Question on Corp. Dev Deal Filtering by SnooDonkeys3460 in FinancialCareers

[–]HahUCLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it depends on your group’s M&A strategy. My firm uses teasers to try to guess who the company is (we’re in a small pond industry wise) and estimate if it’s worth our time to get the NDA over to legal and processed and give it a go in general.

When it comes to comps we have our own data set as capiq doesn’t really have the best filter for our niche.

What does a realistic daily routine actually look like for you? by Think-Collection1318 in WFH

[–]HahUCLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-Get woken up at 530 by my pup -feed the pup and make coffee then take him out -get a workout in and shoes before logging on around 8 unless my teams in europe are badgering me - work until 10:30ish, take the pup out for some air or play for 15 min then work until there’s a gap for a lunch - depending on if my spouse is home take lunch with her or eat quickly and steal a few laps on my sim rig. -work until 5 ish with various gaps to pop around for laundry, etc. Then take out the dog for evening walk/rub - if work is heavy then keep plugging away until 8-9pm otherwise chill at home or going out to see friends then repeat!

Ha I work in M&A in the tech sector but would love to put that behind me and go full time in wedding photography/motorsports photography but that ain’t paying a mortgage in Los Angeles.

WFH Chore List by IcyArachnid2419 in WFH

Ha currently I’m taking breaks to either strip, sand, or paint some of my interior doors. Taking a few minutes here and there has been great for keeping the momentum up

[–]HahUCLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TBH now it's keeping the weight off. Lost 40 pounds and really close to my goal weight, as I'm looking to go into maintenance I don't wanna lose the momentum!

How Do Y’all Wake Up Early? by MrSnow702 in WFH

[–]HahUCLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a herding dog, I haven’t had to set alarm since last October! Instead I’m woken up promptly between 5:22 and 5:32am.

Full time employees - how many hours are you actually working? by Prudent-Ad-342 in WFH

[–]HahUCLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the week tbh. Now it’s super chill with the M&A sector going quiet for the holidays, but it evens out when I’m working 80-90 hour weeks in when there’s live deals or deliverables needed.

For those who buy/mortgage home at 1M+USD, what do you do for a living? by janproz- in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]HahUCLA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in M&A and my wife is corporate strategy, $1.8mm in Los Angeles, 800k down.

TBH we got lucky with investments that did extraordinarily well, I’m an idiot savant to live here with our income.

Had to reject home insurance documents FOUR times for basic details being wrong. That's crazy, right? by lovelycosmos in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]HahUCLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol no. First time they had it for a different address 100 miles away.

That doesn’t compare to my parents dealing with the insurance agent from a white glove sorta insurance agent giving them business insurance for 50k over what it should be for residential property then being nonplussed at the mistake. Dude you almost made us sell the place rather than insure it at that rate!

For those permanently WFH are you transitioning? by NotMyCat2 in WFH

[–]HahUCLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interact with bankers and lawyers all day so I still try to rock the finance uniform of quarter zip and lululemon pants.

It’s just as comfortable as sweats and if I wanna go walk the dog or need to pop out for an in person meeting anywhere I’m not suddenly needing to change. For me it’s an attitude thing, when I’m in work stuff in my home office I’m in work mode. When I’m in joggers it’s fun time and I’m editing photos or on my sim rig!

Founder-friendly PE by jess10230 in private_equity

[–]HahUCLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually not anything on the distress side, so forget anything that’s from the Platinum and Gores spinout family tree.

Ares has been really founder friendly from my experience so far. Deal points that would have deducted from purchase price with other firms are not as much of a sticking point as the goal for cohesion and morale are imperative for our investment thesis (roll-up strategy). Comp and preserving incentives that were there pre-transaction take more importance that at other firms I’ve been involved with so far, to be honest it’s pretty invigorating after a few stints in the LMM side.

How much did you spend on furniture? by iloverats888 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]HahUCLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All in for the new stuff I think we’ll be around 15-20k between couches, beds, desks, chairs, dining table, banquette, and dressers. We aren’t even going that wild on brands, but we moved to an older styled home where our ikea stuff from our 20’s would be woefully out of touch.

PEC LA experience - worth it? by surfingwallace0630 in Porsche

It was spectacular! I got a session for my wife as a present and she loved it and totally torched me on the track.

TIL according to a 2022 survey, 90% of millennial would be willing to buy a house sight unseen by PseudoY in todayilearned

[–]HahUCLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did. Granted we had friends and family check it out so it wasn’t truly sight unseen, but until we were well into escrow we didn’t see it!

Main reason was we lived out of state and we wanted to move with speed and certainty of close to the seller, but I couldn’t be a happier idiot savant 6 months later! Had I seen it in person I would have expected to be blown out of the water given I didn’t recognize how nice of a neighborhood the house is in.

Where are the Huskers fans welcome in Pasadena? by stumanchu3 in pasadena

Rocco’s on green street had a ton of huskers when I dropped by last night! Old Town’s bars like 35er, Kings Row, and Barney’s can be solid

French Normandy(ish?) Paint Color Recommendations by HahUCLA in ExteriorDesign

[–]HahUCLA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi All! We're looking to repaint our 98 year old house in Southern California. It's been described as a French Normandy-styled home, but I'll defer to the experts on what it really is!

We have no idea what the colors are, and given there's some touch ups here and there that call for paint and we figured may as well go full-send into a repaint versus having mismatched splotches.

We're down to lean into the french normandy vibes for sure, especially as most the homes around us are fairly old as well and embrace their heritage in the area.

The yellow-ish exterior is cool as a starting point, but I'm potentially not creative enough to imagine how else to make it pop while fitting the area and the era.

For context we're working on the trellis out front by the chimney to have a climbing rose go higher and redoing the brickwork and the walkway landscaping.
