I’m in a small brokerage where the culture revolves around happy hours and late-night drinking. Honestly, that’s just not my thing. I don’t drink much, and I’d rather spend evenings recharging. But I’ve noticed that the people who show up to every bar outing seem to get looped into the best accounts and opportunities. I’m starting to worry that my boundaries are holding my career back. Should I just suck it up and go?

This is classic bro culture garbage. If your performance isn’t enough without drinking buddies, that’s a toxic environment. I’d start looking for a brokerage that values skill over bar tabs.

Remember, retail buying is going to be at its strongest today around 1pm ET. That’s when ya bois on the West coast have had their coffee and are ready to smash that buy button. Don’t be fooled by any kind of dip we see between premarket and the first hour or so of trading.
