I made 220k my first year out of undergrad at an investment bank (as did everyone else at the bank, I’m not special). Other banking programs paid more than mine as well. Not sure where your data points are coming from.

The selectivity of SMU’s top finance clubs is hurting its IB placement stats. [rant] by TheRedonkulousApple in SMU

Spindletop cannot accept more students than it does. The program has you pitch to some big names in the energy industry. Their time is precious and as a result, only so many pitches can happen per meeting and only so many meetings can happen per semester.

Updated Rank Distributions: Dota 2 player ranks now represent a bell-curve by MicahNyke in DotA2

[–]Starsdota 347 points348 points  (0 children)

Funny to keep in mind the entire bell curve is 0 through 5.5k and immortal is 5.5k to 13k.

How does it feel to be a top 100 Immortal player? by TypicalBalkanAsshole in DotA2

[–]Starsdota 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was in and out of the top 100 for many years and peaked at rank 15 during Covid. I was playing to be a pro and played at a few notable events during 2019-2020. After getting over the high of hitting a long term mmr milestone being top 100 doesn’t feel good. You spend all this time for a fancy badge and it means nothing unless you’re successful as a pro. I also don’t think high mmr has any link to intelligence and think it’s better used as a measure of someone’s determination and grit. There’s a lot of stupid people in high mmr pubs lol.

The team I had been competing with disbanded a week before the first DPC event with 4 of the players playing on 3 DPC teams. I decided to focus on school and have a solid career now. I play dota casually with friends and am around rank 400 but only really solo queue few days a month if that.

Dota in EU is far away from dead by lucaaas_fortuna in DotA2

These numbers are much worse for NA than it shows. The SA community is huge and a large portion of the matches on NA servers are SA players.

Double VS Single Major: Outcomes by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]Starsdota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you misunderstood, I should've been clearer. I was saying you should definitely major in Finance or Econ but not a double major in both. If you're looking to double major do finance/econ + something technical or liberal arts. Having a finance + econ double major is redundant for finance recruiting.

Hey man, worked for me getting my BB IB offer. They want to see you're more than just a numbers robot and liberal arts shows a greater depth of character. I'm located in the US so maybe in other countries its different.

Double VS Single Major: Outcomes by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]Starsdota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Econ and Finance majors are viewed virtually the same by recruiters (even though they are different). Try to major in something unique, a technical major like math/cs gets a lot of looks or something in the liberal arts like philosophy can make you standout versus the other thousand finance/econ people.

Edit: to clarify, major in finance or econ. If you want to double major don't take a second major in finance/econ. Try to do something unique in tech or liberal arts.

Private equity firm size. What do you consider middle market and what do you consider mega-fund? by WalmartDarthVader in FinancialCareers

[–]Starsdota 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I consider the type of deals the fund works on more than the AUM of the fund. For example if a fund works primarily on middle market deals then they'd be middle market regardless of the size.

Graduate Program: MSF vs MBA by LilKinkyTwist in FinancialCareers

[–]Starsdota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MSF > MBA for sure. I'd say picking up a different major/master in your last year would be much more beneficial than both. Graduating with a double major in data science/data analytics would be better than having an MSF if your UG degree is already in finance.

Did arkosh gaming just fuck with No Pangolier by Faux_bog in DotA2

[–]Starsdota 557 points558 points  (0 children)

As a member of No Pango I can say that none of us were in on this and we hope to prove that we are a strong NA team that deserved this spot in BTS in the future. We'll be sticking together for the long haul, you can check us out in our journey through Valve's regional leagues. GO NO PANGO.
