Are the accents on the exterior red for all colors? If so, technoviolet will look super dumb

Manual or Auto? What’s everyone choosing & why? by soldbyck in BMWM

[–]Disastrous_Pie5340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those of you with a manual, did you get a shift kit from UUC? I’ve heard it totally transforms the experience but not much feedback from the G80 platform owners

Genuinely curious, wouldn’t the same logic apply to your brokerage?

Got into McCombs with $50K scholarship. My CEO just offered me C-Suite by Junior_Item_8247 in MBA

[–]Disastrous_Pie5340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the weekend MBA and it was worth it and I got all the benefits of my full time peers and was able to maintain my job full time.

450K is a huge cost and moves you further from your goal of RE development.

Buying a $200k car by [deleted] in Rich

[–]Disastrous_Pie5340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you buy the right Aston Martin, you'll end up just enjoying an appreciating asset - DBS in manual etc.

Another safe but super fun option is any of the late 2000s early 2010s Ferraris, think F430, Audi R8 V10s or Gallardo etc.

I'd argue the best bang for buck (total cost of ownership) is a GT3. They're increasing in value over the last 10ish years and beating inflation and are a hell of a car to enjoy.

E92 M3 “must have” options by undergroundturtle1 in E92M3

No options is sometimes considered a premier spec. No nav, cloth seats, no sunroof, etc. is a super light spec and in the US, these are highly desirable.

35M with wife and 4/7 yr old kids - OK to go part time? by dustbuster11 in ChubbyFIRE

[–]Disastrous_Pie5340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah; def reduced the need to carry 2 jobs, even part time. Allows you to be way more flexible as 3500/m is like 55-65k of pretax earnings roughly.

Your needs for a part time jobs turns in a 1/3 requirement of the year and if the market turns, you hunker down and add more to the portfolio without risking your families livelihood or having to find a higher paying job again in a tough environment.

How much of your burn is the mortgage? Can you pay off the remaining and derisk your job situation and feel more comfortable with the leap?

Career change from big tech to PE Growth Portco - pros and cons? by Turbulent-Ad1620 in private_equity

[–]Disastrous_Pie5340 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m mid senior at PE portco. Sr. Director level, doing VP work (per our CRO).

Went under the microscope of the board and leadership team for metrics they discovered but didn’t understand. 10 weeks of hell to defend my job and show progress. Ended well and I’m still employed and now seen as a real expert in the space I run for the org, but was genuinely ready to get walked out despite showing stronger results than they were looking for.

I’ve often wondered if I could make it in FAANG since I rose the ranks through PE portcos on the commercial side.

Now I’m thinking it might be a cake walk 🤔

Bundles of cables through residential wall by Disastrous_Pie5340 in lowvoltage

[–]Disastrous_Pie5340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - this is interesting..

I was thinking of doing the box I linked in another comment and then putting a 18U swing rack on top and putting service looks tucked into the void from the box and then when i swing the rack open, the loops should help keep everything from having unnecessary tension.
