I'm thinking about starting a blog that is a really honest look at what it is like to work in IB/finance (kind of like zerohedge, but also including the good, bad, & ugly of the reality of working in banking) but am struggling to decide on a name. A few of my ideas are...
Red Pill
The Hookup
Golden Parachute
The Collar
The Grind
Bullish
Curious to hear some feedback.

“Wall Street Oasis”
Musings from the 'pen
Just use a normal name, like “the reality about ibanking”, “daily recap of an ibanker”, don’t use those vague metaphorical names, they are so affected and too dramatic
I second this - it’s easier to remember something if the name directly describes the product and will help with SEO as you gain traction. Although, a name that’s a bit catchier, as opposed to naming it exactly what it is, could make it more appealing.
To get the ball rolling:
Banking, Bluntly
Banking on Banking
Banking Bank
Bank This
The Banker Diaries
Bank Me Harder
On a real note.. I kind of like Red Pill, Golden Parachute, and The Grind.
Keep us posted on how it goes! I want to check it out
Bank me harder is so good. 😂 Thank you for your tips!!!!
Pls fix
I would read
The bullpen
“I have more 55 year old men up my ass daily than a gay hooker at the Republican National Convention”
It’s long, but catchy
Saved by the Bell
Pencils Down
Confirmatory Belligerence
A bp short, a day late
The Neurodiversity Hires
Sixth Year Analysts
The Daily Rubdown / The Daily Shakedown
Market Fakers
Designated Pitchers
Having a Quick Touchbase on Lift Capacity in the Holding Pattern to Divide and Conquer
Pitch Slapped
Deal Team Six
In the Tranches
Maybe also worth noting that “Having a Barclays” in the U.K. is rhyming slang for jerking off. Barclays Bank = wank.
Start consistently blogging first, then worry about a name
Bank me mommy
