But, generally, Gen Zers' transparency only goes so far.

Most TikTokers decline to reveal their specific employers, as many still have strict social media policies. Although Goldman Sachs intends to launch TikTok content that will detail the days of its junior employees, the firm also recently took down some employee videos, claiming they violated its guidelines, per Bloomberg.
