Anyone ever think about starting a youtube channel? Can you get fired if it's a channel that has nothing to do with financial services (no conflict of interest as I'm not representing the firm's opinion)? Honestly ok with losing my job at this point, but wouldn't want a youtube channel showing up on a background check as I apply for other roles. Thoughts?

Depends on what you are doing on this YouTube Channel. If it’s something unprofessional, then it will be out there forever and someone will always find it (even if not immediately) which will damage your brand. If it’s something that’s not unprofessional but just not career related, I’d say that’s fine. The litmus test should be would you be okay with the boss at your next job (that you care about) seeing it? My guess is no since you are worried about it coming up on a background check…

Unless you’re collecting money a YouTube channel isn’t going to come up on a background check

Why would you get fired? It's not like you signed a contract when you got hired saying you can't have do other things or have other sources of income.
Don't firms only do background checks only when they initially hire people? Stop worrying as long as you can do your job for the firm you'll be fine.

funny

TA1, KPMG (and maybe other B4) have a restriction that you can’t have a second source of income (except for stuff like rental properties, which even that has restrictions on how many properties you can have). So if the YouTube channel gets ad money, it could be a violation of firm policy.

like

KPMG does at least. Basically you can only earn passive investment income (aka no side hustles) unless you jump through a bunch of hoops to get an exception. They do make an exception for rental properties, but limit you to 2 pieces of property. They may be able to make an exception for a spouse, but I’m not sure.
