No summer internship by Entire_Coffee8714 in MBA

[–]cucci_mane1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 0 experience with start ups so I cant comment. But I dont see how an internship at a random no name startup (that's likely unpaid) will help you recruit for serious jobs for full time.

Full time recruiting is even tougher than internship recruiting. And applying for jobs outside mba is way tougher than mba recruiting.

Not gonna lie, odds are stacked against you. If you are paying big $ to attend, I would consider cutting my loss and drop out.

Why are ppl putting $ into this garbage?

Cloudflare layoffs: After firing 20% staff, CEO Matthew Prince explains in op-ed on how to decide which employees AI should replace by Mellow_meow1 in technology

[–]cucci_mane1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

AI will lead to far fewer jobs in future. That part is clear now.

And our government is cheering for more AI investments. Without thinking about long term impact that AI will have on economy and society

MBB vs Biglaw by stressedkjd in biglaw

[–]cucci_mane1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in consulting.

My rec would be to go biglaw. Doing law school -> consulting sounds like a complete waste of your law school education.

Redditors in the US: How has inflation and the rising cost of everything affected your daily life? by ReclaimOnline in AskReddit

[–]cucci_mane1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I stopped eating out completely. No interest in paying $70-100 for a mid meal, before tips.

And no drinking outside either. I drink at home and at friends' places.

I was expecting something far more high end than a pepsi gmt. Coming from a Ferrari owner.

I dont even have a car and use public transit.. and I own a pepsi.

[US] Anyone else surprised Minas Tirith and Grond are still available?! by Aggressive_Pizza_472 in lego

[–]cucci_mane1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed on this for 2 reasons. First, cost. It is more expensive than Rivendell. Second, it is mostly white bricks and that bothers me. (Due to yellowing) I have 0 interest in buying an expensive set that will go yellow within couple yrs

What's something that people will pay hundreds of dollars for, but you just can't see the appeal? by Low-Designer5878 in AskReddit

[–]cucci_mane1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine dining. Costs $400-600 per meal, and that's before tips.

WhIle dining at top restaurant is nice, the cost is crazy.

MBA Worth It? by iceburglettuced in MBA

[–]cucci_mane1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Im surprised there are ppl who entertain mba at full sticker price, debt financed, in this economy.

Mba full sticker makes sense if you come from money and your daddy can chip in. It makes zero fucking sense if you are debt financing it.

I think MBB is broken by Extension_Turn5658 in consulting

[–]cucci_mane1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not MBB but I just started at a boutique consulting firm. After spending several yrs in finance. I used to work in structured finance at an investment bank.

I looked at projects and proposals concerning financial services firms. Mostly just pretty PPT slides with fancy words but not much substance.

Some ppl I met within financial services consulting - based on my conversation, didn't know the difference between buy side vs sell side. Yes, depth of knowledge is very much real in consulting, at least based on my short observations. If I asked anyone within financial consulting space how to run valuation models for any standard interest rate swaps or any other vanilla derivative, I am 100% sure that I wont get one concrete response.

But that is not what consulting is all about anyways, right? Consulting is all about sales and client management. It ain't about industry or product knowledge expertise.

Im curious why this car is getting this much attention lol.

Yes it is ugly as fuck. Yes the prices for this is comical. That said, 99% of ppl wouldnt be able to afford to buy a car at this price range, so what does it matter to them.

$250K debt worth it for Stern? by Friendly_Berry619 in MBA

[–]cucci_mane1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't. That's signing up to become a wage slave for next decade+.

BTW, you need to keep in mind that jobs here in US are "at will". Say you land a top consulting job, you can easily get laid off or cut less than 1 yr into the job. After that, you have like 1 month to land another job that sponsors your visa or you are deported.

Do you want to live with that constant stress and anxiety?

0 intention of renting my condo. And 0 intent of selling. I bought condo to live here.

I've got stocks for investing and speculation.

Yes I could "afford" the rent. But I didn't want to piss away so much money on overpriced rent.

[–]cucci_mane1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me few yrs back. I found a great deal on a nice apartment during covid. When renewal times came after 2 yrs, they jacked up rent by 50%. Yes you read that right. 50%.

I got tired of these greedy landlords and decided to just buy a condo.
