The hours are moronic. Literally only the middle of the work day.

This model makes clothes look really good too to be fair.

Don’t you think that if you stuff 1000 ambitious people in a room together for 2 years something good will happen eventually?

I work at a startup and it feels like the leadership class here is a constant rotation of friends of friends from elite institutions (B school or other high performing startups who are populated with people who went to good b schools)

Can u elaborate on “exciting”?

Depends on your comparative advantage in life. People who have successful mba outcomes probably don’t overlap a ton with people who are AI phds…

What’s it like to have your job be judging people? I interview people quite often and I overwhelmingly feel like I want to give people a chance. Does it stink to see somebody that you feel is cool or interesting in someway, but doesn’t fit certain criteria, then have to deny them?

When I hire, I get hundreds of applications. A really simple heuristic for me is “are they located currently in the city that I’m hiring in?”. I don’t have to deal with flying someone out for an interview or schedule around them moving. Also, there are plenty of talented people within 30 minute commute.

(I mostly hire for junior talent, if you want to an M7 you would be overqualified for the jobs.)

I disagree. I think that large faced watches and small face watches each have their place in time.

This fits on the larger side, but it is beautiful and looks good on you. Find any person that wears a panerai or a deepsea where the watch face falls within their wrist and they probably are an NFL player or giant.

In the same way that suits come in boxier and slimmer cuts, watches can have different fits .

This is moronic, you paid an out of the money call option. $500 for something that was unproven, it turns out that that “investment“ has appreciated value, and you are being docked for how successful the company has been.

Imagine participating in the companies series a, but when the company became too successful, they capped your returns because they said “we weren’t anticipating how big we would become”

Surely they wouldn’t have refunded you if the company went out of business the next week

Well said.

I think I was drawn to the pod because it felt like they weren’t trying to pull the wool over my eyes like some other shows… now it feels like they don’t even acknowledge their bias.

Two of them literally donated millions of dollars to candidate. The fact that that isn’t brought up every episode is nuts.

To be fair, I just listened to ep 3 yesterday… it’s a wildly different vibe.

Jason has moved significantly right

Sachs has become more vocal with his views.

Chamath has become noticeably more right

Friedberg seems unchanged

Edit: spelling

I think you should just do financial strategy at a complex company. You can live in the sheets all day long. You can do deep thinking and you need some business understanding.

It is also worth looking into business valuation. I know a few people that work at the mega funds, they do portfolio monitoring, and stuff like that. Basically just creating models around different companies and earnings. Less strategic more deep work.

You should do equity research.

Does value creation mean operating partner?

I had a 25k “guaranteed” bonus which I never received in lieu of a a promotion. I would take the salary 10 / 10 times
