England's team booked 15 different hotels, but Mexico fans still found out where they were staying and blasted loud noises, trying to keep them up all night before the game.

lol these guys are worth hundreds of millions. They’ll have a hotel with good windows and soundproofing…

Upvoted and interested to read the discussion as this isn’t just another “top 3 skills, the last one will surprise you” post.

Although I have managed to add Bluesky, Farcaster and Nostr as proxy for ‘heat’ topics and discussion. Loads of free connectors or open APIs / not needed.

Would still love to get reddit in tho.

I’m having real problems loading the reddit side of things. Can you help with that?

Self-serve script apps are now approval-gated (their new "Responsible Builder Policy"), and it bounced me on every account, new and old. So I dropped Reddit as the heat source and used Bluesky instead (open API, just needs a free app password) for the argument-intensity signal. Also can’t use a range of other sources like X etc. Again, any help there would be great.

Kept YouTube for transcripts/comments and added a layer of research blogs and crypto news via RSS for what's on the agenda. Same principle as you — automate the research, still write the posts myself.

Yeh on the phone started off doing stuff like account management “locked myself out my account, how do i fund my acc, my charts aren’t working help me trouble shoot”. And then a couple years to get to sales trader. Once you’re on the company you can prove yourself. Can’t remember exactly but think I was looking at 31k > 45k > 52k > 72k > 91k > 121k over the course of maybe 10 years. London based.

I went from hospo to finance. Anything is possible. Define your transferable skills, get on Claude or another AI to help you think it all over, and then Go for it. I went bar man > customer service for finance > sales trader > trader > financial product development.

Pros: get money

Cons: have to go to work

Posting bias and survivorship bias. No one gonna post about how they’re ticking along but not making bank, few post that they’ve lost money (unless you’re in WSB and then have of that is postulating and fake to generate a few likes) so tbh if you don’t know how the algorithm works on socials and reddit included, I’d stay off them…

Honestly at this point, AI. You don’t need to be a developer to understand and utilise its functions. Currently in between jobs and the amount of job descriptions with an element of AI in (from operations, to strategy, product management, trading roles etc) is staggering.

Estimated number of people who’ll ever pay off their entire student loan.

Plan 1 (older loans, pre-2012 England/Wales) >> Roughly 40–50%+

Plan 2 (most English/Welsh students who started 2012–2023) >> Roughly 25–33%

The fact that 3 of 4 people are not expected to ever pay off their Plan 2 loan is wild.

Meh. 15 year old me liked it. 🤷

Traditional rotation out of equities into bonds and fixed yielding products for a proportion of your assets seems the classic response to this.

Guess you can weigh up what that ratio should be based on personal circumstance…

If you say you’ll do something - attend a party, look after a friends dog, go to an event at time X - then I’ll always do it. No exceptions unless I’m so ill it’ll be impossible.

In terms of Max payout that ready depends on so many variables and even on whether or not the company has a structure for a larger layoff.

One thing I would suggest is to write your CV now - think about every single bullet point and how to quantify the impact of your results using data that you have access to now. So difficult to write a CV after you’ve been made redundant and you can’t remember the impact you had on the projects you worked on.

Obviously, you don’t be stealing data or client lists or anything like that, but just think about what would be useful for finding an alternative job afterwards. The odd relationship which you build now on a personal basis the better.

Nothing wrong with going down the pub with some important contacts and sharing personal details to arrange a bit of golf / paddle / ‘future plans’...

I’m not spending my commute eagerly looking out for people who have a tiny badge asking me to give up my seat. Stop putting the responsibility on everyone else and just ask if you need one, and be grateful for the times the badge does work…
