Welcome to the WSO Weekly Wrapup, where I talk with my team about the five most

trending discussions in the Wall Street Oasis community. Enjoy.

All right, everybody, welcome to another episode of the weekly wrap-up.

We have, I think, three topics today. Matt, you can get us started,

and we'll go from there. Sure. First topic on the forums this week I found very fascinating.

Around compensation and the investment banking around the question being posed,

what does a single guy or girl do as an investment banking analyst with all the

money that you're making?

Some of the funny responses that I saw on the forum, whereas one, Pat, you, I think you'll enjoy

a lot.

Someone's screaming Tesla, so dumping those big bonuses in Tesla quarterly or buying a Tesla, I don't

know, or buying a Tesla.

I was thinking, giving them the benefit of the doubt,

hoping it was Tesla stock versus a depreciating car.

But some of the other funny suggestions of what to do with the money or what people have

done with their money, blew their internship money on luxury hotels, getting burned,

buying a dip the past year, or losing it all on sports betting.

So I know that we've had these conversations a few times around just the amount of money

IB analysts are making in 2020, 2022, 2023, especially when compared to when you were an analyst.

So, you know, albeit funny suggestions aside, what's your best recommendation on what, you know, an analyst should be doing with their money.

You know, if someone's making upwards of 150 grand coming first year out of school, what are some best practice and tips you should?

If they're in New York, they won't feel that, that wealthy until the bonus hits.
