    Hey! I love your channel. Always enjoy your videos.
    I’m going into college this next fall. Figuring out my next few years of interning etc.
    . I am quite inspired to become an investment banker, I am an ultra runner, so some good hard work is a passion of mine -
    I have heard a bit about consulting, I was curious what your thoughts on consulting vs banking is?
    It seems you see banking is an amazing step in pushing your limits, and gaining experience.
    Thanks so much,
    Owen.

    Highly recommend them if you're interested in recruiting for investment banking. Instructor is the same one that taught me and hundreds of other analysts at my time at JP Morgan during summer training.

    In tech sales you get all that minus the long hours. Pay isn't as great and guaranteed. One can argue you learn more senior level skills younger in your career. Like having to articulate value to C-suite individuals to get them to get a certain outcome.

    Hi Ben, great video! I'm from the UK I am starting my business management degree and have decided to specialise in accounting and I'm a slightly older student at 23 so I'm taking my career choice very seriously and would like to know whether you think I'm a good fit for investment banking. I've never been and still aren't a maths whizz but I have always been fascinated by how stocks and large companies work and how they are valued and manage, allocate and raise capital. I also understand and respect the value of time and money and how the two are closely connected, especially in todays society so even though I aren't great at maths, I understand maths when put into context. As a former banker, what's your opinion? I'd really appreciate your reply, Ashley.

    I left IB after 4 years cuz of the toxic work culture and lack of diversity. If you’re black or PoC, you get treated differently and get passed over for promotions. It was exhausting and I wish I got out sooner for the sake of my mental health. It really is like a boys’ club/frat. Solid video, but definitely not for everyone
