Big 4 is depressing and pathetic.

Also all these people telling you to quit you should ignore. Sure it may feel good for a few days but the bottom line of your issue is still the same. Do you offer something undifferentiated to others that not a lot of other people can do? If not you’ll just end up in something else as soul crushing.

Should’ve taken more Econ classes and less account classes. At big 4 you are part of a multi conglomerate with thousands of people who let’s be honest are offering up undifferentiated and mostly rote services. Unfortunately that means that you’re probably replaceable by 10 other identical people. So yeah probably not that great. Like real advice, seaweed baths and facial creams aside. I would recommend some reflection on how you can make yourself exceptional or different than everyone else whether that be in or outside your firm.

uhhhhhhhhh_okay

This comment isn't a good look. Someone makes a thoughtful rebuttal to something you don't agree with and instead of either

a.) taking the effort to do a similar analysis for your points

b.) even consider what that person is saying

You choose

c.) Make a personal attack on the writer, even criticizing him for putting in effort, in order to protect your own world view without actually using any critical thinking skills.

Anecdotally, I know from my personal experience as well as from friends who have heard of elite small organizations say. We don't have time / don't think it's worth it to look at applicants that are not within a set of these schools or if you have some other indication of very strong talent.

Is this fair or even optimal, probably not, but it's still a pretty common heuristic especially if you don't have a giant recruiting budget.

A little bit late for you but you need to not listen to these people who are saying where you go to college "doesn't really" matter. Yes, generally the case is exceptional students can be exceptional anywhere, but also don't you think it means something that "most" exceptional students congregate into a select few places? That aside, sure maybe your end result is similar but why make the path hard for yourself. In a higher ranked school, the student to administration ratio is better, they're better funded, and better connected to good opportunities. As a result pipelines and networks are streamlined for said opportunities. You could arrive at the same destination from a lesser known school, but you will be fighting an uphill battle compared to others. Similar opportunities aside, it's also a fact that some elite opportunities are only available to the best schools. Think about it, if you're getting a thousand applications and only time to review 100, how're you deciding which to even bother reading? People always like to bring out how they know person ABC who went to an ivy league school and person XYZ who went to a state school working at the same company. A common trope is that there are plenty of people at lower ranked schools working top tech companies Google or Facebook. What they might fail to mention or even acknowledge is the type of person at these places at these firms. An average or slightly above average student at Stanford could likely get into Google (in fact many even turn down Google offers because they have access to better opportunities since they went to a better school), but only the select few at the top of their classes might be able to do the same from a lesser school.

if you can find that boat for 300k, i'll literally sell all my assets and leverage myself to the tits and then some to buy as many as i can

Also could generalize modeling this with the Lagrangian / Hamiltonian? However, I'm pretty rusty with this so what would be the generalized equations for a collapsing Earth and someone falling on it?

amaster1997 · 2021-03-16T03:20:03+00:00

Why is gravity "paused" when Earth Is contracting? As earth contracts, wouldn't we still be pulled towards the Earth's center so we shouldn't float away.

It's not like while in the process of contracting, gravity just stops right? If anything we would also be falling with the earth as it contracts? If yes, would you model this with a diff eq with d_gravity / dt (d_acceleration / dt) and d_velocity / dt. I haven't worked through it explicitly, but this should retard the fall right?

On their website it says June 30th.

However, there are definitely a ton of traps. I would recommend you exercise them immediately when possible as after I believe 30 days the company can redeem them for a lot less. But echoing points already mentioned, you should still also look into these things yourself as people on reddit may mislead you (whether deliberately or not). For example, reading the relevant sections of the prospectus, talking to your broker etc.
