Finance newsletters and etc to subscribe to in order to stay in the loop and be able to talk about stuff during recruiting?
I’m from a non-finance family in the midwest and am a rising sophomore so i would like to subscribe to some newsletters or something in order to keep in touch and just broaden my understanding. Reading this stuff seems like a great way to be able to understand how everything comes together and be able to talk about stuff in a more organized way. Also, it might save me in an interview when we’re talking about something basic but random, and I don’t know it because it’s not in the realm of standard interview prep. Also I do enjoy reading this stuff sometimes.
currently read Money Stuff and Petition. Any others?
WSJ for the US and FT for the UK. These 2 I guess are default options. Then comes Bloomberg and MarketWatch (good for markets), The Economist (good for politics, macro), Reuters (it is free). + follow their pages in Twitter and Instagram to take a glance at news.
While these are good sources to get news, it can be difficult for someone new to finance to understand these articles.
Subscribe to MorningBrew for a daily update on markets & the most important news activity. They do a good job of explaining. There’s a lot of other newsletters, but MB is the most common
Fair point, I agree
Morning Brew, WSJ, litquidity's newletter

Second Morning Brew recommendation, although these days it's largely just general news rather than financial. WSJ you can get a very discounted rate as a student and is the gold standard for financial current events and M&A news.
WSJ costs $4/month with the student discount, great value imo. Also second the morning brew rec, but if you really want to find deal info see if your school has a CapIQ subscription and you can filter by deal size, industry, the IBs involved, etc. Super helpful to find deals to talk about in interviews and cover letters.
