Interests: markets, investing, economics, energy, reading (about the aforementioned)
These are the only subjects I can talk about; I don't think about anything else nor have I thought about anything else for the past 2 years, certainly not the likes of music, film, books (fiction), food, and travel, ugh.

Instant ding. Do you also happen to go to NYU?
bro, would you rather your colleague be
1. the next Stephen Schwarzman, your future business partner
or
2. someone who goes scuba diving in his free time and enjoys collecting stamps
2That ultimatum wasn't the setup you thought it was
This is a terrible analogy because Schwarzman didn't do a summer internship - he spent his summer in college in the boiler room of a ship. Now that is something I'd be interested in.
Ok "Prospect"
Boring af. NEXT!
These aren’t hardo interests. Hardo interests are BJJ, Muay Thai, Ice Climbing, Helicopter Snowboarding, Ultra Marathons, and Bare Knuckle fighting.
You’re hardo because you read? GTFOutta here.
This list isnt hardo at all. It's just lame.
'hardo' would actually have some cool interests in it. Back country skiing, sailboat racing, getting pilots license. Your list just looks like someone with no hobbies so they have to put something synonymous with 'markets' a bunch of times
You still in college? I didnt have any real hobbies at that time either. But it's worth it for yourself to curate some actual ones that you enjoy, and stop over thinking what looks cool, lame, etc.
Can't you come up with something somewhat generic but somewhat interesting? Do you not watch sports, exercise, or have any hobbies?
These interests you listed are common amongst people in finance although a bit generic; add some unique ones
bro forget about the list; go get a personality
Buddy if you’re asking on here for help with your interests section, you’re gonna get the same boring and generic responses every time, look at how useless many of the comments above are lol
Music: Hedge funders playlist on Spotify
Film: Wolf of Wall Street, the Big Short
Books (Fiction): The Rebel Allocator
Food: 11pm FoodPanda
Travel: Commute in NYC
Idk why you think you're lacking in these areas tbh

Take out "reading (about the aforementioned)." It looks weird and it's already implied if you list those topics.
ngl I soft-ding resumes with 'hardo' centric interests. You're not gonna put in writing that your interest is 'Value Investing and Leveraged Buyouts"
Its redeemable in certain scenarios but please avoid
If your interests section is indistinguishable from your finance experience/education/motivation it isn't adding value - the content is either already listed or implied. You are not actually moving a conversation forward, you are discussing the same topic with different formality. Keep things well rounded.
If you dont like good food, traveling, music, and a good movie, what are you even doing with your life
Honestly, if you’re like me and really enjoy reading, try branching out a bit. I’ve always been a history fan so years ago I started with some really compelling non-fiction (geopolitics, non-Western history, anthropology) and historical fiction. It’s been eye-opening to say the least and has added a lot more to my life than yet another investing diatribe.
If you’re an undergrad, go to a party, open your eyes, please
