What do investment bankers actually do?

You asked, and the Good Work Investigative News Team answered. Even if you didn’t ask, the Good Work Investigative News Team still answered. That’s just how good we are.

Thanks to Dunkin’, the official sponsor of getting Good Work out of bed in the morning (this is real).

Thanks to the following intrepid souls for their help with this investigation: Steph Mui, founder of PIN and former JPMorgan I-banker; Liam Killingstad, SVP at SHEPERD therapeutics and former Goldman I-banker; Sonali Basak, lead Wall Street correspondent at Bloomberg TV and writer for Bloomberg news; and Theresa Moriarty and Spencer Wright, who both have partners who are investment bankers.

What do investment bankers actually do?

[GoodWorkMB]

We have now fully investigated investment banking. What should we cover next?

Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.

I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k, but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million

I love how the *random investment banker* takes a selfie with Dan but he’s not distracted at all and continues on his investigation 🕵️‍♂️

This guy is a content genius. Best new series on Youtube in a long while. I hope the people at Morning Brew are giving him the kudos he deserves.

5:06 "You guys hot in the vest or just the chest and not your arms" 🤣 Dan's pivot game is so good

I believe the safest approach is to diversify investments especially under professional; guide. You can mitigate the effects of a market meltdown by diversifying their investments across different asset classes such as stocks, ETF's etc It is important to seek the advice of an expert.Dustin Dwain King is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment..

[ShoeTrees]

I wonder if these interviewees know what they're getting into beforehand

[BabyBearRudy]

I like how even the Investment Bankers have a hard time explaining what they do

[ThatBeachDude]

Omg. You finally covered my current job! Basically salespeople who are comfortable asking for money with digits that read like a cell phone number. Making more calls, emails, texts, and social DM’s than an average person makes in 6 months, and being told no 99.99% of the time.

I have never seen this man before in my life but wow the production quality is higher than I expected

[TheTikus]

I love how this channel has been covering all my potential career options (IB/ VC/ consulting) Now you just need to cover equity research and I'm all set to choose a path solely based on your videos 😂

[Leftistattheparty]

Just found this channel and it's like a deeper look at capitalism but in the same format as Channel 5 news. I love it.

[dadtier]

That preparatory sip edit at 4:18 is why I love this channel... it's the little things!

[johnanderson]

This man is a corporate baddie. Straight up.

[islsggz]

At 7:12 I completely lost it, with those introductory cards on display and his pointed expressions at the lady.

[unicee]

It’s PACKED with so many subtle jokes I love this series and Dan Toomey

Cryptocurrency investments pay a higher percentage return than any other investment. Mainly Bitcoin ETFs, which mostly pay out every week and have a healthy average return.

“Just behind these very doors, dozens of my high school bullies are chained to ergonomic desks, staring at excel and cracked out on prescription stimulants” 😂😂😂😂😂 comedy timing skill: 100% maxed out.
this is soooo funny at the same time as being very exposing for such a heinous system! More power to this channel!!

[almasfizashaikh]

New to this channel, it is my first video and you almost got me in the beginning. Just thought it was an actual news. Went through your channel, was still confused until read your About section lolololololol.
