Why it worked

The video tapped into the aspirational goals of individuals interested in high-paying finance careers by presenting a seemingly clear, albeit extremely difficult, path to a prestigious company. The step-by-step format and the specific, actionable (though challenging) advice made it highly shareable within relevant online communities.

Summary

This video outlines an 8-step "pipeline" to a guaranteed graduate position at Jane Street, a finance company. The steps involve a highly specific and challenging educational and extracurricular path, starting from birth in Shanghai and culminating in solving complex interview puzzles.

Product placement

Jane Street: ACTS - it is the company the video is about, and the end goal of the pipeline described. Removing it would change the entire topic of the video. IMC Trading: ACTS - it is mentioned as an example of a place to intern, and its launchpad program is described. Removing it would change the example of a place to intern. Wallace Chess Ltd: ACTS - it is mentioned as an employer for a teaching role. Removing it would change the example of an employer. Oxford University: APPEARS - it is the university the creator attended, but its services are not directly used or promoted. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.
