Everything Changes when Family is Politically Singled Out & Targeted 😊
Easiest advice I would say is acquire assets as soon as possible. Real estate, stocks, ownership of businesses. Quickest way for lazy person now will be just buying and holding bitcoin for 5 to 10 years. If 0.1 bitcoin could make average person financially stable.
👍🏽👍🏽
Can’t afford ahit these days
I don’t think I could thank you enough; this is what I was struggling with for so long. I'm in my first year and had quite a few spring week experiences, and was going towards the whole Investment Banking route. However, I realized how much it's already affecting my relationships and mental health. I decided that it wasn't for me, and I wanted to have more balance. This video has helped so much to reinforce this idea for me. I've always been an overachiever, and it's so weird trying to tell myself that I don't need to go for the most difficult thing. It’s okay to go into a field that isn't as competitive or prestigious, and just prioritize my happiness
That means a lot. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏽
man this video helped so much, I am giving my GCSEs in a few weeks but I've been watching your videos for so long and it's truly influenced me to plan my career path and they have taught me so many valuable lessons. it's not like other videos too, where normally i'd get bored after a couple mins. you make such engaging videos and im sure youve inspired so many other young people with your advice and videos, really appreciate it big time, thank you
That means a lot. Thank you and good luck with your exams!
Love it! Thank you
Pleasure!
Love these videos man, quality
I appreciate the realistic view and insights
Good advice , always good to look back and reflect and learn
💪🏽💪🏽👊🏽
great video sir, having few views doesn't change the fact that you make top notch content🖤
Great Video, loved it!
Thanks!
Hey Afzal, this is another great video as always! Even at people my age and younger I feel this is something we all struggle with. Everyone has big goals but sometimes the ‘easy and comfortable’ life is often portrayed as a failure on social media
Thanks! Totally agree!
Great video as always!
Thanks!
Amazing content! Love it
Thanks!
Great advice :)
Thanks!
Appreciate this chief - especially as someone who turned 25 (loool my ass is getting old)
😄👊🏽
Top video as ever!
Not related to this, but was wondering if you'd do a video on your thoughts on private/grammar schools vs state and whether you'd want to send your children there. Curious what your take is on this seeing as you're someone who managed to make it in the corporate world and later in entrepreneurship while having gone to a state school.
Think this would be a great video!
Great idea! Have contemplated it before but didn't think there'd be much demand for it. Might make it at some point. Thanks!
@@AfzalHussein Would love to see it!
core finance to get in after undergrad what qualification to gather further
Pls upload a video on it
What about CFA and long term investment?
Within private banking do you recommend becoming an investment manager/counsellor or going down the relationship route to becoming an actual private banker/relationship manager
Whatever you find more interesting/suitable for your goals and interests tbh
Assalamu aleikum brother Afzal,
brother can you please help me out I'm a undergrade student 20 years old. I want to get into the asset management but i dont know how to get through it i dont know how to get internships for asset management and i dont have any kind of work experience also. Can you please help me to know how to land into a asset management internship in India...how to start my working life journey.
W Salam. Search 'Asset Management' videos on the channel. I've done tons of videos on the topic.
I completed my CFA and I cant even get an entry level interview
warra video!
what do you mean by banking and finance careres that are not stressful
Have you ever seen people move from corporate treasury to asset management?
do you think with the midlife crisis bit, its good to take a sabbatical then?
Could be, if your firm offers it, and if you're willing to put a 'pause' on your career growth.
Hi Afzal,I hope you are well. Kealytok recommended for me to reach out to you. Hi Bro, Kealytok recommended to reach out to you. I wanted to ask: my background is I contracted in GTM strategy, consulting, fintech ops. No degree, aiming for doing imc, is it possible for me to break into buy/sellside? I also have some portfolio management experience of TMT equities. But unsure if I am doing it correct in my CV as I mention "Portfolio Management - Equities". I just wanted to reach out for some advice.
Thank you.
What degree should I have to succeed in the investment banking sector?
You don't need any particular degree to succeed. Although, accounting and finance degrees can help a little.
Totally loved this video, a new series to finance topics. This really talks about current generation of people with social media trying to feel them as a failure seeing all the people on internet. I've been struggling with this for a some years. What I need to do to know what I like doing?
Does accounting count as one of these careers?
I guess so
Fmcg careers also
👍🏽
@@AfzalHussein still need to schedule that call brother
Is it too late for us that are 25 idk it feels like I'm trying to figure out all while trying to achieve financial independence
It's never too late. It just means you'll be a little later than you could have been but in the grand scheme of things it's not that significant. Think in decades not in single years.
@@AfzalHussein thank you I'm currently finishing a degree and I have been helping my family business since I started college only reason I asked this question because I feel a bit on all I wanted to do but I'm staring to have a clearer picture. Just been having a feeling of uncertainty lately but thank you for reading my comment and responding I appreciate it.
No probs! Working on the family business is great experience that not many have access to. Be sure to leverage it when it comes to applying for roles. Good luck! Routing for you 😊
Its over
Be basement dweller like me 😎
Go into consulting instead 😏
Bob and Vegene will make u happy Saar
UK salaried are trash compared to thr US jeez
Step 1 - Don’t be Poo in Loo Pojeeet 😂

Same thing I guess. Just requires patience.
@@AfzalHussein is asset management or PE therefore choices out of my reach in your opinion ? I m engineer in shipping industry
fuck the corporate life , learn how to trade, be your own boss
