WTF Do Investment Bankers Actually Do?

REALLY! good!

Investment banking refers to a financial sector that facilitates the creation of capital for companies, governments, and other entities. This involves services like underwriting, mergers and acquisitions, securities trading, and offering financial advice. Investment banks help organizations raise funds through issuing stocks or bonds and also provide strategic guidance for corporate activities. These institutions play a pivotal role in the global financial ecosystem by connecting investors with opportunities and assisting businesses in achieving their financial objectives.

This all sounds very good but then tell me why companies bought shares with SBF with very little intel or looking into the company. Its appears like this happens with the good teams then there are other lazy teams that do shit all and just wack the money somewhere and hope for the best.

If your not getting enough sleep your not as productive as your should be.. If your only showering once a week thats an fn problem I would not want in my office. I dount a 95 hr work week really gets the most out of them.. These are some of the best paying jobs of course but in terms of the business not sure this is the best practice..

Yea I’m sure people would like earning $300k working 9-5 right after college

At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage.
Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe. Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.

Thank you sir

so basically they are overpaid

I wonder if this still a worth market to start a long-term carrer whit, due the heights of artificial intelligence. Does anyone have any advice?

It is always good to have a balanced fin-plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-in^come strtegist in NY. the fixed income portion of your portfolio won’t simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will prvide legitimate income.

I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $960,000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

Putting well-earned money into the stock market can be over emphasized for first-time investors, unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically times are uncertain, the market is out of control, and banks are gradually failing. I am working on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity for a boomer like me? I'm nearly 60.

Say you hear of a deal being made for example J.P Morgan Chase, buying a struggling bank. Can you just buy shares of that struggling bank knowing they will shoot up once the acquisition goes through?

Hard pass

Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol

This sounds fucking horrible. Makes me feel better about my job.

If I was an investment bank, instead of hiring MDs and VPs, I would just hire a bunch of attractive and charismatic salespeople, spend a few months teaching them financial jargon, and then pay for their country club memberships to go and talk to people.

The erosion of my financial reserves due to inflation adds to my concerns. At this point, I require precise mrkt trajectory information, but I find myself unsure about the appropriate course of action.

Keep that

Currently lean consultant, I love the financial industry and banking and was considering whether or not to do investment banking. Any recommendations or advice?

Good book on this topic is Liquidated: an Ethnography of Wall Street (Katherin Ho). She works in finance and also is an anthropologist. Surprisingly readable book.

That sounds like absolute hell. Screw that

Investment banker? To invest i guess

Douchebags who create nothing of value.

With markets tumbling, inflation soaring, the Fed imposing large interest-rate hike, while treasury yields are rising rapidly—which means more red ink for portfolios this quarter. How can I profit from the current volatile market, I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $125k bond/stock portfolio

Quick question: Given the times, would it be better to go into real estates or stocks. I have been confused on the better option and where and how to go about this. Can't seem to find the most appropriate and of utmost importance is also a less time intensive option.

That’s what I keep on saying… investment bankers make the big bucks to work intense hours…. everyone would work in investment banking if you only had to work 40 hours a week…..

Its verry good vidiyos

Well I learned the real meaning of bank cool !!

Fuk 'Em!

This is the shit I want to do and I understand a little bit about the whole process

Investment banking itself is not evil, but many many maaaany people in it are.

Making money is not the same as keeping it there is a reason why investments aren't well taught in schools, the examples you gave are well stationed, the market crisis gave me my first millions, people shy away from hard times, I embrace them.. well at least my advisor does lol

You hiring?😂

I don’t know how but you’ve managed to package an unbiased analysis that is more entertaining than the sensationalized segment of economic and financial news. Thank you for your efforts to be the signal and not the noise. I understand that the economy is currently in a downturn and that we must wait for things to get better.

Kids don’t be fooled. All Wall-Street is, is just an over glorified sales position.

The ability to regulate wealth through the time of economic collapse is true riches.

Hello just based on this video, is buying sports teams basically the same thing?

as a depressed person it seems like my dream job wow being working 100 hours weekly will make a busy man and I don't have to think about my depression because I will not have any free time

Investment bankers are leeches

95 HOURS IN A WEEK IS TOO MUCH ! Reminds me of Dave Chapelle's stand-up about a "ho's mileage": the total number of tricks she can turn before getting a mental breakdown

I am curious as to whether individuals who underwent the 2008 financial crisis had a less arduous experience than I am currently enduring, given that prevailing market conditions are causing me considerable distress. Specifically, my portfolio has incurred a loss of over $27,000 this month alone, and my profits are dwindling. I am concerned that my retirement plans may be jeopardized, as I am unable to augment my stagnant reserves.

I am certain the investment bankers do SOME productive work, but the greatest investor of our time, Warren Buffett says they're charatans and frauds. He has unequivocally that they give dubious numbers, dubious analysis, and are generally bad for investors, and America in general. They are sophisticated, but slippery.

Life is a weird, beautiful experience when you step back and look at it. Grateful to be here with you all, Working with a financial expert could truly set you up for life. I'm delighted I was able to contact my coach Rodger Michael Karl earlier this year because while others were busy whining about the downturn I was busy cashing out from my portfolio, finally making over 370k only for the first quarter. of the year.

My uncle was the CFO of an oil company and he mentioned to his IB friend they were thinking about doing some kind of deal. He said that was late Friday afternoon...

...then Monday rolls around and he checks outside his door and there was like a 100 page deck about why they should work with them. He laughs about the story cause he literally just mentioned it casually and wasn't even seriously considering it but some poor junior analysts must've worked all day and night all weekend long to get that useless deck made for him

So ai will take all these jobs right
