Hi everyone! I’m a young professional right out of college getting into investing and personal finance management.

I'm doing my internship at Simon-Kucher (4 months), and love the job I do. However, the super long working hours (like 14 hours/day) is killing me, and gives me no space to improve myself or even reading a book.

Though I'm not a fan of finance, P&G is also a good company despite the lower salary and offers me a nice career path. What do you think?

What companies are holding (in their BS) the debt to finance the 2020-2021 boom for used RVs, used light aircrafts, luxury cars (used cars in general), used boats, art, etc.

Typically these type of loans are securitized and sold to 401k/mutual fund investments. However, that is not always the case (e.g. Carvana). I also heard yesterday from finance expert that BOA holds all loans thry issued.

Any companies in the industries above that are holding 2020-2021 financing in their books?
