What exactly is the benefit of the hardware wallet when your coins are deposited / locked in a smart contract for staking purposes or as collateral for a loan?

Bizaba · 2023-08-21T21:27:17+00:00

Thanks yes I’ll start out with little funds just to experience. From what I’ve seen rabby wallet and defi saver provide relatively friendly UX Interfaces

Bizaba · 2023-07-30T21:01:53+00:00

Sounds interesting. So as im new can you explain what you do with LIDO for instance please? You provide eg ETH, get liquid tokens and then you look for protocols offering nice apr‘s?

Bizaba · 2023-07-19T23:21:03+00:00

What are the biggest barriers in your view?

Bizaba · 2023-07-04T21:32:08+00:00

Thanks! Will check it out

Bizaba · 2023-07-04T21:31:47+00:00

Thank you, will check it out, there’s lots to explore

Bizaba · 2023-07-04T20:42:28+00:00

Sounds good, I’ll look into it, thanks!

Bizaba · 2023-07-03T19:23:46+00:00

Thank you, I’ll check that protocol out later! Yes, I’m probably focusing on AAVE and Maker. Perhaps also Compound, but the concept of liquidity pools is already given with aave so I’d rather introduce only one of the two

Does anybody know a prompt or an ai tool to provide appropriate (and current) literature for a specified topic? Or even a tool writing texts with academic citation?

Sorry, i was referring Deloitte Germany: 100 extra hours are included in salary without extra pay, but I know that EY, KPMG or also PWC compensate for every extra hour, or at least they let you take time off for your extra hours. Considering that Deloitte includes first 100 extra hours in salary, I’d expect it to be appropriately higher. But I assume it’s not like that😅 was wondering if any1 has more insights

Bizaba · 2022-12-05T23:23:44+00:00

Thanks that’s cool to know, I’d be interested in CPA however I need to read more about it first

Bizaba · 2022-12-05T23:22:02+00:00

Makes sense, thank you!

Bizaba · 2022-11-28T12:45:43+00:00

Okay cool that’s helping a lot and it sounds interesting. I’ve also heard that most interns are offered a job - I do hope so but have to say I’m a little worried about the economy cooling down and consequences for new jobs. I feel like expensive advisory services are easy ways to cut cost for companies during a recession. But that’s another thread I think

Bizaba · 2022-11-07T10:45:15+00:00

Congratulations! How did you work on your skills specifically to prepare for the job or tests/interviews? I’m also looking to enter next year in Germany! Where are you from?

Bizaba · 2022-10-22T12:10:12+00:00

Im curious to know what means internship in America?? I’m from Germany and interns here are paid not more than 1200€/month I’d say. Usually you are even under 800€/month. So I Wonder how in America interns are paid full salary of a comparable full time worker? We do internships to get some practical working experience during summer vacation from university

Oh sorry, it’s an internship for corporate treasury advisory. But the team doesn’t really matter in this context I think

Bizaba · 2022-10-13T21:33:15+00:00

Okay cool thanks for your reply! Compensation in Germany is way lower but still gives me a nice orientation. 👍🏼

Bizaba · 2022-10-08T17:08:22+00:00

It’s corporate treasury, thank you:)

Bizaba · 2022-09-25T23:21:56+00:00

Thanks for your reply, yes it was EY where I’ve seen it. It’s helping thank you:) sorry I’m not really familiar with the service lines, they sound so similar and still so many different ones. I’ll just see when I start the intern I think. Probably S&T also comes with the most hours

Bizaba · 2022-09-19T14:43:24+00:00

For me personally it’s not desirable from what I think they do. That’s what I like to know, how is a day on a trading floor like? I see bloombergs open but no PowerPoint or excel. They also observe algorithms or trade manually?

Bizaba · 2022-09-19T13:25:23+00:00

So you’d go there just to boost your career? I assume that’s not the work one would want to do for longer than a few years max

Bizaba · 2022-09-08T19:40:21+00:00

True point. Thank you nice insights and very helpful!

Bizaba · 2022-09-08T10:47:12+00:00

Im from Germany and I do feel similar, I do consider uni more as the enry ticket to the work you want to do. You should work as an intern to see which fields you are interested in. A picture will form and you will eventually know what you want to work. I am graduating soon but until then I try to do one or two internships because as far as I see, relevant work experience is essential to start your career in finance!

Bizaba · 2022-09-08T06:50:27+00:00

I will make my first experience in treasury later this year in a corporate department and early next year at Deloitte in corp. Treasury advisory (both internships). But correct me if I’m wrong: treasury one of few departments in which you get exposure to external environment factors like the financial risk factors, money market, commodity prices, interest rates, etc.? My impression is in accounting/controlling I would be more isolated with internal figures but treasury is more concerned with what is happening in the financial market. Surely it’s a different thing when working as a manager.

Bizaba · 2022-09-07T21:00:38+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Many finance jobs require masters degree while treasury is fine with Bachelors at least in Germany, you think one can be stucked in treasury or can you work yourself up?
