In this episode of 'The Wall Street Skinny,' Jen and Kristen dive deep into the finance-heavy intricacies of HBO Max's hit show 'Industry,' Season 1, Episode 7, aptly titled 'Pre Crisis Activity.' 

They discuss the ramifications of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis on Wall Street culture, touching upon terms like 'pre-crisis activity' and austerity measures implemented to curb excess and risk-taking. They also break down concepts like sales credits, account consolidation, and the senior relationship management (SRM) role within investment banks. You’ll learn why keeping client relationships transparent is both a strategic tool and a political maneuver within financial firms.

The conversation takes a turn into the murky waters of clawbacks and deferred compensation, shedding light on these often misunderstood topics. The hosts don't shy away from discussing timely issues like inclusion and diversity (DEI initiatives) in the workplace, while also tackling the dark side of competitive banking environments through real-world examples. This episode isn't just for fans of the show; it's a crash course in some of the most pressing financial issues of our time.
