Investment Banking = Mad Men (Late hours, formal, business wear outside of the office b/c there's no time to change, submissive but ambitious underlings)

Hedge Funds = Dexter (Introverted killers with the ability to force a suitable, social personality in the event they have to speak with an outsider)

S&T = Desperate Housewives (Most involved spend a considerable amount of time trying to read people/groups, and manipulate them; a portion are attempting to seduce some outsider -- participants include: killers, robots, pretty idiots, and hard workers with a life)

Private Equity = Boardwalk Empire (Charismatic wealth; work long hours, but in a slower, more relaxed atmosphere; business is civil and respectful, unless expected profits start to turn the wrong way)

Consulting = Eastbound & Down (You used to be a baller (top student), but now you're just pitching baseballs in Mexico (making pretty graphs for your client in Ottumwa, Iowa); baller potential still exists (exits to PE, top F500)).
