What do investment bankers actually do?

You asked, and the Good Work Investigative News Team answered. Even if you didn’t ask, the Good Work Investigative News Team still answered. That’s just how good we are.

Thanks to Dunkin’, the official sponsor of getting Good Work out of bed in the morning (this is real).

Thanks to the following intrepid souls for their help with this investigation: Steph Mui, founder of PIN and former JPMorgan I-banker; Liam Killingstad, SVP at SHEPERD therapeutics and former Goldman I-banker; Sonali Basak, lead Wall Street correspondent at Bloomberg TV and writer for Bloomberg news; and Theresa Moriarty and Spencer Wright, who both have partners who are investment bankers.
