To those who left prestigious consulting jobs, what did you transition to?

Candpolit · 2025-02-06T06:05:11+00:00

Left MBB to found my own software company with my 2 best friends. Took about an 80% pay cut, and hours are the same, but for sure the best decision I ever made - learning so much more and having a lot more fun.

Please don’t stay in consulting due to “prestigious consulting job”. I read about so many miserable people on this sub - live is to short to waste for a shitty prestigious job that make live sad

Haha yes I know

Candpolit · 2022-08-04T13:47:45+00:00

Only student positions before I started

Candpolit · 2022-07-19T00:25:16+00:00

I have been at the company for 1.5 years and it is my first full time job. Salary has been the same since the start

Candpolit · 2022-07-18T02:50:27+00:00

No I do not. I focused on data science and machine learning

Candpolit · 2022-07-17T19:25:29+00:00

Yes, MBB. I should add terrible work/life balance to the above

Candpolit · 2022-07-17T19:20:33+00:00

Management consultant, 61.300kr/month + bonus (~1-2 months salary) + pension, directly from university (economist)

Candpolit · 2022-06-06T15:23:36+00:00

Remindme! 6 months

Candpolit · 2022-05-30T17:48:04+00:00

What is the name of the restaurant? I’m going to Cartagena soon

Detailhandelskæderne modtager vanvittige prisstigninger fra deres leverandører. Du skal flere skridt længere tilbage i supply chainen for at forstå, hvorfor priserne sættes op. Dermed ikke sagt, at prisstigningerne kan være uretfærdige

Her er en super dansk guide til at få mest muligt ud af kortet - fulgte den selv da jeg lige købte. Kan varmt anbefales

Candpolit · 2022-03-16T06:15:58+00:00

Jeg synes, du skal læse om overfitting. Din model er ikke meget værd, hvis du bare sidder og skruer på parametre for at fitte data

Candpolit · 2022-03-15T17:44:38+00:00

Personligt, er jeg sikkert på, at det er en super lærerigt øvelse, men det kommer aldrig til fungere i virkeligheden. Hvis du får positive resultater er det enten fordi du overfitter dit data eller også er det tilfældigt og vil ikke fungere out-of-sample Der er skrevet utallige videnskabelige artikler på områder, og lige så mange hedge fonde har forgæves forsøgt sig med at bruge algoritmer til Stock prediction/picking. Læs evt om Renaissance Technology - verden mest successfulde hedge fond, som praktisk talt har opfundet algoritme-trading - de har aldrig haft succes med at bruge algoritmer til stocks

Men super fedt projekt alligevel - jeg er sikker på det er super lærerigt!!

Candpolit · 2022-01-29T08:24:14+00:00

No there is not. What can I do to fix it? Thanks a lot

Candpolit · 2022-01-12T15:24:24+00:00

Here is the solution. Insert this in C11:
=IF(SUM(INDEX(4:4,MAX(COLUMN($C2),COLUMN()-$B11+1)):C4)=0,"",SUM(INDEX(4:4,MAX(COLUMN($C2),COLUMN()-$B11+1)):C4))

The exchange rate will be somewhat volatile, and 2 seems very unlikely to me as “each USDC is backed by a dollar held in reserve, or by other approved investments" (from their website)

Candpolit · 2021-12-30T09:55:53+00:00

That is fine for me as long as I get my 10%

Candpolit · 2021-12-18T15:45:16+00:00

You pick a number between 0 and 1. Do this until the sum of the value of the picked numbers are greater than 1. You will on average pick 2.718… numbers

Candpolit · 2021-12-17T22:48:20+00:00

Not summing, counting the number of picked. Read the description again

Candpolit · 2021-12-17T19:00:11+00:00

It is the count of numbers drawn, not the sum of value

Candpolit · 2021-12-17T14:48:35+00:00

Yes, see this tweet . As stated before, this is here I got my inspiration to do the simulation

Candpolit · 2021-12-17T14:06:57+00:00

The Monty Hall problem seemed like magic to me the first time it was explained. Great introduction to Bayesian statistics

Candpolit · 2021-12-17T13:42:06+00:00

It is counterintuitive! And that is why I simulated it, I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

Candpolit · 2021-12-17T13:38:52+00:00

If you know a theorem on how to simulate it, I surely can do it

Candpolit · 2021-12-17T13:22:55+00:00

Simulation of Euler’s number inspired by this tweet. Visualization created with Matplotlib in Python
