I'd love to see a video on how to analyse a bank's financial statements and what they say about Financials vs other stock market sectors.

@financialwellnesswithdev Год назад

Great and detail information. That was really helpful. Thanks a lot..!!

@Luna-qu1xp Год назад

Great video! I guess you have to ask yourself what your priorities are between those factors. For me I want a sustainable career and I just would burn out in that New York work culture. One thing I noticed when working in the New York office v London office is that the New York office is less social when it comes to after work but also when it comes to talking about personal life at work.

One of the things that often doesnt get mentioned is that UK pensions are way better, ie where I work I get 13% of my salary from my employer put into my pension and I get 30 days off a year. I have lived mostly in London but also NYC and cost of living in London is a lot less. When you compare the full package + the fact UK firms cant just sack you on the spot when down turns happen. So the full comp is closer than the headline figure of salary + bonus that most people see. Then lifestyle as well when you live in London is better imo. I can fly out to anywhere I like in the world and north america just cant compete with europe in terms of holiday destinations. So if you are lucky enough to have to choose between london vs nyc then I would say if you are a hustler, work super hard and dont care about time off and just want to make as much money as possible then nyc is the place for you. On the other hand if you want to make good money but also enjoy yourself London is an extremely nice city to live in if you are making £150k+ a year.

@vinniechan Год назад

The flip side is tax a lot lower in NY

@sebwarren9892 Год назад

I'm agree with you the fact you need a 150.000 £ to get good life in London . I earn 54.000 £ per year before taxes, I'm living a decent life in London but when I think get married with my girlfriend, having kids, getting a mortgage for a tiny house in zone 4 or 5 , buying a family car pfffff I'm getting anxious about money if I can afford a completed life in London. I currently live with my girlfriend in Ladbroke Grove paying a rent and working a senior engineer , I don't feel will get a salary of 150k £ in my field.

@williambardsley7540 Год назад

European bonuses will smaller than NYC for the foreseeable future as any bonuses at a financial instiution over 50k euros has to be share holder approved if its more than 100% of the base. So finding salaries with cash or even stock bonuses over 100% of base in europe is rare for anyone under MD level and this has been the case for 10 yrs now. It's called the EU 2013/36 directive for anyone who cares and wants to read up on it.

Working in finance is not easy anywhere I guess the difference between NY and London if once you get to the level of that intensity it's the marginal difference between working 12 hours a day or working 16 hours a day and the additional pay you squeeze out of it

Great video once again! Only thing I want to add is that base salaries in London are currently mich higher than you mentioned (at around £70k on average)

@samuelcarey1441 Год назад

n you talk about London removing bonus cap on bonuses? So will the pay be like pre 2008?

@lesdickson9765 Год назад

This doesn't change anything. Bonuses weren't capped before, only the percent of base you could pay out. This meant for MDs if you want to reach 3m total comp you must pay 1m in base or compensate in other ways. This means at the analyst-VP level where 200% bonuses are exceedingly uncommon anyways this will have no effect. Base pay is always better than bonus. You don't decide which apartment to rent on bonus. If removing the bonus cap is aimed at keeping base pay low, I think this is a terrible tradeoff for junior bankers in particular.

@glostergloster6945 Год назад

The cap was never an actual cap. All it meant was the immediate cash bonus couldnt be more than a certain multiple of base. Base salaries increased as a result of the 'cap', most bankers were very happy with that arrangement.

Does the other offices in the US meet these metrics New York won as well

@PocketInfinite Год назад

There's no financial centre in the US other than New York that can actually rival London, apart from maybe salaries since they tend to be higher across the board in the US compared to the UK. You'd still make more money than in London if you work in other centres such as Boston, LA, San Francisco and Chicago.

@nichaonwongcharoen5803 Год назад

@deepchowdhury5360 Год назад

Also new york hrs are longer due to the fact that usa does more deals due to the economy

@PocketInfinite Год назад

UK has stricter labour laws than the US that's why offices in NYC can get away with long hours.

❤. As usual, great one! But Agzal, I have a question how much is the possibility that you think the big IB'S like GS, Morgan, or Chase hire people from India if a particular indian has 2-3 years of work experience in Investment banks in India?? Do they really hire? If they do! What preparations should one do to pass their Interview?

@tube.brasil 10 месяцев назад

Goldman Sachs pays R$ 2700 (US$ 465) a month for an intern in Brazil. US$ 5580 a year for 6 hours of work a day, 12 months. Cleaning ladies and gas station attendants make more than that. And no, things are not so cheap here.

It is better to invest now. You will never be younger than you are today and there will never be a perfect time to invest. Due to compounding,, which Einstein called the 8th wonder of the world,, you can get rich slowly from investing if you do it from a young enough age...

It's the second largest financial centre in the world, and was number one not too long ago. London is very popular with those from the Middle East and Asia for big deals. More dollars are traded in London than even NYC!
