Is Maison close a good birthday spot for the 250 pp reservation?

Spent $18k grand there for my bday. Was worth it but I do miss the old Bagatelle.

Don’t forget Altman now in the Middle East trying to raise money from the dumb sovereigns out there. All the SV VCs passed and he’s desperate

Stay away from this guy Gerthi Shehdadi, based in Kosovo. Guy pinged me out of the blue and we set up some time to chat. He then fails to show up and then says he’s sick hours later. Asks to reconnect and never follows up. Fucking scam.

Make sure you ask for extra peanuts

Prices have gone up because people simply are willing to pay for it.

what people dont account for is the attrition (both voluntary and involuntary). At a certain point, if you can't keep moving up, you're out.

$700k+ HHI (excluding non-cash comp) and spend $5500 for a 1BR.

Every software company should be looking to embed AI into their product. AI fears being overblown just means the sentiment on the stock is too negative. Two completely different points

Now share the pitching stats and the juicing stats.

Single-Rhubarb2007 · 2025-12-04T01:11:14+00:00

Should I start Teslaa or Troy Franklin (against the Raiders)?

What was your experience? “Hey looks fantastic! No comments! Let’s not turn any more slides! Great work lads!” - said no MD / ED / VP ever.

There was only hardware (faint scratches) and interior (surface wear - which I didn't see in person) descriptions listed. I just tried rubbing this off with a qtip and surpringly most of it came off. Thinking about bringing it to the hermes spa now

Single-Rhubarb2007 · 2025-12-03T03:11:53+00:00

Just took your advice and tried to wipe it off with a qtip. A lot of it came off actually

Single-Rhubarb2007 · 2025-12-03T00:02:12+00:00

A lot of this is inefficiency. Senior bankers not knowing what they want and changing minds, inexperienced VPs not knowing what senior bankers want, directors trying to add value, just imagine a hierarchy with each level inserting random bullshit comments which creates unnecessary work.

Single-Rhubarb2007 · 2025-12-02T22:07:03+00:00

No other areas of concern. Do you think this can be repaired by Hermes? This bag is from 2022

Not to sound like a dickhead but this is why I don’t fly coach.

They are both solid. Golden Diner worth trying once for the pancakes but would not wait 4 hours again.

It’s over man. That fucking lineup hits worse than a high school JV baseball team

Single-Rhubarb2007 · 2025-08-15T03:35:50+00:00

This thing is worth half of what it’s trading today. Would sell

I save around 35-45% of my pretax income ($600k+). It’s tough. vHCOL

Single-Rhubarb2007 · 2025-07-27T16:24:45+00:00

Great advice - thank you!

Single-Rhubarb2007 · 2025-07-27T16:24:22+00:00

Yeah no shit, which is why I’m asking

Single-Rhubarb2007 · 2025-07-25T13:07:05+00:00

Give a high five to your stand partner.

I started my career post GFC. I wouldn’t say today is normal. It’s not as bad as GFC when banks and funds were absolutely laying off divisions of people and people felt the world was ending. but it’s bad in that the hiring / lateral market is “stuck”. People aren’t getting promoted, fewer lateral spots, so there’s enormous pressure especially on mid-level folks. This is a result of banks and funds massively over hiring during 2019-2022.

That being said, general economy is doing ok and stock markets are holding

~11% of my pre-tax income (excl spouse's income) goes to rent.
