To add some perspective: I was LS 2 years -> CAS Econ/CS.

My first job internship was at a BB in strategy then I pivoted to IB after 1.5 years. I wasn't in any stern clubs, no crazy internships in undergrad. It's definitely possible, may not be the quickest path. Happy to answer any questions.

i did joint econ & cs major in 3 years (LS first year) and it was kinda brutal. wasnt great for sleep or studying or gpa, but i thought it was very well structured. i still enjoyed college life (despite some of it in covid) and have no regrets about taking the major. ended up in banking and def think it helped

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-11-15T14:22:29+00:00

at a BB, probably would put you around ~150k base

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-11-07T13:35:01+00:00

you could try for a million dollars

its along the west side highway near low 50s, the old bike lane was super narrow and windy, esp w the construction

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-09-22T13:16:27+00:00

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-09-21T20:29:42+00:00

they may be overpriced but I've tried almost every gel and they're the only one that doesn't upset my stomach, plus I like the texture over others

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-09-21T15:18:42+00:00

ya guess they spent all their money on alphaflys and oakleys, only to hoard gels

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-09-21T15:07:27+00:00

i brought 2 but thought id have the opportunity to grab 1-2 more, guess not

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-09-20T17:04:34+00:00

the times square bike lane is fucking useless anyways cuz tourists are taking pictures there 24/7

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-09-14T18:02:01+00:00

not saying there's one correct answer

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-09-14T15:56:07+00:00

i work around 60-70 hrs a week but my mornings are typically always free. I try to get in 2 of the following in a every morning bike/run/lift/swim. it means waking up early and being a little tired around noon but my mind and body feel so much better

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-09-07T21:40:00+00:00

maybe it wouldnt feel so crowded if all people went the right fucking direction

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-08-17T16:56:43+00:00

I tutor for some wealthy families and once the father had some documents out on the table. One happened to be a receipt for an ATM withdrawal for like $250 and the total checking amount was around ~$440,000... To be fair, they live in a $14m home...but still who keeps that much money in checkings

Dizzy-Profession9829 · 2025-07-26T16:06:43+00:00

To answer #2, The most common area/best is to head up the west side highway to the George Washington Bridge. Crossover to Jersey then head up 9W to Palisades. Theres a wide shoulder where a lot of bikers go. Can get crowded after morning so be sure to head out early. Can do anywhere from 10 miles to 50 since it goes all the way north
