I only listened to a few episodes but this podcast was pointless for the guy who’s out in the workforce and spending his spare time trying to figure out how to turn a working wage into a retirement. This show is another chat feast for us workers who didn’t go to Harvard or Princeton to wonder what it would be like to inherit money or grow up in a family where Ivy League education is normal. Who cares🤷‍♂️…

This is what I’ve been looking for! Sure, we can watch Industry without knowing anything about about the finance world because the writing, directing, and acting show you how high the stakes are and the shifting interpersonal relationships and power dynamics drive the stories. But when you actually understand what is happening in a transaction and someone in the know (like Kristen and Jen) contextualizes it, the plot becomes that much richer. I am so excited for you two that you’re just beginning season 1, and you still have two and a half seasons to go. You might want to check out interviews with Konrad Kay and Mickey Down, the creators who worked in finance before this project. Also, you might enjoy the podcast “The Watch” which has been doing incredible analyses of the characters, plot, etc since the beginning. Please, please, please do more episodes to break down the financial aspects of the show. I just watched episode 6 of season 3 last night and things are getting far more complex! Most of us do not understand the intricacies of what’s happening but do get the references to Lehman Bros. Please catch up soon and help us out!

I’m a senior in college in finance and am so glad I found the Wall Street Skinny. With a lotta background knowledge it makes it easier for me to understand this podcast but I believe they do a good job breaking topics down for beginners as well. This podcast has opened my eyes up to many more things finance related and taught me so much. Really great podcast they both are very entertaining to listen to lotta good info on PE and investment banking but also just any high finance career in general.

Extremely informative on banking and finance from two hosts that know the inside workings. They always seem like they are having a blast!

Great podcast to learn about all aspects of finance! I work in a niche area of finance, and frequently listen to this podcast to round out my general finance education. The hosts make learning about finance enjoyable and easy to understand - both of which are great feats!

Jen and Kristen break concepts down so well and always have such entertaining guests! Highly recommend.

So many jobs in finance feel inaccessible because they are over complicated, or poorly explained. The WSS breaks down topics so well and always has the most incredible guests on their show. I particularly love the “skinny sessions.” Jen and Kristen do a wonderful job at communicating current events and traditional finance , I’ve recommended so many of my friends to listen to the podcast.

Kristen and Jen are the best possible hosts for a finance podcast. Their easy to follow explanations and casualness they keep throughout episodes has significantly helped me understand complicated concepts. Best podcast ever and easy to listen to whenever and wherever.

The hosts do an amazing job of breaking down financial topics into easy-to-understand bits.They use clear language and relatable examples, making even intimidating subjects feel approachable.

Enjoy listening to their podcasts. The hosts communicate in a genuine, honest, and relatable format. Feels like they address all the questions listeners have been thinking about and wanting to ask.

Love the podcast. As someone that works in finance, I appreciate their deep dives into divisions I interact with, and now better understand. Super accessible.

I absolutely love the content of this podcast. This podcast provides insightful information to both finance and non-finance professionals, students, etc. Both Jen and Kristen are great communicators who are able to explain complex concepts in an eloquent way that makes it easy for listeners to understand. I also appreciate that they invite guests to talk about different topics and careers.

Jen and Kristen really breakdown the ins and outs of Wall Street, being very candid about the good and the bad. I would highly recommended to anyone wanting to better understand the industry. Please keep doing what you’re doing!!!

This is one of the best podcasts ever! Exploring a career in finance can seem complicated with all the possibilities out there. However, Jen and Kristen really make everything super easy to understand and all the advice and the insights from the experts that they interview sometimes has helped me to get a better understanding on how to build a career in the field! Definitely recommend it to everyone.

I found this podcast by following their Instagram account for a while…was blown away by the content and quality of the podcasts. This is a wonderful listen for those looking to break into finance, those already in finance, or for those with an interest in financial topics. I was feeling a bit lost in my finance career but these podcasts and their guests (ex: Zoe Cruz) gave me hope and guidance in navigating my career….hopefully it can do so for you too. Grateful to have found this podcast. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! DON’T THINK JUST FOLLOW!!!

As a current college student, this podcast is extremely insightful into different areas of financial services. You get to hear from real people in these specific fields and learn what sort of person can fit in these industries. It has allowed me to gain so much knowledge into this industry and help me gain a more well-rounded perspective.

Jen and Kristen do a great job explaining finance in understandable and interesting ways. I’m in my undergraduate studies and have learned so much from them regarding a career in finance. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the world of finance!

I love listening to the ladies talk about various finance topics broken down into laymen terms because it’s much more digestible! Love listening on my morning drives!!

Great podcast ! The girls do an amazing job making financial concepts understandable to people who are not as familiar with this world. As someone who works in finance I love to take their view on current events as well as listen to the older concept episodes to understand other products/strategies I don’t see on my day to day. Extremely informative and easy to follow. If you are looking into getting into finance or pivoting towards a different area within I 10/10 recommend giving it a listen!

It’s a gem for anyone into finance. The hosts break down complex topics in an easy-to-understand way and provide great insights through expert interviews. It’s perfect whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting out. Highly recommend giving it a listen!

As a college student pursuing finance, but unsure of what exact field is a best fit, these podcasts episodes have been a helpful and entertaining to listen to while doing everyday tasks. Kristen and Jen break down things so that even beginners can digest the information!

This podcast has been super helpful in helping me learn more about the different careers in the finance industry, and the hosts bring great energy and questions each episode and for the guests they bring on

Great podcast for someone interested in a high finance career or curious about in general. Definitely have learned a lot from the episodes and their instagram posts.

Love listening to the WSS on my morning commute to my IB job. The podcast makes finance accessible (and fun!), teaches important concepts and covers relevant topics/events in the news. Kristen and Jen offer a refreshing tone and experienced perspective that makes every episode a worthwhile listen. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in pursuing or actively in a finance role. Thanks Kristen and Jen!

Great resource for both young and experienced professionals about the general state of the market, culture within the banks and workplaces. Highly recommended!

As someone who has spent my career in healthcare, I have learned so much about finance by listening to the Wall Street Skinny. Kristen and Jen are very engaging, well spoken, down to earth, and informative. They make something as daunting as the nuances of working on Wall Street understandable. Thank you ladies for teaching this mom of a “finance bro” a thing or two!

This is truly an amazing podcast in the world of finance podcasts. Not only has this allowed me to learn more about the areas of finance I’m most interested in exploring as a potential career, but more and more! Even when you think it can’t get any better, the Wall Street Skinny proves you wrong!

As a 22-year-old embarking on my career journey, the Wall Street Skinny podcast has been an eye-opening and enriching experience that has significantly contributed to my understanding of finance and investing. Whether they're discussing market trends, investment strategies, or personal finance tips, every episode is filled with practical advice and actionable steps that empower me to make informed decisions about my own financial future.

Great podcast! They do a great job going into the real details and nuances of finance instead of the general and same overviews we see all over the place. Interviewing real professionals is the way to go. Entertaining too.

Love these podcasts - great intel, advice, honest and fun presentation. Love the themes, deep dives and interviews! Keep it up

I saw this on Instagram reels first and then started selectively listening - I started with the Succession episodes. I’ve since worked my way through about 90% of the episodes. Jen and Kristen are hilarious, intelligent and great teachers. I work in talent management in professional services and wish there was podcast like this for my industry. While I’ll never work in finance, I do have a much better understanding of what investment banking v private equity v hedge funds are!

I love the Wall Street Skinny — I have learned a tremendous amount about Wall Street / finance from listening to this show. Not only do they break down all of the complicated concepts you’re too afraid to ask about, they also dive into the unspoken norms and break down the culture. Learning these things have made me more confident in finance circles. I especially enjoyed the Succession episodes and the three part on the Caesar’s LBO. Keep it up!

Finally, some interesting and entertaining female voices in the world of high finance!

AH! Kristen and Jen are amazing. I think I’ve listened to every episode that’s been released and from the beginning! Hard to believe how much the podcast and IG has grown but not surprised in the slightest. There are so many episodes that I’ll re-listen to when I need a refresher too! The material is relevant, timely, interesting, and beyond helpful for myself in the financial industry, and others who are curious. Kristen and Jen are the perfect pair, and so intelligent. There is genuinely nothing like this out there! THANK YOU BOTH! This podcast is a staple in my daily life. ☺️

What a great podcast that I was able to find out about from their Instagram account. If you like their podcast then you would love their Instagram page! They have a lot of great content that also coincide with their podcasts.

I am so happy I discovered this podcast just on time for my sophomore IB internship !

I’d like say they’re sharing so much real and experienced value in the finance world. Keep going with these great and helpful podcast! Congrats and cheers !

The Wall Street Skinny Journal podcast has been a game-changer for me as a liberal arts student-athlete preparing for internships in high finance. It's like a crash course in business and finance that's accessible and engaging. The conversations with all the special guests have been eye-opening, providing me with insights I never imagined I'd have. Who knows, maybe in a couple of years, Jen and Kristen will be inviting me to this podcast as a CFO or CEO. Thanks to this podcast, I'm feeling ready to tackle whatever the corporate world throws my way.

Love listening!

The creators are humorous, knowledgeable and approachable in how they break down concepts. Any professional starting or exploring mobility in their finance career will benefit from these podcasts - they tackle concepts and questions that are so often referenced in the industry that one could be afraid to ask about it of their colleagues (like “risk on and off”). Highly recommend!

The podcast is very insightful and helpful about finance and how to get a job in it.

So I never cared to learn about Wall St because it appeared to be some club for rich people. Always heard about Wall St, but 100% ignorant about what the industry was until I found the podcast via Instagram. Both Kristen and Jen always takes the time to define terms and connects financial info to pop culture and real life examples, especially real estate. They don’t make you feel stupid as they explain the financial industry.

I stumbled upon this podcast a few months ago and have been hooked ever since. At a point where I feel at a dead-end and stuck in my career, through this podcast Kristen and Jen have given me the confidence, motivation, and spark I needed to pursue my career goals and chase opportunities that are in my scope but I was once so daunted by. I never would have even considered the possibility of pursuing a career on Wall Street/high finance if I hadn’t found this podcast. I have never adopted such an inspired and driven mindset as I hold now; the knowledge I’ve learned has opened so many areas of exploration for me. I look forward to each morning at work when I can spend a few hours catching up on the Wall Street Skinny. Not only am I learning an immense amount of information, but the upbeat, fun, and relatable dialogue makes it feels like you are simply chit-chatting with your friends!

College freshman here pursing a degree a finance ! I listen to Kristen and Jen when commuting to school I put on a episode for the car ride and open my mind to a new possibilities. I learn a lot from you guys thank you !

I’ve been following their social media. Their accessible yet comprehensive details on the finance industry has been fascinating

Amazing Podcast. I wish that at the time I was getting my first job in finance there was a guide/mentorship like this. You two are great and is very easy to listen to you guys. I am 5 years in the industry and I keep learning from you guys. One quick recommendation: can you do a podcast talking about job placement for international students? It is a real struggle that no one talks about 🙏🏼🙏🏼.

I found this pod when I was recruiting for investment banking as an MBA student and it continues to be an invaluable resource for me. The content is very accessible, but can also get more technical at times (which is great for those learning). Kristen and Jen are super entertaining and relatable and they interview some pretty cool and interesting guests. Highly recommended for anyone interested in finance as a subject, especially for those pursuing a career in the field.

I am a May 2024 grad studying psychology looking for real estate finance roles. The Wall Street Skinny has been vital to my continued education in the high finance realm, and they make it very understandable for someone with my background. I am extremely grateful for the conversations, as I enjoy podcasts and *quality* podcasters! They are fun and easy to learn from. I am grateful I found these lovely women, and I’m looking forward to the real estate episode!
