How do you decorate your cubicle/office? I realized mine was kind of bland today and I'd like to spice it up. I'm talking about finance related graphics, charts, etc.

I have put up a (A5 sized, small) picture of a Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Nothing else.
Smiley face made of thumbtacks on my wall, name is Wilson. Other than that, no fun or games.
Wow, could you be more boring? Decorating your cubicle with finance related things at a finance job, working for a financial services company. Why don't you put up a picture of something that interests you and please tell me something interests you outside of markets.
Thanks for your insights jackass...did it ever occur to you that I didn't ask for advice on this because I don't need suggestions on my own interests?
I bet your dorm is decorated really well though.
hahaha
My desk is tombstones and a bit of reference material pinned up chief. It's a stupid question to ask as only you would know the finance material that is most relevant to you.
Dude I have a bronze statue of Eddy Murray, a stuffed Kangaroo, a bottle of hot sauce, a clock thing I got for some project and a picture of an anteater. Don't be lame with your finance nonsense.
Oh and a baseball I play with when I'm thinking about something.
Harvey? Harvey Specter? is that you?
For me: ties and big books, nothing else.
One rather large political cartoon, and that is all.
Got my Wall Street Oasis t shirt pinned to the cubicle wall... Represent!
Nothing. I can be gone in a matter of minutes and noone would ever know I worked here.

and a Yankees calendar with the schedule
Football team's schedule,picture of gf, signed football mini helmet, our fund structures and office phone numbers
Picture of Gordon Gecko tacked the the cubicle wall with "Work harder jackass" written underneath it for motivation.
why bother......when the pink slip comes, just walk right out the door like nothing happened
a lot great ideas, folks! For me, I would only put the same stuff I put in my bedroom -- my own oversized photos. magazine cover quality like.
Tim Tebow Tebowing maybe a pic of Seinfield too
i've got a toy monkey and a picture of a nice beach.

I'm pretty boring: -Lucites / deal toys -Random toys/goodies that my bank and others (Bloomberg, FactSet, etc) have given me -My bank's color palette with RGB codes (this is actually very useful) -Reference sheet with commonly used phone numbers, project codes etc -I work in NRG, so a lot of printouts/maps of the various geographic basins, plays etc. for reference -A couple good cartoons
No way I am going to decorate it. Just left a few pairs of high heels under my desk - see, it's still occupied though I am most likely out of office again.
I have a little Steelers helmet that also acts as a bottle opener
I bet bankerella has a Sybian under her desk
HAHAHA
good call.
A huge stack of very technical books, most of which I've never read, and a Rubik's cube. People think you're really smart when you have that stuff there. You need to be able to solve the cube though, because people ask if you can solve it...and usually, they want you to prove it. That impresses most people waaaaaay more than it should.
Also, pictures of the wife and kids.
This thread has made me realize that I really ought to personalize my work space a bit more...
List of excel shortcuts when I forget how to insert a new row
you're joking right? you forgot how to insert a row?
That's like asking someone with a picture of their wife and kids on their desk if they forgot how their wife and kids looked like.
That's a terrible analogy.
Not if you love Microsoft Excel like your own child or significant other.
Still doesn't work. You have pictures of family to remind you of them and the joy they bring at times when you can't be with them. You're at your desk, you definitely have access to excel; if you love it, go make some nested ifs together. you don't have alt i r up to remind you how much you love it when you can't be with it, you have it there because your ability to remember a simple sequence is woeful. Moreover, banker style joking aside, to liken family to excel is rather tragic.
No. I often forget how to insert a new row, bold text, save, etc.
No doubt best Interior designer is today's need, but discover everything on the google and decorate office in best manner. Only time and mind need to spend.
That's what deal toys are for...
For real tho - put up pictures of your family, gf, sports teams, college swag, etc - normal shit
No one wants to see more finance stuff
Cubicle Decorations? (Originally Posted: 01/25/2015)
I will be starting my first FT analyst role in July. RE PE MO. In being excited for starting this, I've been thinking about tons of barely-important topics, such as cubicle decorations. Just out of curiosity, what types of things are appropriate? I have a little 8" nfl helmet of the team I like, as well as a magnet from the school I went to / am fan of. Would these be too tacky/inappropriate? Thanks for the advice

Put up a playboy centerfold and a trucker hat with the words "booty hunter" on it.
In all seriousness, the answer to your question is the same as in any other white collar job. It all depends on your company's culture. Don't decorate your cubicle the first day. Just observe what everyone else has and do likewise.
i have playboy posters plastered on all walls of my cubicle walking into my cubicle is like entering a soft porno
variety of dildos - black, white, metal, plastic, rubber, skinny, thick, short, long, double sided, etc...
LOL. Don't know how you got MS for that comment.
Shit man why all the hate? (-2 when I quoted this)
This one's a golden.
I'm SB-ing you right now.

Do not decorate at all. This isn't some HGTV show.
Coming this fall on HGTV: Cubicle Wars / Bullpen Battles / Fashion Cube
Nothing adds a splash of color to your cubicle like a red swingline stapler
