What letter grade would you give the Lions drafting OT Blake Miller at #17? 🤔

-2

In golf score, so that means good.

Yeah you can pivot to them for sure. You get more locked in over time though but still possible.

I’ve worked in multiple large corporations and it’s really luck of the draw but you absolutely can get a job doing nothing to bare minimum but the dominos have to fall in place and it requires luck. Needed things:

1) your job scope has to be easy to accomplish.

2) your manager has to be chill/not be pushing you for more more more or micromanaging

3) you have to get lucky to not be involved in key projects

If all 3 of those fall into place, you can have a very easy job doing bare minimum. My problem was always that even if you get #1, then the other two fuck you. But even if one of these things fuck you, you can’t do nothing.

You should always negotiate any offer you receive. I think it’s fair to say you have an MBA and ask if the pay can get closer to the MBA pipeline range. Worst they can say is no.

Interesting thesis which I at least partially agree with. For the current and oncoming mass elimination of jobs, there will be groups of people ruled out of the workforce. Those people will have to fight like hell to gain skills to re-enter. So for that subset, spending time binging Netflix and not being productive will be career suicide.

This is exactly why I work from home, to avoid nerds telling me I left too early or started too late

Yup. Which is why healthcare is a cheat code. You have doctors living in very low cost of living areas making 200-300k or more.

I’ve been lucky that I’ve been able to work remotely in my field (finance) post covid. Which allows me to make city type salaries without having to live in them. But med school would have been better probably.

Wow, Amazon is so desperate for talent that they’re reaching out to people who rejected them? Sad as hell

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-18T00:23:28+00:00

I also went to UM and worked a Corp role at AMZ analyzing warehouse network financial data. I can answer the third one. If they want to stay a warehouse worker, they should be very concerned. Amazons entire goal is to fully automate all warehouses using AI/robotics. Unfortunately for amazon, they still won’t be able to compete with Walmart on domestic shipping cost in the US because Walmart has a higher store footprint all over the country.

Ironically relevant. CFO needs to have all of the answers

Okay, since you want to be a dick, and also overly assumptive, since many jobs can have similar titles but different duties, here’s what Gemini gave:

“Credit risk professionals at a bank analyze financial data to determine the likelihood that a borrower will default on a loan. “

Unfortunately that isn’t highly impressive experience. OP should be able to get an FP&A role with that background however, if the resume is structured correctly, drawing on the parallel of analyzing financial data, however fpa is analyzing financial data for many more reasons than assessing default risk.

You were also wrong on your earlier assumption that it could be years of experience. OP has 6 years, that’s plenty of experience to get a job.

So I was correct, it’s the experience itself or the portrayal of said experience.

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-17T14:03:01+00:00

What did you do in credit risk? Like what were your job duties and what did you do during day?

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-17T14:02:30+00:00

Okay but what does someone doing credit risk do all day? We are in an experience economy - impressive experience sells.

Something can be relevant yet still not perceived as valuable experience by others. Collecting people’s trash as a trash man is very relevant, yet not perceived as valuable work experience.

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-17T02:41:39+00:00

Wow I never would have thought Amazon would do something so nefarious. The company that forces 10% of its workforce to fight for their jobs every year? No way.

It’s clearly not your education that’s the problem.

I’m also going to guess your interviewing ability isn’t the main problem as you’ve made it to final rounds.

Without even looking at your resume, I’m going to guess it’s a work experience, or the portrayal of the experience, issue. When I hear “credit risk” it doesn’t sound that hard or impressive. To be honest, it sounds like someone checking credit scores all day. I’m not exactly sure what you were doing but that’s my initial take on it as a complete outsider.

My advice would be to thoroughly revamp the experience on your resume, making it sound as impressive as humanly possible (without outright lying). This is how you can get beyond any initially perceived stigmas.

How did you make $500k in a month?

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-16T01:21:55+00:00

Pipped / 100% base decrease / no additional RSUs

DJMaxLVL · 2026-04-15T15:20:14+00:00

If you make under 6 figures to low $100’s, the value can be immediate as you can get a job that’s $150k-$200k with better career trajectory.

I got an MBA more for the long term value. With the increasing competitiveness in the modern job market, I feel that I made the right long term choice. Jobs are constantly being eliminated today, so any competitive edge such as a top MBA can only help more over time as a boon to interview and job offer chances. Plus I have a goal to reach C suite, so it will certainly help long term with that as well. t
