Hey Ben! Thanks for sharing! I am looking for jobs rn, and I found ur broadcast on Spotify! Finally found them heređđđ learn a lot from them! Thanks Ben!!!
Great interview, thanks for the good content!
Great video! Thanks for the good content
đDo what everybody else is doing if you are okay with only having what everybody else has.Information that will pay you everyday, you've got to stop saving all your money.
Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
Choose to grow and elevate your mind by studying audios, videos, attending conferences that will give you the edge!
Lately Iâve been thinking of buying cryptocurrency for retirement, Iâve set asides $350k to invest but along the line,I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what Iâm doing, please I could really use some guidelines.
@@andysyaputra1787 In situations like this,I always recommend to people on getting guidance at least from someone that understands price action and all that while you strive on improving yourself by watching videos and learning fundamental analysis.
Investment guidance sounds like a great idea,thought about it before but never knew how to go about it.
@@camachoschubert868 I used to invest on my own because of making your money work for you mentality but never made any progress until I sought the guidance of Juan Antonio Landa and she has made me understand that strategy is everything.
WowâŠ..Juan Antonio Landa?
Great insight ben đ
Thanks Pooja. This was great. You mentioned in another video about you had a gap year before MBA? How did you explain that in apps?
Hey Ben, I've been watching your videos. I'm a civil engineer with no finance background. Do you recommend Wall Street prep or Financial Edge for preparing for job interview? Thanks for your advice^^
Ben, you look a little tired, it would be overwhelming to manage MBA and your business. Take a breather from time to time, at least for the first few months! You're gonna kill it!
Keep it up!
Great Content
Can you please make a full video on whole of your application to wharton and read out your essays in order to completely understand how to go about during the mba application journey.
Wow, cool, I didn't know what a search fund was either! Really enjoy the entrepreneurial element of these videos and seeing how they tie into people's studies.
Nice video đč
Hey brother...i am from Bangladesh..would you please make a video about UN?their pros and cons..salary ranges..specially of world bank..like IFC and MIGA
Can u please make vedio about Accountant .
Top knotch content! The idea of a search fund sounds really interesting. If you could expound more on how the intricacies work, what it takes to be part of one and maybe have a testimonial, that would be great. Learn a lot, thanks!!
I would look into search funder. I had a search fund internship my senior year of college. I honestly felt like I learned more about business in those few months than my whole college experience.
Great content, thank you for doing this! I have a quick question: Why is it A LOT harder to go to the buy-side when you are 30/32/etc? Is 30/32/etc a random number or buy-side view those ages as OLD?
I have friends in the sector but short answer is, only if you are trying to break into the industry. If you have experience then moving to similar roles, even if not higher paying or higher 'title' level of authority is not a problem. Due to them not wanting to train someone much older and fact that they can chose many younger people with experience on buyside.
What did you study in uni?
I've been diligently working, saving, and investing toward financial independence and early retirement, but the economy since the pandemic has eaten up the majority of my $3 million portfolio. I want to know: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets, or do I look into alternative sectors?
Just try to diversify your portfolio to other market sectors, that way your investment is balanced and you donât get to make so much losses.
I stopped listening and taking financial advise from these CZcamsrs, because at the end of the day, I end up with a bunch of confusing stocks without knowing when to take profit, In reality, all I needed was professional advice.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?
