Wise choice: invest but realistically unless you're going to get 3x on that, it won't really make a real difference. Maybe park it in some yield stocks but given the ways rates moving - not amazing

What everyone else does: buy a watch - everyone in my analyst class ended up buying the same 2 watches - was kind aretarded b/c everyone showed up at training with the same watch. I still wear it after 6+ years though ... was a good investment

I would just spend it on something you enjoy b/c your life is about to get real fucking miserable so go travel or something

 

no one buys seamaster - so middle market (j/k!)

Yes - everyone bought a rolex - mostly submariners / seadwellers and a few got yachtmasters (went above) and a few got datejust

wardrobe and rent should be taken care of by your internship salary already unless you didn't buy suits
