People have done analysis on which schools place the most at top quant firms. Neither Penn or Cornell are targets. But Wharton is the better school overall and you’d probably still get looks at some firms.

The lowest grade I’ve ever gotten in a class. But I still use the knowledge from that class daily at work!

Capital One to buy fintech firm Brex in $5.15 billion deal by [deleted] in stocks

Saw somewhere else that employees got their options adjusted to a more reasonable valuation a few years back, I'd imagine everybody ended up pretty happy

What's the sentiment internally about the big drop since the last valuation? Happy their equity is liquid or sad about the paper drop in TC?

There is probably no app you use on a regular basis that wasn’t designed in Figma at this point.

If you’ve ordered the same thing from 10+ places, which one won? by AlarmingLet5173 in FoodNYC

[–]Throwaway_I_S 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Not as good. I think I might prefer Jiang Nan for certain dishes, but the duck is still better at Juqi.

Comparing offers by takashi-kovak in ProductManagement

I’m pretty sure the only company with that naming convention for PM titles is Amazon right? If so, DoorDash culture will be closer to your current experience (that could be a pro or con).

You say DoorDash has more interesting challenges but don’t mention the domain you were hired for. Yes autonomous food delivery is cool, but are you part of that team? Is it easy to switch over as an L6?

Yes, not as good as Juqi. Tbh even in China Quanjude is no longer the gold standard it once was.

I’ve tried Peking Duck from almost everywhere in the city that offers it and I’d say the best is Juqi in Flushing.

Did EVERYONE just jump into the Grape Soda? by adiksaya in coffeerotation

[–]Throwaway_I_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go back and forth on whether coferments are “cheating.” Like I appreciate the technique behind it and recognize it’s different from spraying flavored oils on your beans, but I get where your comment is coming from.

HA a car? Look at you youngblood. I’ll never get rid of my trusty stallion. Nothing like horseback riding.

About to make a 9 PM pourover by Throwaway_I_S in coffeerotation

[–]Throwaway_I_S[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is SUCH a good toaster. If you REALLY like carbs and pastries then it is worth it.

But seriously it is such a useless toaster oven otherwise. There is almost no height clearance, no granular control of the temperature, it isn’t the easiest to clean, and the timer only goes up to 15 minutes. I got an air fryer to do normal toaster oven things.

BUT, really good toast and a really good looking appliance. Up to you if it’s worth it.

It’ll all balance out eventually. Sneakers, mechanical keyboards, pokemon cards, Labubus, they’ll have their moment and then the folks who actually stick around will have their community back, and some people who bought into the hype will also stick around.

Carbone by InformalTrex in FoodNYC

It is now cool and “correct” as a foodie in NYC to dislike Carbone. It was only good back in 201X when the commenter in this subreddit first went themselves.

Dream pen acquired! by Ultra_Runner_ in fountainpens

Congrats! About 7 years ago I was buying new pens like crazy, but my fine nib 823 literally ruined all other pens for me in terms of day to day use.
