A pair of baby-faced Goldman Sachs bankers could be fired over flashy photo shoots and interviews they gave for an “unauthorized” spread in a trendy New York magazine, The Post has learned.Ivy League graduates Mason Clarke, 24, and Clay Nelson, 25, have landed themselves “in hot water” — after they appeared in a feature for Interview Magazine dubbed “The Finest Boys in Finance,” according to well-placed sources.In the splashy spread, the junior Goldman bankers laid bare their eye-popping spending habits, the state of their love lives, and their favorite hangouts to blow off steam in the Big Apple.Clarke, who said he enjoys sipping Chianti between his brutal banking shifts, was pictured sprawled on a plush navy couch, pouting in a Celine suit, a Hermes tie, and a luxury watch by Swiss manufacturer Omega.“Live below your means, invest early, and don’t build the lifestyle before you build the foundation,” the young investment banker advised.Three sources familiar with the matter said the young Wall Streeters had caused “embarrassment” inside the David Solomon-led firm and that they had blindsided their bosses.One source said that any HR proceedings would no doubt be shrouded in secrecy, but that possible sanctions could range from “a slap on the wrist all the way up to termination.”“If these analysts didn’t get approval, then that’s a violation of the firm’s policy,” said one veteran Wall Streeter.“The policies are clear: It’s about checking with people who might have better judgment.”Goldman’s chief spokesperson, Tony Fratto, a George W.
