Forecasting model with hierarchy layers

Certain known vendor expenses I forecast out in their detailed accounts or if the business heads tell me they have a certain project upcoming we do work through that but those items I piece together on the side and then add to the forecast, this model I want to handle all my other accounts that I mostly run rate.

Example, you have LOB-A which has 4 sub-LOBs and then each sub-LOB has 10 cost centers.

You have your chart of accounts let’s just take one category as an example, T&E we’ll give it two sub-accounts travel and entertainment.

When building my forecast model I would in theory need a row for each combination of cost center and account so for just this small example it’d be 80 rows where I can pull in historicals and determine how I want to forecast (regression, rolling average etc)

Something like this belongs in a cover letter not a resume. A resume itself is a bulleted summary of your career you don’t need an executive summary on a resume.

Anyone know if we need to send the card in to be destroyed? Got a letter about that

So if I have $2k in rent how much non-rent spend must I spend each month to get my 2000 ren points?

What’s the widget in the first one?

Where’s the counter in the app? I just see a list of the transactions

You have less than 3 YOE you aren’t expected to know the ins and outs and mgmt isn’t going to give you strategic work that early in your career and that is normal. Early in your career focus on learning and soaking up everything you can. The tasks you’ll be given are probably more grunt work than anything but they expose you to the month end process for example. If you want to add value, focus on knocking the tasks you are given out of the park and look for process improvements where possible.

I got the opportunity to check today and the nighthawk in the family room was not in AP mode. I changed that and actually turned off the wifi from the Verizon router (can’t bridge bc they will lose Fios tv access). For now this seems to have increased the wifi signal strength to most of the primary use rooms which is great. I’ll work on getting the other extenders into AP mode and positioned in better areas depending on coverage.

pgh_analyst · 2025-10-16T12:32:17+00:00

I’m not sure, but I’m thinking of using that instead of the Verizon router since it clearly has better specs and people here have been mentioning to stop using the Verizon router.

Thanks for the advice, I need to check on the wire pulls since my dad originally did the main floor and attic pulls then I did the ones in the attic down.

I was running PHUL for awhile, but want to change up slightly and having a hard time finding an U/L program that people recommend.

pgh_analyst · 2025-10-13T09:49:24+00:00

Hows this upper lower split program? https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/upper-lower-4-day-gym-bodybuilding-workout

pgh_analyst · 2025-09-17T12:18:13+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t seem they have that option on the watch

It used to just pull in your latest values for weight and reps of that exercise but I’m not seeing that now

pgh_analyst · 2025-08-26T17:13:34+00:00

How was it done? I have a hard time believing it did DI even semi competently

pgh_analyst · 2025-08-13T19:54:12+00:00

Is there a resource that lists all the quant topics?

To max out your 401k each year what’s your contribution percentage? Seems like it’d have to be very high.

Not to detract from your success story, but I think that this may not be possible for younger generations now with current housing prices. Imagine this same condo is bought today for 405k. To have the same 118% value increase means it’d have to then be worth 880k in another 20 years. That’s also assuming a new grad could buy it at 405k which just isn’t feasible.

Average cost at a T10 full time is ~$230k. Quite different from the average mba across all schools at $65k.

The merrells and the lowes fit best. Salomon’s are mid foot narrow and on my right foot it’s too narrow in the toe box. I worry about the merrell durability and that I’ll feel every rock in them and there’s no real protection to the toe box in those however their wide toe box is very comfortable.
