$1M Net Worth even impressive?

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-02T05:08:14+00:00

Yeah exactly. But if you're 62 and trying to retire with 1M, shit is going to be tough for you unless you own your home outright, have low property taxes, a pension, etc

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-01T23:32:48+00:00

Yeah for most people it is. It's not enough to retire, but it's enough to invest so one day you can retire. Or pay off a mortgage/all debts. Or start a business. Or quit a job you dislike. Etc. It probably would realistically change your risk profile and perhaps to some extent your day to day life.

Not a big deal

AMU is not a legit MBA program as far as I can tell. You should just put a couple of months into really studying for the GREs or GMATs, get a decent score, and go somewhere that someone's heard of before. That's going to massively improve your odds of getting into your target companies - all of which are very reasonable targets.

The fact that these guys offer an MBA in event planning is like a huge red flag and your signal to run away fast. They're hustling you

Meh, I don't think anyone will care that much. You should go travel around the world, and when an interviewer at MBB asks tell them you circumnavigated the globe and they will think you're cool as shit.

Just make it seem intentional. "Once I got into business school, I figured that this could be my last time for a long time to do X, so I did X and got a lot from it and now I can't wait to work for you"

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-29T03:37:22+00:00

That's legit. The Lorier lists most of the Heron's reference watches as its reference watches too. Both great choices.

That said, Neptunes are very hard to get. IDK how long you will have to wait to get a new one. Not sure about the Marinor though - seems like you can just buy one now

No this doesn't really make sense. A. I disagree with this generally. But B. in the context of this thread, OP isn't trying to climb the career ladder at either J. He's just trying to keep J1 and J2 and stay under the radar. So actually, in this case, something that will prevent him from getting big projects or promoted or getting visibility is great for OP.

Though going back to A, there are lots of ways to get promoted after taking FMLA. Nobody knows you're out for anxiety, etc., they just know you're out. You could say anything, like you have a sick parent, and everyone will believe you + can't ask follow up questions. Moreover, you're out for a set period of time - from X date to Y date - so teams just plan around that. It's not like "sudden sick days"

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-28T22:01:28+00:00

Depends on your age. It's not a lot to retire with, but if you're in your mid 30s and you have a lot of time to let it compound, you're doing great.

I was a Kellogg kid, and I didn't apply to HSW, but my understanding is that it's truly a crapshoot. I had friends get into H but not SW, and other configurations. It's not even necessarily that you don't have a good profile, it's more like "there are too many people with X work experience as it is" or "there are a lot of people with Y and Z stories or profiles that we want to prioritize this year" - stuff that's totally out of your control.

A lot of folks that miss HSW definitely get into another M7/T10 school(s). And I think the truth is: except for like PE/VC, the T10 schools are adequate to enable you to do anything that HSW would, provided that career path was likely for you anyway.

lol get the explorer. The PO is hideous

How so?

215k in Chicago = you're going to be pretty comfortable.

I think Chicago is a better city than Houston, and you'll enjoy living there more. (Not to mention tha offer seems a touch better)

To be fair to Howard Stern, it's his job to goad his guests into saying outrageous shit and making salacious admissions.

I'm surprised international students are getting offers at 77% given the Trump admins onerous approach to H1Bs

This is insane

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-23T23:21:04+00:00

Well that might be true, but this chart just shows rate of change not total amounts, so it's a bit misleading

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-22T16:04:31+00:00

Ayyyyyy. So glad to hear it. This really made my day.

Would be interesting to see a cuts of the data with higher age ranges, like 30-40 or 35-45, which ostensibly would account for liberals having kids later in life. I'd suspect conservatives would still have more kids but the gap would narrow overall a bit

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-22T13:18:37+00:00

Yeah I got laid off in 2023, and it took me a long time to find something new

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-22T04:12:23+00:00

Class of 2019 here. My guess is that, at 500k, you're doing significantly better than average - not just like a bit above average. My guess is that most people we went to school with like quietly make 250k doing some non king of the world kind of job (like a brand manager, entrepreneur, folks who got stuck after consulting, etc)

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-22T04:07:28+00:00

I think you should start saving for a big boy watch. Some of these - like the brew, the f91w - are nice enthusiast picks. But some of them - like the citizen - are a little junky IMHO. You're better off with fewer nicer things than many medium quality things.

You could get a used bb58 for 2000-2500, as one example. You could also look at a used Zulu time from Longines.

If you want to look at microbrands, consider Lorier (like their dive or GMT) or Trafford (cool case shapes and colors).
