6 figures in IB, in those wanted fields you can earn high 6 figures after entering while working less hours and with a more flexible schedule. Associates, VPs and MDs in both IB and the other fields work less hours and VPs and MDs tend to hit 7 figures. Not bad at all if you ask me. In hedge funds you can even hit 7 as an analyst depending on your performance.
Isaac Shuster S thank you for your insight bro . So an analyst would earn low 6 figures like 100k or sumn ? I thought you start on like 40k/70k or sumn . Also can we connect on LinkedIn please ? You seem informed
@@isaacshusters1620 i am more interested on how do you improve your quantitative skill since it is neceseryfor the job, do you have books recommendation for that. especially for a highschooler
Thanks again for the tips a couple days ago (I’m the CPA in audit at PwC). I’m going to focus on nailing down technicals and start applying for analyst roles at solid PE/IB firms, but more realistically I’ll just transfer into our financial due diligence group in San Francisco.

It's sound fascinating but it's not! My sister is investment banker currently working in Goldman Sachs. And trust me! Working hr is brutal! Her office timing are 9 to 10 sometimes 11! And that's not the end even when she's at home at 11! She get call from clients abt deals n oll coz her client are from us. In investment banks you get clients globally. She literally work 90-100hrs a week! But yea if you want money investment banking is for you and if you want social life investment banking isn't a great option for you! My sister is making 96000£ as a base salary and last year she got bonus of 73k£! So In total she made 169k£ in 1 year! That's a lot of money!
I don’t think it’s right for me, but there will people out there who’d love this job! Honestly, it sounds like hell. I make £40k at my job and there’s one month in the year where I work long hours. I feel for these guys, they get strung along but ultimately most of them will end up with high debts and no life
others at low wage have to work for lesser hours a day for lifetime or until 60 atleast. they work almost entire day everyday and are in a position to retire at 35 age
I don't understand, when do they have time to clean the house, wash clothes, make lunch/dinner to take to work? And more importantly, when do you rest? I'm thinking about doing Master Degree in Financial Analysis or Finance, But i want my 8 hours of sleep :O :O :O
It was shocking for me honestly... Not the hours, I knew about them, but what they were spend on. Editing presentations, basically marketing staff. Those 3 boxes of docs... Why can't they send electronic version, where a search would take only few minutes? Electronic docs are a lot more secure than paper too. Thanks for sharing those details. It's unbelievably helpful.
Im a uni student studying econ and finance and im wondering whether this field of work is even worth it. Would it even be possible to have a family whilst working in this field?
Most people don’t stay in IB for very long. A lot of people are able to exit into more laid back jobs that are still well-paying. It is 100% worth it because IB is great on a resume.
I'll never understand why these banks don't just hire more people and give you normal working hours. However, than you for the great insider look into the secret chambers of IB
Completed an internship in IB it was awful! The hours are insane, after grad school I chose risk management instead. Good pay, 40-50 a week and get to work from home on fridays. 😊
You must have been in a boutique. Investment banking is for over-achievers; in order to get into the industry and end up at a regarded firm, you will have to devote the vast part of your life to studying. No one goes into investment banking with the expectation to work 40 hours a week. And if someone goes there, he or she does not do so only to leave after an internship that followed years of preparation and doing X and Y in order to boost his or her resume.
wow this might be the most educational and insightful video about investment banking on the internet, also makes you wonder if you really want to spend the best years of your life sitting in an office for 16 hours a day.
Its worth it in the long run! Put it this way I would do it all over again in a heart beat... One of the things I forgot to mention is because I wasn't alone in the office, it's actually a lot better then it seems... all of the Analyst come together to help each other out the moment we ask. Maybe that should be my next video?

How would very much like to see you make a video on how new IB analysts/associates adjust and cope with long hours without going bonkers! That can be a great video..
Currently studying for my bachelor's in finance. Im glad I watched this video, because now I know I definitely don't want to be an investment banker. The amount of time consumed is rediculous. Do you even get time to exercise?
Logan Serface They still get exercise time. I see all the bankers at Equinox getting in their workout then returning to the office all the time🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
So much inefficiency! Investment bankers are not medical doctors or scientists. You only need to work 45 hours a week max (even that is too much). Companies could hire 2-3 people instead of a single person who will then produce sub-par work due to the excessive hours, leading to waste. Unlike healthcare or scientific research, IB's have the funds and capacity to do this.
@BambiTheOG he mentioned multiple aspects to the one project that multiple people were already working on. A few more would not hurt that and would indeed increase efficiency.
@BambiTheOG To address your first point, they have a plethora of excellent candidates to choose from as there is currently an oversupply. Having 3 people instead of 1 who work more efficient hours does not increase labour costs when they are paid pro rata the same. In fact many investment banks are slowly learning this. Secondly, this again can be handled by a specialist team member who can work those hours and has access to the resources of the rest of the team. I know several investment firms that take this approach. Thirdly, same as above. Fourthly, this is why one of the hires is a client service specialist like other investment firms have. So the initial point still holds. This is why there is in fact a trend to hire more staff on flexible hours; the results are showing increases in productivity. Traditional IB is very stodgy and slow to learn, but over time market forces do apply to them which is why these trends are emerging. That said, there are still far too many people that think 'oh it was always done this way' rather than think to innovate. I do fully see where you're coming from, but I also think that a lot of places are very myopic and have efficiency issues.
@BambiTheOG I know the consulting firm I work with would love to do that. The big banks I have seen adopt a flexible working approach include Lloyds, Bank of America, Commonwealth Bank, HSBC, and Westpac. I have heard JP Morgan employees in the UK claim this but I am skeptical based on who those employees are.
EJay's Big Life What school do you plan to go to for business or college? Also how old are you? Sorry if I’m being too personal. I haven’t met anyone with the same goals before 😹
NYC IB doesn't have these hours. Guess London's work is more manual. We tend to automate more work here so we don't run into these hours. But then again, I'm an MD what do I know lol.
Hey! I know this is a stretch, or maybe not, but would you be interested in beta testing my app in December? The reason why I ask is because I’m working on a start up, Observe; allowing students an opportunity to test drive their future by observing professionals in their field etc. Observe will also allow professionals to share their insight in their respective field and build their personal brand etc If you’re not able to do beta testing, no worries, I totally understand. Maybe later. If you are, I would just add you to the list.

Somehow it weirdly pumped up my work morale - compared to yours style, mine looks like no-brainer. Thanks for sharing. I’m just wondering how physically can u sustain in that way - do u still have time to gym?
Im an intern at an IB since march (although in the CEE region). Yep, the work isnt as interesting as I had imagined after 3 weeks and since Im located in the CEE region, the pay isnt lambo money either.
@@away5534 to be fair its better than any jobs Ive ever had and it opened up opportunities that I would have never had. For example Ive got accepted to a dutch masters program with scholarship and I switched to another boutique IB in a different country in Europe. As for the work life balance its probably a lot better here than in London/New York/Frankfurt/Paris but we also get compensated a lot less. Honestly I think if you can get in, its a good opportunity compared to random corporate job out there as you learn a lot, get to listen in on talks with ceos etc. On the other hand I cant compare it with other good options such as working at a startup or a consulting firm as Ive never worked at one. Currently I am thinking about going down the data science or management consulting route after my masters just try to switch to buy side.
how does one find a company that is hiring for an intern or something similar like in this video? Indeed? Linkedin? or do you have to go the building physically?
Starbucks coffee costs around 5$. It’s 6 cups so $30 per day, $210 per week and $840 per month! Coffee! You can make your own coffee at around 20 cents which would be $33.6. You’d save 806.4 per month just by making your own coffee.
not just if you have kids and family, just generally for someone who really cares about a work-life balance. also, the hours are the worst in the IB division anyway. people working in that division literally have almost no time for their hobbies, interests and socialising.

@@away5534 to be fair its better than any jobs Ive ever had and it opened up opportunities that I would have never had. For example Ive got accepted to a dutch masters program with scholarship and I switched to another boutique IB in a different country in Europe. As for the work life balance its probably a lot better here than in London/New York/Frankfurt/Paris but we also get compensated a lot less. Honestly I think if you can get in, its a good opportunity compared to random corporate job out there as you learn a lot, get to listen in on talks with ceos etc. On the other hand I cant compare it with other good options such as working at a startup or a consulting firm as Ive never worked at one.
Currently I am thinking about going down the data science or management consulting route after my masters just try to switch to buy side.
how does one find a company that is hiring for an intern or something similar like in this video? Indeed? Linkedin? or do you have to go the building physically?
How applicable would this be for a leveraged finance analyst?
Damn that was in a Boutique. I can't even imagine how IB workload would be for an analyst in an Bulge Bracket bank like GS or JP
It’s not too different maybe 100-120 hours on a busy deal week but they get paid more and have better exit opps
No drinking beer, no girls. I cant
This job is one of my dreams, high stress yes but the money on payday will increase the energy back 😅
So how did you have time to make this video...
But if you're selling the company, the share price should decrease, right?
Appreciate your effort
do you get compensated for odd hours like on weekends? How does it work?
Starbucks coffee costs around 5$. It’s 6 cups so $30 per day, $210 per week and $840 per month! Coffee! You can make your own coffee at around 20 cents which would be $33.6. You’d save 806.4 per month just by making your own coffee.

Just out of curiosity, judging by your accent, do you come from Mauritius or do you have any Mauritian origins?
Are we able to add you on LinkedIn?
Excellent Vid
Do different sections of Investment Banking make different amounts? I see he mentioned he was in M&A or something idk
why do you think is it worth to work +12h in IB? Im out from this industry and planning involve soon
Do you mean 90 hrs from Monday to Friday or from Monday to Sunday?
6-7 days a week as an analyst.
Is the "IM" an alternative to marketing materials?
100% not a job if u have kids and family. People should rather go into tech and might even make more money than in banking and u get home by 5pm.
not just if you have kids and family, just generally for someone who really cares about a work-life balance. also, the hours are the worst in the IB division anyway. people working in that division literally have almost no time for their hobbies, interests and socialising.
@@alimalek559 Heard tho a couple days ago, its only in the USA. In Europa like in London its not that worse. They might only work 60h a week but dont know about. I find this field interesting buy im sort of a family person
Great video!
