In this episode we delve into episode three of HBO Max's hit show, 'Industry,'. We walk through Harper's cross-asset trade idea involving puts on the homebuilders index, calls on gold, and credit default swaps (CDS), and her interactions with bosses Daria and Eric and use it to discuss mentorship on Wall Street. We further use the show as an excuse to explain sales credits, trade executions, and correlation trades.

We get into workplace politics and the often-blurred lines between personal and professional relationships, highlighting Gus and Robert's varying strategies to win over the client, Usman, and why in some cases the smartest person in the room isn't the one who comes out on top. We give our take on the challenging balance of maintaining professional relationships and achieving career growth on Wall Street.
