Female bankers doing brand deals on TikTok (@emlywang)

Emily Wang, an associate in the BofA consumer retail IB team, has posted several brand deals on her TikTok (@emlywang). She’s posted “gifted” (or paid?) posts for Fabletics and she also just posted a paid partnership with Piece of Cake Moving on TikTok.

I know GS is notoriously strict with social media and brand deals, but how are other banks going about it especially when it comes to brand deals? Are these bankers running this by compliance at all, or just risking their career for side hustle cash and some internet fame?

In the case of Emily, doesn’t this create conflicts of interest especially since she’s on the consumer retail team?

She is a DEI Becky. Nobody will hold her accountable, in fact, MDs will commend for this. 

 

Pulled directly from her comments on one of her videos:

Q: Is it a requirement to work until midnight? It can't wait until the next day, you would get in trouble?

A: No it's up to your discretion depending on workflow and deadlines! But all juniors are typically online until at least midnight bc emails are still coming in.

So she admits that working until midnight is completely optional, yet people in this industry deny the clear inequality of expectations and accountability between men and women. 

 

Nobody except the MD and HR want them there and they too are keen because they have DEI (gender) quotas to meet which dictate bonuses. It’s painfully obvious to anyone in the industry that the bar is lower for them and anyone who brings it up is framed a misogynist. I personally don’t want them on my teams due to low productivity and tantrums. I can get much more out of male juniors without issues. Their belligerent attitude at work is justified through eternal victimhood which is rather unsubstantiated. Yeah right, this white/asian becky from working class is oppressed. What a sh^t show built on institutional and cultural lies.

Clients use social media too. Imagine if you’re scrolling though and see one of the bankers on your deal making a dumbass “Day in my Life as an Investment Banker in NYC” video.

Generally think it’s fine for people to have their own public Tiktok if it’s videos of them baking cookies or something but when you’re making content about IB or your bank you rightfully deserve scrutiny. 

 

not at BofA or familiar with any of this but from an outside in perspective: 

-We have male associates at BofA getting overworked to literal death with 120 hour weeks. 

-On the other hand, we have female associates at BofA filming day in the life videos where they make cute little Kale salads and do influencer brand deals. 
 

Just WTF


 

 

All the casualties in IB have been male juniors so far. No to a single female junior. Male juniors are overworked and underpaid compared to them. 
 

 

i left the industry because the disparate expectations for male and female analysts and associates in my group were too much. The same level of workload/behavior/attitude that would get a male analyst fired gets a female analyst promoted. 

 

I love that finally you younger lot are speaking up about it. No need to suck up and buy into their eternal victimhood. Whenever I tried raising these issues, they tried framing me as misogynist. Issue is MD / D comp is tied to gender targets and they will do whatever to keep women in the team as long as they do bare minimum. Women are aware and cross corporate boundaries which would get men fired promptly. 

 

Male junior investment bankers effectively get paid much less than their female counterparts.

If men are getting the same base and roughly the same bonus, but working 20-30% more every week vs women, how is this not discrimination? 

literally the case in my group 

 

To make it worse, all women in the team are promised at least a mid-bucket as long as they do just enough because HR and MD wants to retain them

Just looked her up. It'd always mid asian american  girls doing this that think they are way more attractive than they are.  I swear they are the most mentally ill demo in the usa (most liberal, most likely to be major corporate shrills, wierd delusions of attractiveness).   They all need to spend time in an SEC school and learn real feminine behavior and how to carry oneself.

 

Bro said “weird delusions of attractiveness” 😭🤣

These r the same females that will end up marrying a liberal couch toad who swears he’s making a national impact working at a think tank, quit (or get fired from) IB for wlb, end up in middle class when the HCOL cities somehow come with a HCOL, then complain about the lack of opportunity in America when they could’ve had everything but chose to post kale salad tiktok videos instead of carrying their own weight.

 

Bro because I can nut in that whenever i want. You gotta just play the game and stroke her ego so she can stroke your cock. You know what i mean. Especially if you got that BWC she gonna let you hit over and over.

 

Asian girls are toys for white men. Lot of this behavior from mid Asians is really just a manifestation of them trying to outcompete white girls in the relationship marketplace

 

Whats your thoughts on sofsetnyc or eatswithkath. I dont know why all of their content is so cringe.

 

Eatswithkath is kinda hot but she already has a boyfriend I think and than the problem arrives since she did ib and mfpe you can use your money to influence your way into her pants or dates 

 

I'm content with sofset being real about knowing how hard ib was goign to be - her best friend's dad is ex ceo of hbo and her school was super expensive so a lot of support cushion

 

Yeah I don’t think sofset is a problem tbh. She is pretty hot but again her content is ok 

 

I worked with a girl who was one of these IB TikTok clowns - she was absolute bottom bucket rubbish 

 

Why are people on this site about what other people are doing with their lives? Its clear jealously good for her shes probably going to be able to turn it into a full time thing these influencers make real money I have 2 friends that are doing it full time and are making 200-400k and I have one friend that is obviously a anomaly but he makes 8 figs a year and hes 25. Anyways good for her. 

 

Yeah you’re right. What’s funny is most people can’t accept your point but overall it’s fun to watch people expose their deepest insecurities and project on these threads man. 

 

I think it’s a general question of what compensated opportunities bankers can take outside of work especially since FINRA is extremely strict with OBA and conflict of interest is a legitimate concern. GS made it clear they’re against it, but other banks less so. I think this is an interesting discussion to have. If BofA is okay with Emily taking on brand deals, good for her.

 

I have 2 friends that are doing it full time and are making 200-400k and I have one friend that is obviously a anomaly but he makes 8 figs a year and hes 25

wtf what kind of content do they make?

 

She seems to leave the office around 6:30pm and work from home the rest of the night. Is that standard at UBS? IB isn't expected to work in the office in the evening/night?  

 

if you’re a freeloading DEI female analyst/aso, you work in the office from 10:30-6 and “WFH” outside of that but in reality you do no work. 

I’m not a big proponent of FaceTime culture but it’s ridiculous how little work some of these women do relative to their male counterparts and still get the same base pay and same or better path to promotion - simply because of their gender 

 

She likely plans on leaving, and this is her "exit" strategy. 

I just don't remember ever leaving at that time unless it was a Friday or Saturday. I was an analyst pre-COVID, so I should have phrased my question better, but I was asking if the expectation changed at firms? 

 

No she isn’t. This is the norm at some shops who are still eager on DEI, especially Canadian banks. 

I am at a Big 5 Canadian bank and our female juniors are in office from 8:30am to 5pm. Nobody dares to question this behavior. To make it worse our Head of Office is hooking up with one of them. Do you think he will entertain any criticism about their work ethic? He will immediately push out whoever questions their antics.

The comments are probably all from the analyst 1 who does all her work for her while she films TikToks - he’s horny and pissed off 

 

Yeah me too I feel it will get her to eventually quit her job so she can take more dicks in the time she would’ve been grinding all day. 

 

Asian beckies are at it again. Love how they always try to act and sound "American" lmao

 

I think women do this as a wierd cope to self validate since from a evolutionary perspective they should be having kids in their 20s(most fertile period) but they are instead clicking around on MS office 18 hours a day.  Must cause a lot of cognitive dissonance and confusion.

I just don't think it's possible to ignore that strong instinct from millions of years of evolution to be a mother and not be a little crazy/unhinged.

 

I’ll go a step further and say women shouldn’t be making money at all no startups or entrepreneurial shit. They should be spending their time having kids cuz when they make money they can’t really truly be submissive and feminine and it also forces them to pick men on logical choices and not do stupid shit like one night stands since all her value comes from her body and her past becomes front and center what separates her from other women 

 

Girls have had freedom for 50 years and yet all the top 10 richest women made their money from divorce or inheritance. We need to go back to the basics, womens rights were a mistake

 

Agree. Women's suffrage was a generational mistake. It's no surprise that every single society in history separated by thousands of miles and years all had one thing in common: severe restrictions on women's ability to exercise their free will

 

What kind of generational suffering? 100mm+ people died in both world wars and by various estimates ~99% were men. Did you women suffer to this extent? Where was your gender equality back then 

 
Controversial

This comment section might be the most sexist, racist, and nastiest I’ve ever seen. Nothing wrong with Asian American women / female bankers lol

 

I think this thread is good cuz people are saying what must be said but it’s unfortunate nothings gonna change and everyone looks unhinged commenting this but there is truth to some of this. 

 

Too many gooners on this forum. Seems to be a theme with those in restr.. 

 

If the bank has no problem with it, then good for her.

No woman should be working 100hr work weeks unless she truly wants to. A woman's sex appeal can efficiently be exchanged for productivity, either through marriage, sugar daddies, OnlyFans, or "brand deals." Most women would rather do this than fill out Excel sheets anyways, so why stop them??

 

You have to abolish DEI to achieve that. The day you remove gender quotas from hiring and promotions which are at 50% currently, it’s over. Natural order will gradually return. 

 

If you go on her tik tok you’ll see she indeed got a boyfriend who is tatted. It’s cooked for you guys overall 

 

Damn imagine if she started this thread to get free publicity… that would be very very well played 

 

And she’s getting dick tonight to on top off quitting shit is such a win 

 

As if getting a d^ck has ever been tough for women, let alone one that is remotely attractive and is fantasized by white men with yellow fever 

 

Let’s be specific. DEI is women, Hispanic / Black / Indigenous men, and LGBTQ+.

Asian women are absolutely DEI while men aren’t. 

 

If a women’s only value in life was sex and her body count and purity was her status. Naturally so she wouldn’t go to college or work a job she just save her self for the right man. Naturally so the right man will spend his life grinding to have money and influence to ensure he. can get virgin  women since he knows those are the rare women. In history and in many empires woman were judged on such standards and most women as a result who got with powerful men were virgins. Only in today’s society do we men pass around at every level like billionaires fuck someone who’s already had kids or been nutted inside. It’s very backwards how far we have gone and it stems from giving women equality which in turn leads to weak men. And think about it most men don’t take a second to think. And ask how many guys this bitch has been with and is she worth it you men grind for the most exclusive jobs but don’t want the most exclusive women. Shits sad cuz once you don’t have that same mindset you do with women you won’t.   every where in life. You grind to buy a brand new car so why would you grind as hard to have a brand new car  everywhere in life. The system runs on men seeking approval and comprising while considering it’s a win
