I have heard in years past that analysts would receive Patagonia, company-branded duffel bags, networking events on yachts etc... Do banks still do this kinda stuff for analysts? Incoming FT analyst this summer so curious if banks still give cool company swag and do dope networking events. Thank you!

At least for my MM bank (Wells Fargo/Blair/Rothschild/Oppenheimer/RBC/Stifel/etc), we got the company-brand banker bags, bunch of gear including yetis, Patagonias, ski trips, company sponsored happy hours every two weeks, etc.
That's awesome!
I thought you meant "do banks still hire $500/h hookers to suck your dick"?
No.
GS currently has free breakfast (bagels, coffee, etc), lunch (at the cafeteria, but honestly, solid ass cafeteria with a rotating menu), and dinner with a second allowance past midnight. Our Ubers to and from the office are also comped. A bit lacking on the HHs, Trips, Free Merch, at least in my group in IBD but a lot of that is due to COVID. If we're playing the "oh we can't come into the office due to safety concerns" can hardly expect to get free drinks and trips haha
I dont give a fuck about any of these, I'd rather work from home and do actual fun shit on my own with my real friends
Hahahahahahaha Jesus man. Take it easy. Not all of us have our “own” friends like you.
You big fucking party animal tough guy you!!! Big poon slayer backwards hat flannel tough guy you are aren’t you!!!
Fucking loser 🤣
I can’t tell which of you is a worse person
