I recently saw a bunch of Investment Banking Analyst youtube channels.
Do these guys have no hobbies? Analysts work 80 hours a week, the last thing you would want to do is talk about work, no?
These guys are hardos right? No other hobbies, they love to work, and in their free time, they set up a youtube channel to talk about their work.

They have a passion for finance.
Can't tell if you're being serious. To answer OP's question, their hobby is making $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Who gives a fuck
they actually work in compliance
HAHAHA I loved watching the compliance guy commute in from nj talking about what it's like to be a banker
Link?
Their channels could be extremely lucrative depending on # of subscribers, views, etc.
Only when they start selling their ‘interview prep’ or ‘in depth modeling course’ or ‘one on one peer review with ‘experts in the industry(them)”. Gotta respect the hustle.
Nah from YouTube and ads alone. Check out socialblade.com and search for channels. You can see estimated revenues.
Ok to make an accurate statement we're gonna need to hear some names
You sound bitter af. Some of them are kinda cringe but Bryan Jun as an example makes solid content in his spare time as a hobby. There's nothing wrong about liking your job lol
He is the person I thought of. It seems like he goes to work, and then outside of work, all he talks about is finance
Lol what's the basis for that? His youtube channel is finance-focused yes but you have no idea what he talks about outside of work otherwise. Even if it were true that he enjoyed talking about finance outside of work, what's wrong with that? I feel like I'm missing a step here
There are plenty of SAs and analysts like that but without even monetizing it
Wouldn’t their hobby be YouTube?? Are we going to start ranking hobbies now?
Their hobby wouldn't be Youtube, it would be talking about work
Youtube channels like that can be helpful. No point bashing them for literally trying to provide useful information to people that might not have it. Not everyone is on WSO.
Everyone wants to hit the mergers and inquisitions jackpot - but make it video based ..that’s all I get form these guys. Seems like the finance YouTube channel is so formulated with no added personality, all the videos are:
-Day in the life -Explaining what my job is -How to get my job -How to be good at my job -What i May possibly do after this job, but only have the opportunity to do because of this job
I fucking hate how the wso mobile app truncates spacing
Do you dislike MI? Why?
Nope I love MI. I just think the finance YouTubers are doing a poor job of trying to be a resource/personality like MI
Curious - what are your hobbies dude? Blacking out at Monkey Bar and ripping gator tails with your buddies until 5AM with a bunch of soft 6's? Then sleeping in all day? If you're like 99% of IB analysts that I know, this is probably the case. Sick man!
you would do it too if you knew how much a channel with like 100k subs pulls (hint, more than IB)
Source? Not doubting you, just never knew YT could be so lucrative
My guess is you could probably google this if interested
They certainly don't love it, that's why they're trying to build something by taking incremental steps. A few IB/S&T channels have grown into actual businesses.
Bryan and Angela are probably the only two actual investment bankers doing Youtube. Rest are usually in more middle office roles and call themselves "investment bankers" in the title and you don't find out until you actually watch. And isn't Youtube itself a hobby?
