It makes a big difference if you can find teams that will grind during the week to try to avoid all weekend work. When I was in banking I preferred working those extra 8 hours you worked on Sunday spread over the week (so let’s say 1-2am) and then getting 2 full days off. Also this is why targeting banks/groups with good cultures is so important.
90% of the people who are aspiring to be in this situation will end up regretting the amount of hours you put in, specially in the best years of your life - ruining your health and have a lot of money, but no time to actually spend it usefully for experiences so you will just end up living flashy lifestyle trying to please others or buy stuff you don't even need and get into debt most likely. Saying that as a lawyer myself who ended up sometimes working long hours trying to explain myself it's for the best but felt kind of miserable.. anyways.. it is a lifestyle.. but there are better lifestyle than that.. now I'm travelling the world doing random jobs here and there.. it pays the bills and lets me do budget travelling and be in over 50 countries while I'm just 30 years old. Not saying I will never go back, but for now - for me and my well being - I see that my current path is the way to go. Remember - don't be afraid to leave everything if it does not feel right - create your own path no matter what people around you say!
new subscriber here and definitely love these week in my lifes! I used to work at Big4 and the hours are insane too so just remember to take care of urself!! looking forward to more videos :)
I'm stunned that IB firms require Sunday as a work day. It seems so unfair. My advice is: to anyone who does not own real estate in NYC, find a corporate job in a city with a lower cost of living where you will work 45-55 hrs and you will have the same standard of living, and probably save the same amount of money. Plus you can spare the insane real estate costs, and own your home much earlier. Just an opinion.
yeahhhh going into banking i feel like everyone has a rough idea that it'll be a terrible work-life balance 😭 but knowing that it's only short-term suffering helps LOL. if you know what you want to exit into then it's worth. gooood luck with recruiting!!
It’s one of many few industries where you have to work crazy hours plus with crazy pay . Everyone has their own preference. That’s their company their policy .
If I were ever to get a “job”, I’d want to become a real estate agent to learn sales and then from there become a full time investor. Option 2: Investment Banker with MBA in Finance
@@thomassangz9194 Entry level so analyst right out of college makes a 110-130 base depending on the bank and then anywhere from 60-100/110k bonus depending on performance.
Hi Angie, really luv ur videos, but I too want to become an I banker just like u, what is the best bachelors degree in The US to take up, to pursue IB,just to be sure I am still in high school
Prestige, comp is like 160k for entry level, so you are working like a full time and a pt job for 160k not too bad. Bonus is great too I think. Also some people just want to grind. When I was 15 I was working 15 hour shifts in construction and electrical, it was only 3 days a week max mind you but it wasn’t bad at all and I would’ve done more. I was paid more than some adults by the hour 15$ (minimum was 13$ then).
is there a purpose or benefit to working this many hours? you mention a time zone difference with clients but there's also shift work. i know in europe this kind of work culture is taboo and the "always being available" culture is an american thing. it seems more like a hazing ritual or an "it's always been done this way" kind of thing, or a way to prove your dedication rather than there actually being any long-term benefit
Hello sis This is the first time watching your videos. I love it!!! Which major did you study in college in order to become an investment banker? I would be grateful if you share about your lifestyle and anything possible related to investment banker. Thank you!
Hey Angie , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
IB is a mega bucks gig and career. So happy for you, all the best.

loving these vids! this is my dream job and your uploads are keeping me inspired to work hard :)
This was a really good overview. I can see why people are so heavily invested in this career and the high burnout rate.

Aww thank you! Hope ur thriving in life now 😌😌
I loved working for an IB remotely. I could wake up when I want and go to the gym when I want. I have no problem working the rest of my time!
i like that u still take gym breaks in between work time 👍
so hard to force myself to go when im dead from work 😭but I'm trying hahah

F that. Very very few ppl will work these hours in America. They couldn't pay me enough. More power to you sis
literally dk how you do it 😭 rising sophomore at target who’s probably gonna get sucked into it but i’m just really contemplating if i can survive it

@@angies_listt whats your exit plan? and how many YOE in banking before your exit?
Your new subscriber. Please make a vlog about your education back ground and how you get this job, Thank you! :)
Yoooo, I love these videos! Please upload more day in the life vlogs daily please :)
This is super unhealthy long term. Please take care of yourself. Thank you for being so transparent. Being asked to work on Sunday should be illegal.

She looks happy
i know you're gon become a big channel one day, pls do make a video on your education
I think I’ll stick to my regular accounting job with flexible hours making $120k.
I used to work with securities and asset management. I understand you really well
Isn’t asset management a little bit better in work/life balance?i swear my Wife will leave me if i was an IB
@@thomassangz9194 I believe we have pro and coin. But yes I agree with you. I can even imagine if I be IB was I still be able to go out dating.

I also would work unnatural hours and times for visibility to 1mm per year comp in my early 30s. Keep grinding!
Really funny that statement was "Sunday is an official workday in investment banking".😂😂
These videos are so soothing lol
Do investment bankers typically get paid for working those late hours at home? Or waking up to work at 3AM? Any info would be great. Thankyou. 🙏🏼
Nope we all get paid a salary-base. There is no overtime unfortunately 🥲(but interns do get paid hourly rate and overtime)
@@angies_listtwhat could be the range of an IB salary base?

Please upload more videos
this is very similar to large law firm hours
You pay the cost to be the boss and absolutely will get to 10,000 hours/mastery in what your training quicker!
How interested are you in this line of work and what sort of exit opportunities are you looking at?
Love these videos! Looking forward to more ☺️
thank youu love youu
Im so proud of u my love. 🫂💛
Working on a Sunday? Thought that was only done in retail jobs
Hi Angie, really luv ur videos, but I too want to become an I banker just like u, what is the best bachelors degree in The US to take up, to pursue IB,just to be sure I am still in high school
In your role, do you have any face-to-face contact with clients? Is there any sales/negotiating involved?
wow you made it to the top
I have s doubt at what age would we finally get a job
How does the salary work? What is the incentive to work sooooo much?
bonus can be up to 100% of ur base.
If you don't they have the next person ready to replace you.

Hello! New viewer here. Just wondering if investment banker do sales?
Do you take vacations?
Hello sis This is the first time watching your videos. I love it!!! Which major did you study in college in order to become an investment banker? I would be grateful if you share about your lifestyle and anything possible related to investment banker. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
What degree and university did you attend
How much do you get paid a year?
DO you eat anything else other Korean food?. Its like Indians leaving India and all they eat is Indian food??
do you think your paycheck makes up for the long hours you work?
yes if you have the right drugs to go through it
do you live in flushing?
what is the name of the park?
How much do bankers get paid working this many hours?! 😮 I only make 150k but work 35 hrs a week in a low cost of living state
ONLY
Respect the grind but the more I hear about jobs like this the more I realize I never could and would never want to do this
Most women dropped out from this industry after 2 years
They couldnt handle the stress of long hours
lol same with my job! Last week worked 82 hour, this week 50 hours, next week 100 hours😅
work on Sunday wtf?
Use an ergonomic keyboard. You'll thank me later.
Hey Angie , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
Hi i am going to be doing mu UG from canada, which unis are the best to break intothe finance industry(Eg:waterloo,mcmaster etc)
you definitely seem like you are not cut for this job the most productive thing would be to quit
This kind of job will quickly burn you out. Make your money and be your own boss. You calling the shots beats the hell out of being a slave to money.
Long hours, better get paid a lot.
Wtf we’re working to live not living to work seriously…
What a sad life!
You know what's even more sad? Being unemployed and having to use social security as a retirement.
Ok..
Right cause there is nothing in between THAT and being unemployed.
Why is it sad? Maybe she likes her job and it will prepare her for a career she wants
@@emilyau8023bruh in New York the taxes taken from an investment banker or those in similar pay grades makes it not worth it at all
Please post more videos
loool im trying!!! just posted a new one on my journey to ib :))
한국인인거 같네
Sad
can't be that bad as you have time to shower and put on make-up!
I am tired of these martyrs thinking they are somehow special…what nonsense.
it's very bad.. basically no life
Yea, no offense, but F that. Don't care how much money you're making - it's not worth it.
Are you single?
Gotta pay tor that welfare state
youre wasting your life making money for other people, no matter how much you get paid its never worth your youth
I'll happily trade my youth to secure my adulthood. I want to be filthy rich and do whatever I want as an old person.
Is there anything more annoying than a video with typing in it?
Your dog must be miserable.
Waste of a life
what degree do u need to be a investment banker?
