How to Invest Banking Salary

Hey everyone! About to start my investment banking job in July and was curious as to what those already within the industry do with their income. Don't want a crazy amount of money just sitting in my bank, so was wondering what kinds of accounts are desirable/permitted for those in the industry. Obviously wanting to max out my 401K, but looking throw my salary in other places. Thanks!
