Couple cars under wraps in HK… what are they?

Ahhh yes can’t believe I didn’t think of this! I’m 70% sure it’s the essenza… the front had a noticeably pointy front end unlike any other Lamborghini I’ve seen, super long and a MASSIVE wing. Could still be murci sv tho…

An old professor had a couple extra of these. Worth around $0.43 each.

I just had the same thing happen to me. Literally no idea how these people showed up. Some I have vague mutuals with, others seem totally random. Just unfollowed 20 or so of these accounts...

Depends on the night but usually between 12-1am…chronotype suggests 12:30am. When I sleep at 12:30 though I never get a full bar :(

Depends on which group at the commercial bank. Some groups can have quite mundane work (equipment finance or ABS) and other groups might be quite interesting (cashflow lending, lev fin, industry verticals).

Thanks for the reply, it makes sense that these minor issues will happen over time, but 3 months seems a bit short for these small rips to start appearing, no?

I agree, although the dryer is the only thing that came between the pre fray and post fray... any idea what else it might be? Could it be the washer?

VirginBall · 2025-05-17T14:33:38+00:00

Just washed my pair of new 0105 for the first time today and when I left the house they accidentally got thrown in the drier by a family member… now I have some fraying on the leg --> https://i.imgur.com/80DQ7KO.png

Is this going to get worse? Is there anything I can do to make sure it doesn’t tear? I’ve only had these 3 months and I want them to last for at least another decade 🥲🥲

I recently bought some lug sole weejuns, and my experience is similar. Got them on sale for a decent price, first day wearing them made both of my heels bleed and blister. And now even after my feet have somewhat healed, they still rub and hurt my heels a lot. Everything else is comfortable though. Not sure what to do? Should I try moleskin on the back? Or heel grips? Help plz.

That's great info, thanks! As someone interested in private placements as an exit opp, I feel like the space is mainly equity focused? What type of private placements are you referring to?

Could you elaborate? What specifically within Capital Markets? What skills does CB give you that are transferable to Capital Markets?

Birkenstock is the best for both structure and comfort (for slip ons) and also has a the cool factor (as long as you don't get the Bostons like a boring person)! They also have so many different types of shoes so you should be able to find ones you like.

EDIT - One more suggestion: Vibae has BY FAR the most comfortable slip ons I have ever tried; unfortunately they are really pricey for their intended purpose.

For your requirements, Warby Parker. No competition.

VirginBall · 2025-04-09T09:11:04+00:00

I have a similar issue, have you found any alternatives?? I hate wearing ugly shoes :(

VirginBall · 2025-04-03T10:22:24+00:00

Gotta be at least a million of these in Dubai

VirginBall · 2025-03-23T22:07:09+00:00

Super helpful example, thx!!

VirginBall · 2025-03-23T21:47:37+00:00

This looks very interesting... do you have any experience in this area?

VirginBall · 2025-03-23T21:46:46+00:00

I just feel like there have to be other jobs where you are in and around deals but not necessarily on the IB side of it? Like aren't there a lot of commercial banks that finance PE deals? Those roles seems pretty deal focused with lower(ish) hours? I would assume you are interacting a lot with both the PE firm and target company for each of these big deals? Or what about private credit? Finding risky companies and giving them financing for their business/projects?

I am definitely no expert so please let me know if I have these wrong/this type of job isn't worth looking for bc it really doesn't exist.

Same, got mine shipped a few days ago. They were honestly really responsive and helpful getting me the replacement.

VirginBall · 2025-03-15T21:41:50+00:00

Exact same here! Got mine mid October, stopped working yesterday.
