      The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

    • @Sarah-ui3vd

      Investors should be cautious about their exposure and be wary of new buys, especially during inflation. Such high yields in this recession is only possible under the supervision of a professional or trusted advisor.

      True, initially I wasn't quite impressed with my gains, opposed to my previous performances, I was doing so badly, figured I needed to diversify into better assets, I touched base with a portfolio-advisor and that same year, I pulled a net gain of 550k...that's like 7times more than I average on my own.

    Aren't these compensations really based on NYC firms (where most IB/PE companies are)? I doubt these compensations would be align for IB/PE firms in Texas for example. Correct? or is this pretty universal regardless of location?

    • @rareliquidcareers
      @rareliquidcareers  Před 2 lety +1

      pretty standard across most of the US. for example at jpmorgan it didn't matter if you were in SF, LA, or NY, you would get the same compensation. so for elite boutiques / bulge bracket banks / most middle market banks, pay will be similar across offices. but at the smaller regional boutique level, i could see compensation being drastically different depending on location / firm
      in europe / asia / other countries outside of the US though the compensation is very different

    I'm kind of speaking from an unknown place here, but I did a quick Googley to see how things are here in Europe, and what I found was that the maximum amount of hours that one can work in a week is 48, and employees are entitled to at least an 11 hour break every 24 hours. That would lead me to a few thoughts/questions:
    Maybe I'm a little naive here and it does happen in some industries, but the idea of working up to 100 hour weeks would not be allowed in the EU legally, especially combined with having 9 hours at most between finishing and starting. That being said, if IB does indeed happen over here, then deals must be completed in a much longer window, so then why can't the same happen in the U.S? It wouldn't be anything to do with those wonderful, non-exploitative labour laws, would it?

      There might be laws but the fact is that analysts also have to work for 70+ hours in Europe. It might be a bit more in the US but they are also earning more. The economy depends on investment bankers and strategy consultants. That's why politics doesn't step in. Hope that clarifies.
