It's like you wake up and ask yourself "How can I be an even more wholesome guy than I was yesterday?" Solid advice as always.

[@user-jb5ey4ky9x]

I am in year 12
Which banks offer work experience and when do their applications open?

[@xaudaniel]

you're a year above me, did you continue in this path? How's it going.

[@SasukeUchiha-zj4zx]

Hey Afzal thanks for the informative video. I have a question though. Are accounting and finance degrees looked down upon or seen as a strong degree in the world of finance. And do you know anyone who earns a good salary with this degree?

[@AfzalHussein]

Hey, thanks. Degree has very little to do with anything. You learn everything on the job. There are successful people in the industry who studied languages and non-finance degrees.

[@SasukeUchiha-zj4zx]

Afzal Hussein yeh I understand all your videos have taught me that but at the end of the day is accounting and finance a good degree or looked down upon? It’s okay if you can’t necessarily answer this question dw

[@m20001]

CV with 4 years working experience - 1 or 2 pages?

[@AfzalHussein]

4 years work experience after graduating? 2 pages.

[@m20001]

3 years as an apprentice and one year as an assosciate - thank you :)

[@nutech1810]

My family is retired. My bosses retired. My grandma died young.... and I am an introvert. Lucky me. Teachers I never met, because they were online forever ago

Can I Connect With You On LinkedIn?

[@rnvf.1564]

‘Let’s grab a coffee’ didn’t age well

[@PaidPal]

I'm missing the logic here: if everyone follows this advice, in a week time linkedin is polluted with "let's go for a coffee" messages.
Seriously?
