In this episode of the unofficial companion podcast for HBO Max's hit show 'Industry,' we dive deep into the financial intricacies of Season 1, Episode 5. Join Jen and Kristen as they break down the implications of an Italian Brexit and explore how jargon like 'Brexit' has evolved within financial circles. We also delve into the challenges and nuances of bonus structures, discussing the impacts of deferred compensation and stock-based bonuses on Wall Street professionals, with real-life insights from Jen and Kristen's own careers in finance.

The episode unravels the complexities of mentorship and social mobility within the financial industry. We examine how characters navigate class tensions, the influence of networking, and the often problematic dynamics between mentors and mentees. Whether it's understanding the fallout from being short euros, dissecting the hierarchical challenges faced by junior analysts, or exploring the social pressure to conform, we've got you covered.

Additionally, we spotlight the contrasting responses of characters to workplace pressures and moral dilemmas, examining how their backgrounds influence their decisions and interactions. Tune in to get the skinny on what's real and what's just Hollywood as we break down everything from finance to workplace culture in your favorite show.
