I have been wanting to start a YouTube channel for quite some time now. However, I'm reluctant to start it because I don't want to turn off the firms I am interning with this summer or anyone else I might work with in the future. I don't plan on sharing my personal life and being embarrassing. I plan on being professional as possible on the channel. But still, I worry. What do you guys think? Is it okay for a future banker to start a youtube channel?

So, I just published a book and had many of the same concerns as you: The Pitchbook: A Banking Analyst's Tale of Markets, Millions, and Mayhem. I even had a similar WSO post asking everyone whether to publish under a pen name or not.
Now that the book is out, I'm not sure what I was so worried about. If anything, the response has been overwhelmingly positive from coworkers and colleagues. In fact, I think it helps show people that you're not just a finance NPC, but have interests and hobbies. As long as you stay mostly professional and produce good quality material, I think you'll be fine.
Note also that early in my career, I was a political writer which is perhaps even more controversial. Google my name and a bunch of old articles still pop up. It has never come up in my career. By the way, check out the book - the amazon link has a preview to the first few chapters.

Thank you!
It depends on the content as well. Some forms of content are much more stigmatizing than others, and it might help let the forum take a read of the idea. Hunting endangered species might be more controversial than running a coffee channel. It really all depends.
Yes! Completely agree. I am avoiding talking about anything political or controversial.
