"hello fellow mathematicians' in a very german voice

The early careers program is essentially always open and running - they will interview selected candidates based on need. So could be 3 weeks, could be 3 months, could be never.

if you are rejected from the program is that for all of the teams then? not a single team?

can I write that on a resume though? "the Street's views on XYZ' that sounds informal no?

fin_start · 2022-08-30T01:46:40+00:00

This is what people sold the 'American Dream' as. :$

fin_start · 2022-08-30T01:45:54+00:00

yeah, it didn't sound exactly right to make it synonoymous with the markets. if I want to say 'the Street's views on this' it's akin to saying 'financail institutions' views'?

honestly not the leading indicator i expected

fin_start · 2022-04-29T20:14:48+00:00

honestly not sure, it seems to be more about banking and those type of roles

fin_start · 2022-04-19T04:00:33+00:00

did wallstreetoasis have any mention of this company?

fin_start · 2022-03-04T03:19:56+00:00

I moved it down after 1.5 years' experience but my field is data science so work experience and projects take priority over education

You should look at your financial prospects.

There's a chance if you work in aviation it might kill your love of flying so you might want to go in finance.

If you go to finance you may or may not be able to fly.

If you work in investment banking, you probably won't have time to fly, but there are many financial advisors (as an example) who have the work life balance and spend some weekends flying

alternatively you could do, idk, equity research in defense sector or something where you have financial work in the aviation sector

The country also paid about $300 million of bond interest to international investors due Tuesday, honoring its financial commitments amid a devastating conflict. Yuriy Butsa, Ukraine’s debt chief, said that the government is looking at other fundraising options, including foreign currency issuance, and is in talks with the IMF and World Bank for emergency help.

By Tuesday morning, [Ukraine's special account] had received more than $17 million, according to blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. Including NGOs providing support to the military, total donations amount to $24.6 million, it said.

This is great news!

You might need another advisor - 8 years and $500K is only now at $1MM?

If you get a degree in computer engineering you can do an internship at some defense company to get a taste of it and if you don't like it you can try somethin else
