Hello Alastair, I've gone on a tear through your 3 videos on Industry. Absolutely lovely commentary and scene selection. Your massacre of Harper's structured product pitch was side splitting. I would have never picked up on it myself had you not pointed it out. My face turned as red as yours when you highlighted the irony of it being a total ANTI-hedge 😂😂😂 Financial... Well high-financial literacy isn't a common trait amongst drama fanatics so that piece of comedic gold would've gone over many people's heads. Looking forward to episode 4 !
Got to love the energetic ’thinking’ music in the background too! Mix that in with some impressed superiors and it’s good enough to fool anyone who isn’t keen.
As always, if you have any questions about anything you've seen in Industry please let us know in the comments below! Give a thumbs up if you've enjoyed watching this video and subscribe for more TV/film reviews. Just a note letting you know that at 25:20 I said Daria's name when I meant to say Harper. Thanks for watching - Alastair
Hmmm. It was mentioned that in IB you work long hours and compete for personal versus work time but that's okay b/c the money is so good. In another video however it was mentioned that IB starting analysts make around 50k. That doesn't sound that great.
great insight. do they carry on with the same work pattern / working hours as they progress? how many years do they carry on with these brutal working hours?
Wouldnt be more resonable to buy a call option on the 10y treasury when there is a major meltdown? Also what would be the strategy if the value of treasuries devalue?
When Harper says the product is a hedge, I wonder if she's talking about the entire product being a hedge for people who hold the consensus view and are therefore long?
I wonder if Harper's early ideas, which as you say are absurd, are part of why Eric takes to her. He recognizes her brilliance, but frequently allows her to make amateur and borderline unethical mistakes. For example, when she gets the notional wrong with Aubrey and decides to fix it herself, she risks losing hundreds of thousands of dollars for the company, but when she fesses up to Eric he doesn't reprimand her in the slightest, instead complementing her on her resourcefulness in trying to fix the mess. When she gets a win with Bloom, Eric dresses her down slightly. He is deliberately inflating her ego but at the same time ensuring that she's just inept enough that she will remain dependent on him. I have a dog that looks exactly like those two dogs in the painting.
Really helpful, thank you for explaining. And your clear passion for the industry makes your videos even more interesting to watch

Hello. Can I trouble you for a season 2 analysis??
