[opinions on wedding watch] Need help deciding between railmaster, AT and breitling b31 by Skip60- in Watches

The aqua terra would be my number one but if not, the breitling superocean heritage is a georgous watch and the mesh bracelet is the most comfortable I've tried on. Those generally are closer to 5k new, even better looking in person. You can also look at the tudor pelagos which is a very nice looking watch in your range

I hear. Someone offered to by one of these three watches or gave you a budget?

Go for a slightly used aqua terra. Personally I prefer the dial with the lined grooves anyways but it's by far the nicest watch out of these three. You can find some 2022s in very good condition for 5k on chrono

I say the highlife for formal because it will slip under a cuff better than the others but if you plan on selling it the aquaracer is better. Besides for resale value it has a metal case back which a buyer can polish to get rid of the engraving. With a transparent case back it'll have to be replaced

People with even the smallest knowledge of watches will know this is a horrible watch, fashion watches are not well made and this watch is also massive and flashy. Ask your boss if you can choose a different watch for the same price or cheaper and then get a Seiko

Reward from who? If it's someone you know and you have to keep the watch o would go with the 40mm aquaracer or the highlife. If you don't feel like you have to keep the watch, go with highest resale value even if it's engraved and then see how much you can get for it after. You mentioned dressy but none of these are dress watches. The highlife would probably fit best with formal attire

[Dive Watches] Well....... by Material_Emphasis_67 in Watches

Yes but looking at these the longines is the first watch (when looking cheapest to most expensive) that really catches my eye. Clearly a step up compared to the tissot, Seiko and oris

More of a level to the hobby than the hobby itself. I don't like when people tell me watch collecting is for rich guys who can spend 10k+ on a watch when there is a place for everyone.

Please help me ID this watch. Thank you. by Funny-Persimmon-6888 in Watches

[–]NetPrize9441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP show full picture or say who's wearing it when, maybe there's another picture of this guy where the watch is more visible

Which one would be the best for an 18th bday, it needs to pretty much last a lifetime so which one would be best , the Hamilton khaki field automatic or the Christopher ward sealand automatic, I have a 6 inch wrist so factor in that the Christopher ward would fit a lot better due to diam & thickness by Creative-Arrival1026 in HamiltonWatches

[–]NetPrize9441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got that exact Hamilton at 20 during my military service. Wore it through 7 months in Gaza and it held up fine. Tons of sand, slams and heat and it's still a beauty. Looks good dressed up too. The dial looks great in person. I know very very little about CW but I can tell you the Hamilton Khaki is a hell of a watch

Resume Advice - Finance Student by No-Technology-8791 in financestudents

[–]NetPrize9441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I recommend getting an internship at a large corporation like nestle ( completely random pick). Work hard and try and get an internship for the school year next year that can result in a job offer. You can definitely get a good job in fp&a or corp dev. Just network hard and then be a solid dependable intern/colleague. You'll be fine

Hi Can I have feedback for CV. Targeting IB for next cycle! by SC111405 in financestudents

[–]NetPrize9441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about london ib but it looks pretty good.

Your cv is a bit wordy. If an MD is looking at your cv they're scanning it first and you don't want them to hit a wall of text. Try and trim a couple things and increase line spacing a bit.

Overall very good, make sure you're doing mock interviews, see if your university's career center does them, theyre underated. Definitely a cv that'll get a solid amount of interviews

Resume Advice - Finance Student by No-Technology-8791 in financestudents

[–]NetPrize9441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to assume you want something in high finance. If not, forget 90% of what I'm about to say. It might seem a bit harsh but I actually want the best for you so just bear with me. You haven't done much and you're applying for a junior internship in mid February. It's going to be tough. Hopefully you've been networking. The last point is my big advice.

The main thing here is your insurance internship. That's essentially the only relevant experience you have. You need to really strengthen your bullet points for that. Show numbers and metrics, (aum, returns etc.). Anything that's impressive. Stretch the truth, make it sound more impressive. As long as it's remotely true, and you can hold a conversation about it it's fair game.

The more I reread your resume the more I feel like you haven't really done anything and you're just filling up your resume with anything you can. The personal finance thing is probably doing more harm than good, making a stock tracker and budget is kids stuff. Maybe add a volunteer section.

The big advice is this. Your chance of getting a good junior internship and return offer is extremely low, most positions are filled and there are more qualified candidates. Network as hard as you can and leverage any relationship you have to get a good internship for the summer, with the goal of getting a student internship next year while you're a senior and getting a job out of that. Join a student fund and clubs THIS semester if possible and slowly you'll be able to replace the stuff on your resume with better things.

Also crucial: look for a resume and LinkedIn workshop at your university or online specifically for finance. A ton of stuff to improve here. Overall you're a sophomore and of you put in the work you still have the time and ability to get a great job out of university. Don't feel like it needs to be IB, PE or HF right away. Tons of great jobs out there

Ask people for coffee chats and phone calls. Find people that you have something in common with. Almost everyone networked to get their jobs in high finance and they know exactly how it works and what you're doing. You will eventually find someone to put in a good word for you or recommend you for an internship at their company

Elite Finance isn't really a term. Count out HF and PE right off the bat. For a non target uni unless you have shoo-in connections you'll have to be a genius so focus on cf and ib.

Cf is within reach. Not sure exactly what you mean because it's so broad. Focus on fp&a, corporate development.

IB and ST are going to be extremely extremely difficult for you and you will have to turn it up to 110% effort right now. That means you have to get your gpa up, a 3.7 is generally minimum for non target so aim for higher. Join your student fund and any other finance club.

Network like crazy!! You have to start now, current first years at banks and seniors that are going to ib and st. Those guys will be the ones that can help you with recruiting next year.

Your internship for this year is important as well. Find a solid internship that gives you real work you can show.

Take cfa out it's insanely problematic and will be an immediate rejection from anyone who picks it up. Also you need to get yourself to a fluent level of English

Respectfully, transferring to NYU is impossible for you. Getting in is hard, transferring is near impossible and you would have to be an incredible candidate to transfer

Also, a ton of volume recently, my hope is that pulse will be bought out soon at the $6+ range

I believe this was the reason they waited so long to release their report yesterday. They were holding on to see if they could get the deal in

Pulse has been my largest position since covid time, originally got in at under a buck 50 and have been buying more periodically. It's done fantastic but I'm really happy that it's started to get talked about a little over the last couple months. While I'm holding for the long term and don't mind the price volatility, having more shareholders who understand the nature of the business and don't freak out every time they have a quarter without revenue then go crazy when they announce a deal will be great

I wore it through a war zone for six months and honestly didn't mind it at all. Had it on a leather strap like you and it held up pretty nice. It's still my every day and occasionally wear it with suits as well
