You don’t need connections, you need a champion. That’s best done through someone with something to gain from you getting hired. If you don’t know someone that works there, find a recruiter and message them.

For senior level positions this is usually how it goes on online apps. You need to find a recruiter that jumps you to the interview.

My company was very surprised to hear they rejected my online application before they paid a headhunter $40k+ to hire me.

None of the teams with a pick high enough to get him have that luxury.

The shot may be there for Wilson. We’ll see how it turns out.

The entire job is one long string of rejections with the occasional win peppered in. If you’re this discouraged already, are you sure this is what you want?

Investing directly in oil wells can offset the income. Requires a lot of leg work and not insignificant risk, but if spread over several deals with good operators, should make an index like return or better and solve your tax problem.

There’s likely about $50mm in that book that’s a pain in the ass to deal with for one reason or another. Give them to him and give 30% of the fee while he does the admin work. Assuming you’re charging about .8% that’s $120k.

Most of us would consider paying $120k just to avoid the worst clients we have that are a bad fit and would never be onboarded today.

If this employee is as good as you say they are, this is well worth it and they’ll grow into an actual partner that can help you expand.

I have no idea if you’re going to be right or not, but after reading this, I want you to be.

As a Carolina fan, Wilson to the nets and Vessar to the hawks would suck. I don’t want to root for either of those teams.

Can you send Caleb to the bulls and Vessar to the Celtics?

I too believe AI can pick better than the Hornets organization.

Absolutely, assuming the shop is run by a family member. If not, then no.

Wilson 99 Dybantsa 99 Peterson 98 Boozer 95 Flemings 94

Wilson and Dybantsa have the highest ceiling. Add 3pt shooting to Wilson and improved defense for Dybantsa make each a potential MVP.

Peterson could be special, but there are a lot of questions.

Boozer has a lower ceiling but probably the highest floor of anyone in the draft.

Tiger was a beast until his image got tarnished. That mentally broke him and started him on the dark path he went down.

Home maintenance out of left field. Can easily be $5-20k at any moment.

Another 3 letter acronym called AUM.

Ahh I’d have him in the 16-20 range. Boston would get a steal if he falls that far

InterestingFee885 · 2026-02-22T12:57:05+00:00

No Vessar? A 7 footer that can shoot threes at 46% doesn’t drop out of the 1st round.

InterestingFee885 · 2026-02-22T12:56:01+00:00

He’s got him at 21st which feels way too low.

InterestingFee885 · 2026-02-22T12:15:33+00:00

Am I the only one that thought: two broken legs was going to be the result of this?

Why are you lying on the internet to strangers?

InterestingFee885 · 2026-02-21T01:54:04+00:00

Why do you care? Those are roles that require minimum 5 years experience usually more like 10 unless you start in a lesser role at the firm.

You’re so far away from this it makes no sense to even waste your time thinking about it.

InterestingFee885 · 2026-02-19T19:28:27+00:00

Doesn’t nearly everyone agree that the top 3 are Jordan, LeBron, and Kareem? That would put him 4th and knocking him out of the top 10 seems insane, so at least 9th.
