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.
