The Vault Video Guide to Investment Banking Interviews

90 hours a week? I think that's overstated. No company would want an employee working 90 hours a week with intricate and complex work because he/she would make a mess of it. The same reason why pilots are not allowed to fly more than a certain number of hours a week.

@kotapaka hahah trust me buddy, 75-90 is pretty usual for starters!

[kotapaka]

@donmeswimee Really? It's illegal in most western countries to make you work more than 48 hours in a single week. Therefore banks often ask you to sign whether you agree to work more than 48 hours or not. It doesn't matter whether you put yes or no - they still hire you but I wonder what the difference is? I mean if they still hire you who would put yes? But then I'm wondering if you put no maybe they will get rid of you soon?

All I've learnt is that you need to be an arrogant douche who gives automated cliché answers regarding all the (non) respectable things that you did, even though most interviewees haven't actually done all of that in their life. Most people aren't going to be captain of the debating team, active and voluntary work and had top class internships, or if they had, they probably wouldn't need much help with an interview. This is pretty useless for ordinary people.

THANK YOU...that is the biggest problem with these interview help vids...all of them have these canned answers...like i help the elderly...blah blah blah...i dont have fucking time for that shit...i need help to expand upon what little crap i do hahaha...normal ppl need help answering those tough questions

[ohnoididitagain]

@JonnyRocketfingers ordinary people can't be in investment banking anyway!!if you are ready to be extraordinary you can get there.but i think you are destined to lose from the beginning by accepting that you are an pordinary person!!!

[seanrubis]

@JonnyRocketfingers you won't be joining any I-Bank if you are that ordinary.
