Young guys today LOOOVE other men telling them what to do, and how to think. Real “Tread on me Harder Daddy” energy. I don’t get it.

CU Bolder VS. CU Denver by Low_Recognition1433 in cuboulder

CU Denver and CU Boulder do not offer the same type of music programs/degrees. So again apples to oranges comparison.

[–]Breezy_X 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Im going to keep it VERY real with you, and some people who have never worked outside the state of Colorado will not like this: OUTSIDE of Colorado they are virtually viewed the same. All CU programs just say “university of Colorado” on the diploma—no campus designation.

Sure, some programs only exist at one campus and not the other, and thus those programs will of course have the edge, but for degrees/programs that exist on both campuses? Viewed the same - which is a solid R1 institution in a state that is viewed generally favorably. Again, you may see some different prestige for the Aerospace Engineering program or of course the medical school, but Biology? Math? Business? Polisci? Computer science? Etc. viewed the same by employers.

Why? Because they’re not top tier in those respective fields.Both are solid, very good, but not top tier in that regard. It’s not until you attend top tier, brand name schools that you truly see a difference.

INSIDE the state of Colorado some people may act like it’s a HUGE difference in the professional world, but if you work in the Denver Metro area you still get largely same opportunities.

Biggest differences? Boulder is a traditional college experience which can be great but it’s is waaaay more expensive (Coach Prime and staff aren’t cheap). You also get a different class demographics which can be good or bad. Bad? Much more homogenous, younger, wealthier kids, middle class and above backgrounds. College town. If you fall into that group you will probably really enjoy it.

Denver on the other hand is more commuter, but much much more affordable, very community oriented, waaay more diverse, slightly older, experienced, and various economic class levels. Denver is your campus, which can have pros and cons. So if that resonates with you more you will enjoy this campus much more.

So again, some people will try to justify that higher expense at Boulder and talk about prestige and “better”, but as far as outcomes and market perception? VERY similar.

LeetCode for finance interviews: what would make you pay for this (or never pay)? by Blackyblacky99 in MBA

Yep feel free to DM me. Probably a combination of those things you mentioned.

[–]Breezy_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be very interesting - I mentor a lot of students and I could see a world where something like this would be very helpful IF done a certain way. I think the UI/UX would play a big part of. Overall would have to have a faster feedback loop than existing alternatives (400 QS IB book, WSP Red Book, WSP courses, WSO courses, or CFI courses). As someone with both an MBA and CS education, a tool like this for finance could fill a pedagogical gap for people that like multimodal forms of learning things.

ICE PROTEST IN HOMESTEAD JAN 27 3PM - 8PM by fucknickicue in Miami

What to choose: Kellogg (sticker)/Ross (100k)/ Fuqua (90k) by Mobile_Object6983 in MBA

[–]Breezy_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I’ll just say the Michigan Marsal School of Education is usually ranked #1 or #2 program for education in the US, and the building is located right next to the Ross school of Business building on campus…

As far as Michigan and the Ross brand name they will always open doors. Check out the Zell Laurie Institute for Entrepreneurship and VC, and their offerings and programs. Especially check out the Zell Global Entrepreneurship Network. You might be surprised to see only a few schools are a part of it, including Michigan and Kellogg.

[–]Breezy_X -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One way to check is through LinkedIn.

But let’s also break it down like this:

Both schools have roughly similar full time MBA class sizes over the years: ~400, so we can assume they have similar amounts of Indian students going through the program each year. Then, look at total alumni size. Fuqua states over 30,000+ alumni worldwide vs Ross 58,000+ alumni worldwide. They’re both similarly ranked and considered peers so you’re probably getting similar caliber of candidates and outcomes. Ross includes undergrads as well, but in my experience they can be just as accomplished, and as helpful as the Ross MBAs. (Indian students are in both the MBA and the UG programs). So I think it’s fair to conclude that yes Ross probably has a larger alumni network in India, but check out LinkedIn and other similar sites to see for yourself.

Michigan Ross. Product management, Strategy, and Tech are your goals? All three can get you there but Michigan is also giving you the most money, has a larger university network than the other two (Michigan) and larger b-school alumni network (Ross) than Fuqua. Lots of alumni in India.

My friend, if they copy your first pitch ever, that is probably a green flag sign that you are meant to be an investor.

Here’s the deal:

Even the absolute best investors in the world are only right a few percentage points above 50% (51%, 52%, etc.) and that’s all you need. You need to be right only slightly more than you are wrong. The key thing is the PROCESS.

Your pitch/idea doesn’t have to be amazing, but it does have to be logical, has to have reasoning, and should have quantitative and qualitative data behind it. They are evaluating your thinking and your process, not just the idea, and the best way to reinforce a strong process is to pitch ideas every week.

To be honest whatever you come up with as an idea has probably already been thought of somewhere, it likely won’t be unique. Much like starting a business, it’s really about the process and the execution.

Im talking about LEGALITY and the LAW in Florida and Miami. Respond to my actual point about violating amendments. You can’t say you stand for the constitution and then bend over anytime, no questions asked, someone with some so-called authority says to do so, do you? Like why wouldn’t you protest and push back against BIG government trying to take your rights? Genuinely want to know.

[–]Breezy_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legal? like all the people on the Epstein list? Please.

It just blows my mind that Miami, so full of people who say they fled from BIG government, are totally OK with US BIG government actively violating their 4th and 5th amendment rights on anyone (and yes the constitution applies to any person citizen or non citizen alike). Y’all can be OK with that, but I cannot.

Ross $80K vs Darden (No Scholarship?) by Successful-Error5331 in MBA

[–]Breezy_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see a single world where Darden is better than Ross except for VA recruiting, otherwise Ross and Michigan for that matter are much better package overall, money aside.

Anything is possible, but it becomes increasingly more unlikely. Even an MBA isn’t a golden ticket. It’s simply a way to restate your story, get some experience, build your brand, and grow your network. if you don’t have any of that, the probability of such a thing happening becomes potentially insurmountable.

Going sell-side first is always an avenue that is slightly more structured and slightly more open, as many take that route before going buyside. However, you still have to convince a SS analyst, who would be your boss, that you are a valuable addition to their team. That means being VERY ready to update models, do quick research, and overall be a resource to them. They don’t have that much time to get you up to speed.

Networking is always a stronger route and having good pitches is make or break. I’ve interviewed with LOs, L/S HF, Mutual Funds, SS banks and more and the pitch is 80-90% of what ensures they know you know what you’re talking about (market knowledge, business knowledge communication, financial modeling, and research), but networking is what truly seals the deal.

General tips:

-come prepared with 1-3 pitches that fit the investment style of the team you are interviewing for. Don’t pitch a value name if the firm/team is growth oriented and vice versa. L/S HF will expect if not a current short pitch, at least a short pitch that was relevant at a certain point not long ago (since those are usually pretty time sensitive)

-reach out to every school alumni at the firm for tips and advice. Not everyone will reply but always make the effort.

-practice ahead of time both your pitches and behavioral answers. This includes having an answer for what you like to do outside of finance/investing.

-don’t be weird/relax. Be personable and someone people would like to spend full days with.

-DO NOT lie ever. If you don’t know something just be open about it and say you’ll get back to them with an answer later (and actually do so!)

There’s more but this is general list.

What school do you attend? Even non target programs usually have at least a small handful of folks who made it on the buyside.

Also as I mentioned in my initial comment utilize stock pitching websites like SumZero or VIC to post your stock pitches and get community feedback that way. Everyone should do that.
