Networking and providing value in unconventional ways can lead to successful outcomes on Wall Street. Breaking traditional norms and rules is acceptable as long as performance speaks for itself. Gender dynamics play a significant role, as actions that may be accepted for men might be frowned upon for women. The experience highlighted that conventional wisdom does not always hold true in the financial industry.

#493: Do you ever wonder what happens behind closed doors on Wall Street?

Vivian Tu, also known as Your Rich BFF, is here to spill the tea.

Vivian grew up in a modest immigrant family. After college, she found herself working insane hours on Wall Street after college.

While working on Wall Street, Vivian saw some weird things.

Once, a coworker stumbled hungover into the office after a trip to Atlantic City, carrying a duffel bag with thousands of dollars in cash inside.

Vivian realized that there's a group of high-income and high-net-worth people who handle money in drastically different ways than she learned in her frugal upbringing.

She learned about investing, taxes, legal loopholes. She discovered new ways of thinking about money.

She shares these insights -- gleaned from her Wall Street days -- in today's podcast episode.
