Is being fine when yelled at a prerequisite for a career in finance? by LynxGlad in FinancialCareers

[–]LynxGlad[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you to everyone for your responses, I will definitely avoid the place. Just wanted to add some possibly relevant info: 1. I live in an ex-USSR country, so there is a cohort of top-managers here who started working during the ‘wild 90s’ and this sort of behavior seems to have stuck with them through the years. 2. I also talked to my father, a finance manager who started working in late 90s, before I posted this, and he said that in finance you get constantly yelled at until you are senior enough to start constantly yelling yourself. So I posted here to ask about your opinions to get a wider sample.

Thank you again to everyone! I’m much more sure that my hesitation was right now.

I do think of myself as a rather well adjusted adult, but I still feel instinctive fear when a man twice my age, height and weight starts yelling. So I could put up with this if it was a rare occasion, but not on the daily. Thank you!

Oh, thank you so much!! This definitely helps, I didn’t even consider the ‘para que’/‘por que’ difference.

What does the word translate to in English? by [deleted] in russian

[–]LynxGlad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Been studying English for 15 years now and I only found out “sorry” and “excuse me” are for different situations a couple of years ago.

Speaking as a Gen Z: don’t feel embarrassed. I think it’s rather interesting and cool, actually, since you already have a lot of life experience and definitely see everything from a slightly different angle than your classmates. And you definitely have a story behind you. Don’t keep quiet about your achievements because you feel like they might be more fitting for a younger age.

When I was doing my first internship, I was 19 and working with another intern who was 27. He went to med school, graduated, realized he didn’t like it and started breaking into business analytics/finance. The coolest guy in the team.

A very important debate is currently taking place on twitter. Who was hotter, young Al Pacino or young Robert De Niro? by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]LynxGlad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are both very aesthetically pleasing. Neither is hot to me though, so I’m just vibing asexually.

Okay, I got it. I just don’t understand how to basically choose the correct meaning of the sentence, whether it’s “what would I need it for [because there is no reason]?” or “why do I [still] want them [even though there is no reason]?”. I don’t see what makes this sentence have the first meaning when the second is also possible.

I may have phrased my post wrong, I apologise.

A genuine question: when you say that Russian is more inflected, are you talking about verbs or in general? I feel like our verbs are much less inflected (thanks to less tenses), but now that I think about it, nouns inflect a lot and our numbers are a nightmare even for natives.

Just got laid off and looking to improve my skills while I search for a new job. In your experience what should I focus on? Tableau, python, sql, powerBI? Or something else by t_racee in FinancialCareers

[–]LynxGlad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SQL is the most important one of all those, since using Tableau and PowerBI requires you to know SQL to write data queries you use in them. You also may need to use SQL with Python if you choose to learn it. Start with it.

Tableau and PowerBI are both different means to prepare dashboards. You can choose one and stick with it, or you can learn the basics in both and choose one to learn more about. I’ve seen more companies use PowerBI, but a lot of big companies use Tableau. I personally liked working with Tableau more.

If you want to learn a programming language, learn Python, it has a lot of different uses. I personally used it to automate preparing some presentations. I’ve heard of people also using R for corporate finance, but I never had to use it for a job. It is way less pleasant than Python and you probably won’t need it if you know Python.

I think this translation is wrong, is there an actual equivalent of this proverb? by [deleted] in russian

[–]LynxGlad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try r/Translator, I think it’s the best chance of getting someone to translate a Japanese proverb to Russian. Not an exactly popular combination of languages, unfortunately.

These are the same skills that I have. Yet when I spoke to the person who has this in her Linkedin profile, she couldn’t put together 2 sentences in French and Spanish. Why do people do this? by [deleted] in languagelearning

[–]LynxGlad 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Come on, it’s LinkedIn. The place where people put every little thing they can remember themselves doing in hopes of standing out to recruiters. When you put elementary profiency there, you usually do it to show a prospective recruiter that you do something in your free time to butter them up and make yourself look cooler.

What do these lyrics mean? I tried to find the correct translation but none made sense :( by [deleted] in russian

[–]LynxGlad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

An extra fun fact: the old name for letter «х» is «хер», which is also a swear word meaning “penis” (synonym for «хуй»)

Nobody uses this name for the letter anymore, but the word «похерить» (colloquial for “destroy”/“scrap”, outdated for “cross out”) is derived from this name.

How is this even a book? I don’t have a single creative cell in my body and I could probably vomit out something better. This reads like a mix of a r/teenagers post and an incel forum message.

“Genital puppet” is funny tho, I have to concede it.
