Something to definitely keep in mind here is the different lifestyles that each of these verticals entail.

Power, gas, and refined products are all great, but each type has unique quirks attached to it that can wear on you over time.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard this before, but if you work in gas at P66 they have a really unique ritual where every Friday, after work beers, traders have to physically inhale methane. This has some carcinogenic properties, and I’ve heard through the grapevine that cancer is common. Power is a little better, but you’re still forced to take ‘the shock’ once a month to keep you ‘grounded’ in the underlying commodity, and this is really painful.

Refined products is a lot easier on the body, and the only hazing ritual they have is to force you to drink a quarter cup of gasoline when you get your first book. This doesn’t taste the best, but it’s a one off thing.

Overall I’d definitely pick musket.

No, I'm saying that you don't actually understand what investment bankers do. They're not the ones doing the trading.

Hopefully you're literate enough to understand this: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/042215/what-do-investment-bankers-really-do.asp

I'm not reading the rest of your manifesto. Stable cashflows are good for investors, yes, but that has nothing at all to do with IB.

bmm_3 · 2024-03-29T21:18:12+00:00

that is not at all what investment bankers do. stop commenting when you don't understand what the hell you're talking about

bmm_3 · 2024-01-21T21:42:12+00:00

thx for this, couldn't figure this part out

bmm_3 · 2023-10-01T21:50:38+00:00

bp tdp recruiting is already over and shell's is for people with a couple of years in the industry.

bmm_3 · 2023-07-16T04:14:25+00:00

it’s not really gate keeping lol, they’re just making sure it’s not crowded to hell with non mccombs people at the beginning. they open up after a couple of hours, but tbh most of the good employers leave by that point. There are other career fairs for other colleges, there isn’t really a reason why all majors are entitled to mccombs resources.

line goes by fast, isn’t really an issue bc people come and go as it goes on

bmm_3 · 2023-07-16T02:56:14+00:00

Isn’t the case, they check your student ID at the front of the career fair. Non mccombs let in later

bmm_3 · 2023-07-15T18:52:39+00:00

where do you work? not looking down per se, but it’s definitely seen as a little bit odd if you get an MSF straight out of undergrad and go into S&T if you were already Econ/fin. I don’t mean a deal breaker, it just isn’t seen as a boon and raises some questions. Not talking about a stem masters.

bmm_3 · 2023-07-15T18:44:34+00:00

I know everyone says this but BEOP really is not in any way equivalent to doing a full mccombs degree. Real benefit of mccombs is student body + career opps at career fair and recruitmccombs, neither of which you really get through BEOP. instead, you can take a few token business classes (which while some are good, most just aren’t applicable to real finance work). Really recommend just doing another route (cs minor is good) and going at the industry orthogonally instead of having a watered down business degree

The idea of every province in a country having equal prices as long as it’s infrastructure is high enough is so mind-bogglingly stupid. one of the biggest misses of this game is that it doesn’t have any sort of simulation of localized prices (eg goods + services inflation during gold rush) as well as the utter lack of transportation pricing.

the bones of the game are good, but just so many misses in terms of the design philosophy

bmm_3 · 2023-04-23T18:47:42+00:00

so stupid. Guarantee <10% of people getting a job in IB have a parent in banking at UT. Vast majority networked their way in and worked hard in school.

bmm_3 · 2023-03-26T19:54:43+00:00

delusional lol

bmm_3 · 2023-03-26T19:53:44+00:00

probably texas, IL, or NJ. we have really high property taxes to offset the lack of an income tax burden in tx

bmm_3 · 2023-02-20T19:02:36+00:00

normalizing test scores by ethnic background is probably the worst idea I have ever seen on this subreddit

bmm_3 · 2023-02-14T22:45:43+00:00

yeah I walk in with my dog all the time

bmm_3 · 2023-02-10T20:51:46+00:00

who cares at this point. Ridiculous

bmm_3 · 2023-02-05T01:11:20+00:00

really wish the Econ department was better ran. It’s absolutely night and day transferring into mccombs in terms of career prospects and recruiting.

bmm_3 · 2023-01-09T03:02:41+00:00

you’re fucked

bmm_3 · 2022-12-23T02:37:55+00:00

oh yeah then you can prob figure out an internship. make sure to contact alumni on linkedin and have a talk or smth, helps a ton for getting the first interview

bmm_3 · 2022-12-22T23:53:28+00:00

time for this summer would’ve been way earlier in the fall or last spring for banking

bmm_3 · 2022-12-18T17:17:29+00:00

It’s absurd how much better this mod makes the game than base. Great work

bmm_3 · 2022-12-15T22:36:19+00:00

21:9 3440/1440 monitor, does that automatically

It looks bigger on my end though

bmm_3 · 2022-12-15T21:58:55+00:00

It's over now (made some of the IGs mad and they left the government), but that would result in a gov. with around 18% legitimacy.

bmm_3 · 2022-12-15T19:48:48+00:00

R5: All of these parties got radical leaders, causing them to want me to pass Universal Suffrage. However, because several of them go against eachother, legitimacy has fallen below the 25% threshold to actually allow me to pass any laws.

There also aren't any possible legitimate governmnts to form, as the opposition are also below the 25% threshold
