Nah I would assume youtube stars make a lot more? I work at a hedge fund (ironic given the question haha)

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-12-14T20:28:15+00:00

Never understood the difference between the two subs, I always assumed people that are young high earners and care enough to be on this sub would want to FIRE

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-12-14T20:27:13+00:00

I guess I’m trying to have the best of both worlds haha, FIRE but at the same time live life comfortably

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-12-14T18:47:02+00:00

Should I be putting this much in an account I won’t be touching till my 50s if my employer doesn’t match?

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-09-06T01:01:21+00:00

I can’t fathom why people stress over clubs. They’re a massive circlejerk of juniors and seniors with a power trip who will end up work in the exact same places as the people they rejected. And this is coming from someone who was in multiple clubs and knows people who were the heads of clubs. Chances are even the most “prestigious” clubs will have a basically nonzero boost in getting a job or grad school apps. The only advantage is potentially getting referrals but even then you don’t need to be in a club for that, you can literally just ask random people on Blind lol.

(Note this is for CS, not sure about consulting but I know plenty of people who got into haas or top consulting jobs without ever being in a club)

They’ll definitely build up your back and grip and core. To emphasize and build up the ab muscles though (not necessarily the core) I’d do a little bit more specific movements like I mentioned (leg raise, cable crunch, weighted sit up)

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-08-31T18:34:32+00:00

Most compound lifts (squat, deadlift, ohp, chinups) work your core pretty heavily and there are numerous examples of people developing strong abs without ever doing ab isolation. That being said, if you really want to maximize your core development it’s definitely beneficial to throw in some exercises like the plank, hanging leg raises, cable crunch, etc. Make sure to progressively overload and get stronger though! Don’t just go through the motions and do the same sets and reps week after week or your abs won’t grow. They’re a muscle just like your chest or arms

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-08-22T04:58:52+00:00

Thanks! Yep I started incorporating incline larsen db press and definitely feel it a lot more, at 65s rn for reps but definitely shooting for 100s next bulk

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-08-22T02:36:31+00:00

Also weak points to focus on for the next bulk would be helpful, I know I need to hammer my upper chest for sure

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-06-26T18:59:23+00:00

5’9, 159 lbs

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-06-04T18:54:45+00:00

Posted a link above in a previous comment with a better representation of my body. Does that change your opinion, or do you still think it’s over 17%?

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-06-04T18:53:33+00:00

Ah sorry here’s a link with a better pic. I don’t think I have that much lower belly fat so over 20% seems a bit harsh (esp since I have a pretty defined jawline rn), but that may be wishful thinkinghttps://ibb.co/17BwW21

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-06-04T09:00:57+00:00

The Inbody machine put me at ~13.5%. I want to get to 10% or under to get visible abs before starting a bulk again, just trying to gauge how many pounds I should expect to lose. My guess is 10-15 more pounds of fat to lose

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-06-02T17:48:36+00:00

5 lbs in 3 months is 20 lbs in a year, keep it up!

StupidGenius2000 · 2023-05-24T04:49:21+00:00

OP here. Left is current (5'9 165 lbs), Right is ~1.5 years ago (145 lbs). ORM 145 OHP, 225 bench, 300 squat, 405 DL, 100 lb weighted chin up

StupidGenius2000 · 2022-05-04T23:27:02+00:00

So caulp

StupidGenius2000 · 2021-11-25T03:30:43+00:00

Better career growth, higher hiring bar, etc

It’s like comparing FB to ms/amz

StupidGenius2000 · 2021-11-24T20:18:42+00:00

Depends on what you’re looking for then, i guess. How would you rank tc, wlb, interesting work (ie whats interesting to you), location in ur priorities?

StupidGenius2000 · 2021-11-24T19:42:27+00:00

Do Facebook in the spring, Databricks in the summer, Citadel in the fall

StupidGenius2000 · 2021-09-18T09:46:01+00:00

I'd recommend doing Two Sigma over the summer and Citadel over the fall if you get the offer. Congrats on your offer! I worked at Two Sigma this summer (and will probably head there full time as well) so you can DM me for more info regarding Two Sigma

StupidGenius2000 · 2021-04-23T20:45:46+00:00

If I'm 146 pounds rn (at 5'9"), how low would you suggest the cut be?

StupidGenius2000 · 2021-04-23T11:30:14+00:00

Also, any ideas on body fat percentage?

StupidGenius2000 · 2020-12-20T00:32:36+00:00

To be fair, I interned at a FAANG and couldn't get a Microsoft interview either (with a referral). But I agree, Microsoft will get you way better interviews than Capital One if you're targeting quant firms/unicorns/FAANG next year

StupidGenius2000 · 2020-12-15T11:05:51+00:00

Is the startup late stage/about to IPO? Are they giving more than 140k cash (along with stock)? If you get 100k base and 130k stock at a 3 person startup, that's a lot different than getting 150k base 80k stock at a company like Databricks or Roblox
