[@khoowenglum2511]

Woahhh I commented for a video similar to this last week and you made it happen !!!! Thank you Afzal !!!!
After watching: This is perfect ! Almost like a template I could use for planning out my 1st year, really useful, helpful and insightful ! Thank you again Afzal !

[@willrodger1289]

[@weizenconnoisseur]

Hey afzal could you please make a video on the top 15 universities in the uk to study finance mainly from employment perspective, would geniunely help out a lot:)

[@ProXyFullBack]

The excel spreadsheet idea with dates and applications is so simple but I wish I did that at uni. Amount of missed deadlines or giving myself 1 day preparation for an application or test or interview.

[@javierjp8549]

Could you please do a video with advice for those of us who have an industrial experience next year??🙏
Thank you for this great video

Hey Afzal,
I’m looking at applying for a degree apprenticeship with JP Morgan and similar firms next year and I would appreciate it if you could quickly give me your opinion on how I can make my cover letter and CV stand out from the rest of the applicants. Obviously because I will only just have left sixth form I won’t have had the opportunity to do spring weeks and internships so what extra experiences would you suggest I look for to help my application get accepted. I have just secured some work experience but I would really appreciate any other advice.
Thank you for your time and I love the videos, very insightful

[@PhoebeJones]

another great video:) how do you add timestamps?

[@hipsterbelt4292]

I'm a first year going into second year studying economics at a semi-target uni how could I curate my CV to improve my chances into getting internships for asset management/spring weeks (thinking of doing a masters)

[@Kaplann]

Great video, I just feel as if this is pretty unrealistic as most banks don't hire first year students especially do to the fact that the applications open before these students have even started school. Much more opportunities are available second year.

[@nagapravalikarangisetti4756]

Hey Afzal, thanks for the insightful videos. I am Pravalika from India .I will pursuing MSc Investment and Finance this sept 2021. Is this spring week apply for master student as well ? Can I apply ?

[@paul-augustyapo9371]

[@andrewochoa1887]

Where can I go to find out which firms are hiring?

[@yulifts1873]

Hey Afzal, appreciate the videos as always.
It’s near the end of July and I’m about to begin uni at the LSE in Sept. Should I start searching for an internship at a finance-related dept. at a commercial bank (cold-calling, etc)? Because I have no relevant work exp for my spring internship application

[@JustinBieberFan957]

did cold callling work for u?

[@hasnatt8889]

Give us an update bro??

[@orlandofurioso392]

Can you do one for people doing a Master with no work experience?

[@Gungus-v1g]

Wait.. I should already have a CV and be submitting applications?! X___X

[@zunaidrafique4148]

I can’t decide between consulting and ib… I’m yet to start Uni this sept… can u make a video about consl vs ib and how to choose between the two please

[@stormy4537]

Needed this last year

[@Derpywhalz]

TBH lol still good content

[@cristianfx7533]

as a first year how would u get internships? i feel like you won’t have much work experience or relevant experience? or are there specific applications for first years?

[@lukeslifestyle8846]

Spring weeks - companies don’t expect you to have relevant work experience at this point.

[@tacoo.catt.]

sir, I'm planning to pursue a career in the world of investment banking, I see very few women in this field of work, do you give one-on-one mentorship sessions? your guidance would greatly help me with my career choices! cheers!

[@user-bz8zq4mk3l]

Do pe firms or hedge funds provide internships ?

[@samarthgandhi3369]

same question here mate?

[@seigemain]

is this guide mostly for econ/finance student? or can someone like a computer science major also do this ?

[@EvadeModsRGH]

If you’re in a top uni, your course is irrelevant

[@-ZED-]

@@EvadeModsRGH would you class Exeter as a top uni? It's ranked 13th ?

[@rajendrarathi8613]

How much do you make per month

[@-ZED-]

Lol he said before I think he ain't allowed to discuss that part of his contract I think
