Two bankers failed miserably in the finance industry, but turned their experiences into a new HBO show (via CNBCMakeIt)

After finding they were pretty terrible as bankers, Konrad Kay and Mickey Down channeled their failures into writing hit TV show "Industry," which sees five college graduates navigate the cut-throat finance sector.

"There was always someone that knew more about stocks than me, so I just never felt qualified opening my mouth about it," Kay told CNBC. "I didn't know a lot of things, I didn't really understand how to do my job but asking for help was even considered ... a weakness," he said. The BBC-HBO show premiered earlier this month, with the first episode directed by "Girls" creator Lena Dunham. "Industry" has received praise as one of the more'Conveyor belt'

"I sort of convinced myself that it was definitely what I wanted to do but it quickly became pretty obvious that I was very ill-suited for it," said Down.Down said he had to "work really hard to be average" at his job.

MakeIt mnadown konradmkay, I get why you did the show but as 2 guys that are brutally honest about the 'Industry' you have to do an episode that calls out the BS that goes on CNBC. & Carl did the interview? smh, go to 7:11 & see what a shill this guy is

MakeIt Love their brutal honesty. So many find themselves in over their heads and in this position but are never honest enough with themselves or others to admit it until it’s too late.

MakeIt Makes perfect sense. Most film and television productions lose money too.
