When I'm not pumping up my leverage ratios I'm peeping the Instagram to stay hip with the young kids out there. What are your favorite accounts to follow for a good laugh?
Shout out to my man Litquidity on Instagram but I'm trying to diversify my porfolio a little bit here. I need some fresh material.

Investment Banking Memes on Facebook is pretty good
In no particular order: arbitrage.andy, NotYourFathersBroker, hoeingforyield, finance_god
Don't forget about Litquidity
arbitrage.andy and notyourfathersbroker are the best imo
This is the new informations about the investment social media. online investment are available now. I would like to know more about the investment social media.
@GSElevator on Twitter had the best tweets pre-2015. Luckily you don't have to scroll too far back to find those gems.
My favorite @GSElevator tweet of all time:
"Some chick asked me what I would with 10 million bucks. I told her I'd wonder where the rest of my money went."
If someone is feeling a little bold during an interview, I would love to see an interviewer's reaction if someone said that in response to a similar question.
My favorite is “I don’t give the homeless money because I don’t reward failure” lol
Banking pledge is pretty entertaining. Big fan of NYFB (Both Instagram)
On the more political/satire side @ComfortablySmug has been a pretty good account to follow on Twitter
EBITDAD on Instagram is good, they do not post much anymore though, worth a scroll
xgozax on WallStreetOasis
Wu_Tang_Finace on Twitter. No doubt.
I second this and their Instagram account is @wu_tang_financial
Pseduoquants and mrsdowjones are some lesser known ones
mrsdowjones makes great starter pack memes.
midtownuniform aka vests for days

Wall Street & Social Media (Originally Posted: 03/22/2012)
I posted something about earlier about whether or not technology is the new banking? This article was interesting because it shows how both may become more integrated.
Questions: 1. Do you think using social media should be blocked? Esp within the IBD division where you are probably working 18 hours a day! 2. Is this a signaling thing – employees are smart enough to just check their mail using their smartphone. And ‘blocking’ websites may look like employees are always working hard – something investment banks are known for. 3. Have interns/people who have worked at banks who have used social media within their workplace to network with colleagues?
I believe companies are turning into intranet social networking solutions like Jive. http://www.jivesoftware.com/social-business/solutions/social-intranet
I read an article about how in the information age the 9-5 is obsolete and letting people use social media shouldn't be a bad thing -- the goal of the day should be to complete certain tasks, not to be focused for a certain amount of hours. i'm looking for it but i don't remmeber where i saw it. it might be this article:

if you're at work and need a distraction you should check out finance games at www.connectcubed.com!
jillmac - tried the connect cubed website but when i click 'take assessments' it just keeps loading....
Dude you absolutely under no circumstances will you be given access to personal email or social media by any investment bank. ESPECIALLY in IBD where you have tons of inside information.
Banks need to ensure all communication goes through monitored channels due to the risk of an employee spreading insider secrets through non-monitored channels like Facebook.
This is 100% about preventing lawsuits and 0% about being behind-the-times or "not getting it."
Your email and phone conversations are monitored at work. Employees use their smartphones to send personal email - end of story.
Yeah, gamenumbers is 100% correct about this. Banks don't give a shit if you're Tweeting or sending personal emails or doing whatever else as long as you get the work done. You just can't send any of that information from a device that's connected to something with firm data on it. If you're working on a model, presentation, whatever, then you can't attach that to an email and send it out to a buddy who is going to use that info illegally. It's 100% to cover themselves and make sure they monitor the flow of insider information, not to board up their employees and make them suffer.
I have to say I'm becoming less and less surprised with people's knowledge and understanding of technology. You'd think with how much people use their iphones/facebook/whatever that they'd know how to do a simple Google search, but they don't (this is NOT directed at OP, probably wouldn't be answered in a G search). That said, I'm surprised OP wasn't able to use some basic analysis skills to come up with the answers to these questions.
I guess the more prevalent social networking becomes, the more used to sharing their own information people get, the less they understand and acknowledge the need for privacy.
Haha, good stuff. Then again, OP is an S&T guy. He's probably hoping for some hot tips through "social media within their workplace to network with colleagues."
Favorite Social Media Platforms? (Originally Posted: 10/19/2016)
Curious about which social media platforms you guys tend to use the most. I’m assuming LinkedIn is a given for most of you on here but what else? I know they can be a massive time suck, but with a social media arsenal of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tinder etc. there’s something out there for everyone.
I would say I find myself using Snapchat, Facebook, and YouTube the most. The first two are great for keeping in touch with family and friends while YouTube is just plain addicting.
I deleted FB about 3 years ago because it became so annoying. Didn't want to see peoples opinions on stuff. Plus it became more about getting married and baby pictures. It was way more fun when you would see stupid pictures the morning after a stupid night when you were 19. Linkedin, I only used when I was job hunting. Since then that is deleted also. Anyone in my true network is in my contact list on my phone. I do like IG and youtube though.
Facebook and Google Plus are my favourite social media platforms that I make use of.
