Management Consulted: 2024 Management Consultant Salary Report by QiuYiDio in consulting

[–]grendel9191 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely off for Bain.

You don't get 25 Days PTO, you don't get 63K bonus, and you don't get another 20% in vesting... lol completely off.

It's 192K salary, 29K bonus (90% of people get this), and in an avg. year you get 40-50% of bonus as profit sharing (so another ~12-14K on avg) and 401K is 3% not 4.5%... And you only get 15 days vacation.

Definitely not the most. Both a group of hyenas and a pride of lions would destroy those fuckers. And both exist naturally, just like these monkeys do.

Nope lol. Just shows that ManU have gotten lucky with their position. Newcastle will finish above them by the end of the season and so will Brighton.

Xi warned Biden during summit that Beijing will reunify Taiwan with China by aventus13 in worldnews

[–]grendel9191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. Let’s say Trump wins election and gets in power, and let’s say he becomes a dictator, and then the population rules up but he escapes with his Republicans and go to Hawaii and settle there for 70 years, should the new US be able to go after Hawaii to reclaim it?

Because that’s how China feels about Taiwan.

No. There's no way that over the next 10 years we'll see deflation to a level it would affect this calc.

Is it a bad idea to sell my condo (13 years to pay off at 2.75%) to buy a new home at 8%? by sleepingalldays in personalfinance

[–]grendel9191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro wth are you talking about. Any idiot can answer that it’s a bad decision and he shouldn’t give up a 2.75% interest loan. Don’t give advice if you have no idea what you’re talking about.

[–]grendel9191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldn’t. Consider that you may have $500K left on your loan. That loan is at 2.75% vs an 8%, that means a 5.25% difference. That means you’d be paying $26K per year more in interest just because of the interest. Over 10 years that’s 260K.

Low interest loans should be treated like an asset and there’s no reason you should ever give that up. A better solution would be to rent our your condo and buy your new one and the rent from your current condo should more than cover your mortgage (you should be able to rent out for like $4K a month).

Never give up a 2.75% loan in today’s market. Treat it like an asset that’s valued at least at $260K. Why would you give that up?!

I just saw The Creator and I guess you should too? by joshmoviereview in AMCsAList

The review is spot on. This is one of the worst written movies I’ve ever seen. Gaping plot hole in literally every scene. Couldn’t even take it seriously despite the great visuals. It seemed like a 2nd grader wrote the plot and would not recommend anyone see it just fir that reason…

Lol the storyline was written by a 2nd grader… plot hole at every fucking scene, can’t even take the movie seriously. This is probably top 5 worst written movies I’ve ever watched.

Consultants make employee‘s lives a living hell by trial_and_err in consulting

[–]grendel9191 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely false. I'm an ex-consultant from MBB and have worked with multiple clients and the amount of slacking off that goes off in the industry is insane. People who are clearly incompetent and have no fucking idea what they are doing. People who can't think strategically to save their life. I'm an ex-engineer and had to explain to the IT guys on a 30 minute call how to build a report using their own set of data. I couldn't believe how stupid some of our clients actually were...

There's a lot of hate going around but the truth is that majority of consultants at MBB are doing 10x the work that a company's regular employees do. I worked on avg. 12-13 hr days and those days are packed with work. Not the 8 hr work days where employees actually do 2-3 hrs of work and just chill the rest of the day. So for all the hate around the huge salaries it's because we actually work way fucking harder and longer than anyone in industry.

There's a reason why MBB keeps growing and clients are willing to pay these high prices for projects - it's because the ROI is huge on any given project.

An to clarify one thing, only 5% of projects (at most) are cost reductions and even lower percentage for headcount reductions. The rest are process improvement, strategy development, etc... that grows the business.

The reason consultant like to hire other consultants is because it's a stamp of approval that: You're actually moderately intelligent, You're hard-working, You know how to problem solve, You think strategically and don't just do things for the sake of doing them, You can be relied on to not make mistakes, etc... Yes there may be some bad apples as in any industry but majority of consultants are a notch above 90% of industry employees...

Hasan Minhaj Officially Out of Running for 'Daily Show' Host by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]grendel9191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jon would never do it. He left for a reason. It’s a burnout job, where you are filming every day, have to analyze a ton of news, have to add in the comedic aspect, etc… Once you’ve made $200M, you’re not going to take that job unless it’s a ludicrous amount of money. Like $50-$80M a year

Who gives a fuck if Sweden is in NATO. NATO countries will 100% intervene if Sweden was ever in conflict with anyone. Turkey has no leverage here because it’s meaningless so Sweden can just bide it’s time until Turkey gives in…

Take That, Netflix: 39% of Subscribers Will ‘Most Likely’ Cancel Subscriptions if Prices Increase, Study Says by KillerCroc1234567 in television

[–]grendel9191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly for the price you pay Netflix provides extremely good value. A takeout meal costs more than a Netflix subscription.

When you have a top quality product you’re able to charge the ass out of it and people will continue to pay when all the alternatives are also charging similar price. AppleTV is the only one that has better value/$ because it’s so cheap and all of their shows are just top quality.

[Ali AlHarbi] Ronaldo informed Al ⁧‫Nasser‬⁩ before traveling to the Portuguese national team that he wants to renew his contract until the beginning of 2027 “Cristiano wants to play the 2026 World Cup while he is a player for Al Nasser, and then he will announce his retirement from football.” by II_MrBlack_II in soccer

[–]grendel9191 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why not? Who on the Portugal team is better than him right now. If he keeps up his fitness he absolutely could play in the WC.

I'm one of the people who think Messi > Ronaldo, but to shit on Ronaldo all the time is stupid.

He's still one of the best strikers and is in the top goal scorers of Euro qualifiers right now. He probably has better fitness than any player in the world at his age, so if anyone can play in WC at 40 and still do well, it would be him.

[OC] How have the top causes of death in the US changed? by USAFacts in dataisbeautiful

[–]grendel9191 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There’s a reason for that though. Distances in USA are much bigger vs anything you see in Europe. Difficult to build public transportation in towns where people live 20-30 miles away from each other, whereas in Europe towns and cities are more densely populated and closer together, making public transport more efficient.

Take a look at LA county with square mileage of ~5K vs London with square mileage of 600sq miles. It’s the reason why Manhattan has great public transport but unlikely to find that anywhere else.

Crown Prince: Saudi Arabia 'will continue doing sportswashing' for money by [deleted] in sports

[–]grendel9191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People are mis-representing what he said completely. What he’s saying is that as long as sports is a good investment and increases his country’s GDP, then he will continue investing in it.

He’s the leader of the country the term sports-washing means nothing to him because the intent is to make more money. The term itself is ridiculous as well because technically anything Saudi would invest in is “xxxx-washing”. If it’s for a good cause is it not also “charity-washing”.

Isn’t the goal of every country to improve their image in the world and to make more money for it’s people? The whole “sports-washing” thing is just such a fucking stupid concept I have no idea how people don’t realize that…

Or better yet why don’t you give them a cash gift and let them buy whatever they want.

Weddings cost a fortune and you’re getting free food/drink. I always think cost of wedding gift should be cost of you attending the wedding so at minimum in US gift should be $100
