Please keep the PE videos coming. They are so informative and helpful. Thank you Ben đ
Great vid Ben! I think it's super valuable to make this content and team up with classmates who have gone through the process! Way to use your network!
Great video! Thanks so much for all the insight into a day in the life in a position I'm trying to break into, it's extremely helpful.
Helpful video. Thanks for sharing!
So excited to start my career in PE!
It sounds like a bad day at Private Equity is still better than a bad day at Investment Bank. I remember you told us you worked till 10 am in the morning one time at JP.
Helps a lot, thanks
Pls do more DCF models and the long awaited LBO models
A hedge fund day in the life would be great to!
Hey do you already have a video on excel
Shortcuts and how to use as an IB or PE candidate? Showing shortcuts and easier ways to navigate them
Awesome. Could you breakdown TDR capital takeover of Asda supermarkets
I LOVE THIS FUCKING CHANNEL SO MUCH
Hey Ben, have you ever watched Paolo from Tokyo's "Day in the Life of" video series? Really awesome. He literally goes through the entire day with them from start to finish. It might be a cool idea to do something similar for the far, far future if possible, if you're thinking of making more Good/Bad days, A Day in the Life of-esque videos. Production value looks very high, however.
But yeah, 4 hours sleep for days on end? No thank you.
Would be awesome! But I imagine not so easy to get the authorization to film...
@@woldie7 Yeah, I was giving that a thought; like, how does Paolo get the authorisation to get into every work place? I'm not sure, but if there was a way I think it would look really, really cool to see things from the inside!
interesting ill check him out thx!
@@barryaherne215 i think once Paolo does it a few times, he get's a bunch of examples to show to future places/people that he wants to work with (basically having a good track record / reputaion), which allows him to continue working with bigger and bigger places/people
â@@SKAOG21 Mhmmm, so start small and build from there.
Do you think it would be possible for Ben to do something similar?
Hi Ben. When you mention financial news post that they read, they used to read WSJ more than Bloomberg? Or is there any difference in that?
Can you do a video on investor relations?
Hey Ben, I am trying to sign up for the PE certificate program, and I am running into a problem. I am trying to sign up today 3/19, but it is only taking $300 off. I was wondering who I should contact to fix the issue. Thank you!
Sounds about right
Hey ben,
Can I get into top b schools like insead hec paris Wharton university for MBA if I have 4 year work experience as a data analyst or will they prefer that candidate should have work experience in an mba related domain
Can you please make a separate video on how to transition from IT to MBA grad from top b schools?
hi ben, just wondering if have any insight on how often private equity associates travel and how much it increases as you move up the food chain? i'm really interested in private equity but suck at traveling!
always depends on the firm you're at + the week but my friends travel quite a bit for diligence before investment and to manage their portfolio companies.
A day in the life of someone working at a hedge fund would be great too
will add to the list
@@rareliquid Agreed, day in the life of a hedge fund trader would be a great add to your channel.
Hi! Been viewing ur DCF videos and i cant see that u use a margin of safety? If not why so?
We are waiting for LBO model. You promised to make in February.
school is really busy. i only made 3 videos in jan / feb and so i'll do my best to publish in march. issue is just i need to make ppt materials and refresh some modeling skills before i can make a good video about it. so apologies for the delay but i'm doing my best
Take your time. Love your videos!
â@@avaj2233 why r u so entitled?
Give him a break ffs heâs doing his MBA and putting out content.
â@@bulletspike8101could just be a troll mimicking investment banking culture, because fyi that's honestly how a lot of people talk to each other in IB
Congrats
How often are the good days and how often the bad ones haha?
How do you survive the bad days? Wow.
TUITION $4,800, no man!
Too expensive!
Working in Private Equity sounds kind of cool but then I start thinking if there is any real point to the work. Making millions but not really creating anything.
fair
(Constructive?) pushback here, as much as I respect this channel, you've never been a PE asso before. I'd have expected you to interview some of your ex-PE classmates. What is this video based off of, other than 'trust me bro', ex-IB?
did u listen to the beginning part where i said i worked with my friend in PE on the script? she wrote most of the script and worked in PE
@@rareliquid lol cool. Peace âïž
@@armitageshanks2499 lol
@@harryzhou3926 haha, I skip around in these sort of vids đ€
Delete the comment, dude this shit is embarrassing
As an ex-investment banker, I'd be bored to death with that schedule. 4 pm lunch is what I am accustomed too.
Although, like a much better job than managing funds for family offices.
All the best for your MBA.
You lost a lot of credibility when you referred to Thoma Bravo as âThomas Bravoâ
damn, the comments toxic on this one
This is so naive !
Please dcf models :(
Hi goldsman hire mba graduate as associate or analyst ?
Definately analyst. Associate would be extremely hard and in reality not that realistic. Theres pretty much nobody that starts as an associate (ofc even with mba) that was able to skip the 2-3 years of being an analyst just to directly jump into associate
