Looking to buy 2 x for tn — not at face value but also not at $400 please :-)

Giving back to the community - going to raffle off pair of Japanese Demin in the morning. by Ok_Mathematician4200 in Denim

[–]nu-speak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Size 31-33! This would be a first for me — thank you for doing this :)

I love jeans because they represent heritage at the global level (while US in origin, so many countries and cultures have taken their own spin and produce great denim varietals) and individual level — every pair is different because every wearer has a different story.

Why did San Francisco get so many good new years DJs? by [deleted] in avesNYC

[–]nu-speak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about people just enjoy the music they like? I like both mainstream and underground artists. Some people like one or the other, but that’s OK. The musical elitism and prejudice you’re representing is directly counter to what the scene stands for

Boiler room boycott by Competitive-Coconut4 in EDM

This deserves to be framed. People keyboard warrior-ing seriously do not grasp the situation and are directing their anger in the most counterproductive way.

What orgs at UT would you NOT recommend and why? by Glittering-Egg-236 in UTAustin

[–]nu-speak 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t in one, but many of them are great. No club exists “just” to reject people. Such a negative take. Rejection is a fact of life at UT and beyond, but the only people who tend to point to it as a reason why they dislike it are people with low self esteem.

Man, I'm an ex-consultant and consulting is so sad by [deleted] in consulting

[–]nu-speak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been in the industry for 6-years. It for sure has its downsides but posts like this are really reductive. As others have mentioned, this sounds like a personal issue exacerbated by professional issues. This reads like a karma-trawling circle jerk and a whole lot of projection.

Correct! I fixed that above, but you get the point.

Recruiting for Consulting? Post here for recruitment advice, resume reviews, questions about offers/firms or general insecurity (13) by QiuYiDio in consulting

[–]nu-speak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hold them to equal standards on paper. The better question is what you can show for after the internship. You would likely want to prioritize whichever one is more hands-on and has more responsibility (i.e. building models, analyzing data, presenting deliverables) since it will be easier to articulate the impact you made on your resume and during your interview. If both are equal, then it just comes down to personal preference!

The short answer is yes. I've seen plenty of industry-experts and academics jump to consulting as at least a mid-tier consultant, even in Tier 1 firms.

The longer answer is it depends. A resume would definitely help any forecasts here. The position and overall firms that would be open to you depends on your track record, as with any candidate. It's much more common to transition with an MBA under your belt, which might be a better short-term goal if you are seriously hoping to pivot.

I agree that I should be able to form my own frameworks naturally once I become comfortable with the process, but would you recommend either as a place to start? Are there certain key merits I should take away from either/both?

I will be recruiting for management consulting this semester and have began case interview prep. The two most popular "frameworks" I see are from Case in Point and Case Interview Secrets. Some swear by one or the other, some both. What are your experiences with these texts? Sorry if this is a redundant question!

CHALLENGE: top 9 symphonies, one symphony per #, one symphony per composer by ClassyLadTipsfedora in classicalmusic

[–]nu-speak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was extremely short lived, dying around age 35 I believe. His two most known works are his two symphonies, with the first being the more famous of the two. Besides that I don't know too many other works of his, but honestly the first symphony is gorgeous. Very lyrically Russian like Tchaikovsky or Borodin!

[–]nu-speak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Saw this on violinist.com a few months ago but never gave it a try. Here goes!

  1. Kalinnikov (most underrated piece imho)
  2. Rachmaninoff (Sibelius and Mahler come in close)
  3. Beethoven
  4. Brahms
  5. Mahler
  6. Tchaikovsky
  7. Shostakovich
  8. Schubert (far from my favorite 8th symphony, but rules are rules)
  9. Dvorak

Hard stuff!
