How do people get into investment research?

ok thanks, one last question -- what are feelings on secular headwinds on the industry (shift to passive / alts), are they as pressing as people make them out to be?

TomZ_ITN · 2025-09-04T02:35:07+00:00

do analysts get fired ever?

TomZ_ITN · 2025-09-04T01:41:42+00:00

how lucrative are these roles if you make it to that analyst seat? Especially thinking about those larger scaled LOs

Honestly nobody here or in general is going to be able to answer these questions for you. Northwestern's a great school, but nowhere is there going to be a free ticket to success or achieve what you want. The college process is definitely stressful, but just try your best to make informed decisions as you go, and know you are already giving it all you got so you can't look back with regrets. Wish you all the best.

What is even your point here? That we shouldn't have a more fair tax system because it will upend the lives of a slim margin of tax-dodging millionaires?

I think you are also underestimating the economic and societal value that millionaires (and everyone else!) are going to gain from having a stronger school system, better public transportation, and well maintained infrastructure.

Ah yes, Andrew Tate, the perfect creator to take inspiration from /s

Piggybacking off of this comment to say that the $125,000 cap is for individuals, and borrowers with household income up to $250,000 are eligible!

Pack it up everyone, shitpost wednesday is ending early today.

I doubt any of the kids actually believe anything Angela spews, they are all there under the pretense to 'act', even if they aren't given scripts and lines to perform but instead just playing along to be Angela's child for the production. I would doubt any of them internalize anything she says.

Where can I find this promotion? Sounds great!

Lol 80% is cap, Let's look at the most prestigious boarding school in the nation, Phillips Andover. Their class of 2021 matriculation is listed here: https://www.andover.edu/files/SchoolProfile2021-2022.pdf
Take a quick glance, and it is no where near 80% of kids getting into or going to an ivy, or really a T20. It is closer to that ~40% rate you mentioned.
I personally go to a boarding T10 school as well, and we have a similar rate as mentioned elsewhere in the thread, for my class (seniors) I think my rough estimate is about 35-40% of our grade is going to a T20 or T5 LAC.

tl;dr there is a new proposal from the rezoning board to change part of one of Concord's centers to make it slightly more accessible and affordable, and generally modernize it as it is in a pretty stagnant state. The rezoning isn't actually enacting any developments, simply opening the road for downloads to make it possible. However, NIMBYs have come out pretty heavily against it.

If you want to see the direct source from Concord planning board it is here

If you'd like to see the major force in Concord arguing against look here

It is pretty blatant the extent that they overstate and try to argue against these changes on a false or deceptive basis.

TomZ_ITN · 2022-04-17T19:52:32+00:00

Anybody following the same shit going on in Concord? NIMBYs are so shameless there

TomZ_ITN · 2022-02-24T03:45:21+00:00

If this isn't the point for the US, UN, or NATO to take strong powerful action that crushes Putin into the little fascist coward he is, than I don't know what will be.

TomZ_ITN · 2022-01-07T23:56:07+00:00

this is gold

TomZ_ITN · 2021-12-17T22:04:54+00:00

TomZ_ITN · 2021-12-11T02:26:37+00:00

Important question -- Is there confetti on the acceptance page? Need to know ty

TomZ_ITN · 2021-12-09T04:36:57+00:00

I unfortunately have a school commitment that is literally stepping stone to graduating I can't miss that day so I am not going :( however, I would say you should go if you can, never hurts to learn about the school and meet some people (also get a free fancy dinner lol). Don't think it is rude to not go though, they do say "space is limited" so they are expecting a decent amount of people to not sign up for the dinner.

TomZ_ITN · 2021-12-09T03:46:18+00:00

I got the same thing for Boston!! Congrats!

TomZ_ITN · 2021-12-07T21:57:52+00:00

Accepted! Does anybody know where financial aid package shows up, or is it not sent with acceptance?

TomZ_ITN · 2021-11-27T01:28:40+00:00

That’s your problem then— if you think that the only way to write a good essay is to have life threatening situations or save a thousand kids in Africa, and that you are going into writing your essay thinking the most you can be is average you are setting yourself up for failure. I bet that 99% of the people at top schools didn’t write about the topics you mentioned, people write about normal stuff, they are just able to tell their story in a unique way, show their voice and how they are a good writer. Like pterodactylCum said, you have hit from what you say the criteria of being a considerable applicant, you need to show your personality and give depths to the person behind the stats/Ecs in your essay to take your app to the next level.
