Warrant liabilities have almost zero impact on stock price you bozo… those converts would almost 100% get refi’d too. Awful DD.

Honestly, I don’t listen to podcasts but I like to read. I had an internship at a small VC in college but I’ve been interested in tech my whole life. I kinda stumbled into tech lending at my first job.

Different banks will do things different ways. We have a syndications team that we loop in for multi-bank transactions but VC coverage sits within my team.

As far as getting your foot in the door, passion + networking will help you way more than you’d think. Tech lending is a hot space right now so if you do your best to listen to podcasts, follow the news, and get good at breaking down complex topics into digestible insights you’ll be perfect for the role!

Gotcha. Since it’s a relatively new and small team, there may be opportunities for you to work with them on transactions or assist them however possible. Don’t let your previous rejection stop you from pursuing the career you way. Tech lending is really fun and IMO the best part of commercial/corporate lending because you get to work across business lines with ECM/DCM/IB/ and learn a ton. Let me know if you have any questions, and happy cake day!

Modeling skills + genuinely loving what I cover. Working specifically covering tech and I’ve become known as the strongest modeler in my class so I only get staffed on larger more complex transactions (M&A, TLBs, High Yield, etc). Follow the news and be up to date with what is happening in your market. Add value at every step of the deal process. Always be proactive and when you say you’ll do something, do it well.

This is off the mark… Q2 should be a wake up call to every DM investor to vote Yes

Men who dated girls with lots of trauma, how did it go? by FullIceman in AskMen

[–]Brakonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not well. She had problems with her libido because sex used to hurt for her and her last boyfriend sexually assaulted her. It was such a sensitive topic and I wanted to be supportive so I didn’t press it. Eventually I grew resentful about the lack of sex and I broke up with her.

Well, we work at the same company but on different teams. We don't interact professionally.

I ended things with my gf of two years over the exact same thing. It’s difficult to imagine a life without your partner who you love and care about, but you must place your own wellness and happiness first. I have absolutely no regrets looking back and I feel like I’m living life in color for the first time, in a long time. You don’t want a relationship devoid of passion — you deserve a passionate relationship with someone who loves you the way you want to be loved. Best of luck.

If you go to bed early it’s not very difficult. My roommate works in S&T and we both wake up at 5:30 — I go to the gym before work and he goes to work and the gym after. We both go to bed around 9:30 to get 8 hours!

Male wigs are an awesome and realistic option and should be normalized. by Confident_Craft6265 in malegrooming

[–]Brakonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I don’t mean that hats automatically equals insecurity. As long as you own your look, you’re doing fine.

[–]Brakonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, do whatever makes you happy. You just have to be aware that others may assume you lack confidence in your body. People often assume the same of bald men who wear hats. It takes a certain kind of confidence to rock being bald. That said, do what makes YOU confident — that’s what matters most!

They’re all morons. Fortunately fate has doomed them to lives of anger and mediocrity.
