    I love videos like these! They’re kinda like attending a seminar.

    Just recognized you earlier this week. Your videos are really well done and it's easy to stay with you for the whole 15-25 minutes. 2 tips for your videos: 1. Please do a max of 1 jump-cut per minute, it's really annoying, 2. i would recommend you to film from a little more behind the desk (maybe like in your "A Day in the Life of a Goldman Sachs Analyst"-video).
    Keep up the good work!

    Hello Afzal, thank you for your tips and for your work, you are doing good. My best friend's cousin is a MD in a bank, I am not from a target school and I am from Paris, I have some experiences, one in a big 4 in audit. What would be the best way to network with my friend's cousin without being rude or too frontal.

      I could do a whole video on this! Long story short, my passions for entrepreneurship, public speaking and helping young people break into tough industries, often from disadvantaged backgrounds, were greater than anything else.
