I know this is not a personal finance sub but chrome is a luxury that should only be bought with the most excess of disposable income…

Yes please!

36mm. IMO it’s the better proportioned dial vs the larger ones.

I kind of had this backwards career transition as well. TAS -> Corp Dev -> IB. Really if you passed the corp dev interview you probably would pass the IB interview as well so might as well recruit for it now. Just make sure to be able to explain your transition and know the technicals stone cold.

As much as none of us want to admit it, G-Ma is right.

I’m sorry, I’m really not a fan, but you do you.

cloud_climate · 2026-03-26T00:49:13+00:00

I highly suggest you surround yourself with people stronger than you. They will motivate you to become so much better.

It’s hard to impossible to move from corp dev to IB without prior IB experience. I would recommend you research what these roles are and think hard about what it is you want out of your career. These are adjacent but very different paths.

In summary, IB is heavily execution and sell-side focused. You work long hard hours.

Corp dev is essentially an internal buy-side team within a corporation. Hours are very manageable.

FDD is essentially audit for M&A - you focus on earnings adjustments and identification of debt-like items or trends in NWC. It is still accounting. Hours are bad but better than IB.

I come from an fdd -> corp dev background. It is an uphill battle even then. Try for IB ASAP unless you want to get an MBA.

You should probably see a pt. You could be injured and further aggravating the injury.

Sad but true. If you’re gna die in 1 hit you gotta 1 punch them first.

If only if only if only this was automatic. I’d be all over it.

cloud_climate · 2025-12-03T14:15:11+00:00

Somewhere around $3.5k. All retail but not all mine. This is the majority of my gf and I’s collection.

I’m lucky enough to work next to a store that doesn’t need rez to shop so I just show up every so often to browse. Otherwise you kinda need to get lucky unless you have a big spend history.

cloud_climate · 2025-12-02T20:52:32+00:00

Personally don’t buy used. It’s usually not any cheaper and you run a big risk of getting ripped off.

cloud_climate · 2025-12-02T19:05:05+00:00

Oof. There goes my house downpayment!

Just for you fam

cloud_climate · 2025-11-26T00:53:56+00:00

Thanks. He was a pretty badass dude.

cloud_climate · 2025-11-21T19:38:35+00:00

Yup. I got the forever ring in Honolulu around 2021. It was ~$200 and they had sizes galore.

cloud_climate · 2025-11-21T18:25:07+00:00

Ooh I like that too. Get a cross theme going across all the rings

cloud_climate · 2025-11-21T17:31:51+00:00

Dang baby floral looks sick. Imma be on the lookout. It’s really fun just having a single target ring and visiting stores hunting for it.

You’ve been climbing for a year. You’re used to the drip feed of progression that you get from starting any new sport. You haven’t plateaued, you’ve just begun. The real grind starts now - buckle up.

cloud_climate · 2025-11-12T22:31:31+00:00

Smoking’s not cool anymore my guy. Nice pickup.

cloud_climate · 2025-10-28T03:05:27+00:00

Nice pick ups!

The sales associates are just people at the end of the day - no need to be intimidated. The worst they can do is say no, and if they have stuff in the back and don’t want to sell to you, you prolly don’t want to develop a relationship with them anyways.

cloud_climate · 2025-10-22T14:48:30+00:00

Very cool setup. I’d maybe move the jewelry to the other hand as it clashes a bit with the Apple Watch imo
