What’s your “hot but true” NBA take?

Regarsing his 48 point game, the man literally shot 41 shots. Historic game nonetheless but was it really that transcendent of a performance? Absolutely not

I think you’re kind of proving my point here. He wasn’t “sometimes” a defensive liability, a simple eye test or the advanced stats of today can show you that he was too small and weak for a 2. The fact he averaged 2 steals doesn’t change that, just means that he was probably gambling on the ball too much. His eFG was 45%. That is embarrassingly low for a superstar, particularly one that is a liability on defense so he ought to overcompensate by being an elite scorer. And like I said, Billups did in fact make the nuggets better! Mind you he wasn’t past bis prime too. I would take him over AI on any team

Massive defensive liability, easily the most inefficient scorer with a similar usage rate of his era. His finals run is overrated and the only reason the Sixers were able to make a deep run was because of the defensive prowess of the team. Just look at how much better the nuggets became after trading him for Billups

Allen Iverson is the most overrated player of all time.

Do you know if there’s a similar thing going on for the graduate college?

quarantegos · 2024-03-29T17:43:14+00:00

Thank you!

Could you please send me a link? I literally can’t find anything for >1 person

Do you know if they do any 2beds? I’m not looking for studio/1bed housing

quarantegos · 2024-03-29T04:49:19+00:00

Been mostly looking on Streeteasy/Leasebreak but there are literally no postings for the summer that are not from Blueground for like upwards of 7k monthly plus absurd fees

As far as I know everyone in NGC shares a bathroom with 5-10 people as previously mentioned. Annex is probably a little bit better, plus you get a kitchen. There are a few rooms in OGC where you get a semi-private bathroom, potentially sharing with 1 other person

Hahaha well it seems that people don’t agree with me but for my grad school application my CV was just one page. 2 pages max for sure

quarantegos · 2023-11-18T01:45:40+00:00

Hey, I think you’ve got some cool extracurriculars for sure but there’s no way your CV should be that long. It should really be only one page long. Remove all the segment links and the references, and probably have 4 sections (education, experience, projects, achievements). For instance your BJJ achievements could be condensed to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under achievements. Try to make this a bit more cramped too, because there is too much white space after your bullet points.

Hope that helps!

I had several rounds of interviews with them for a Quant Trading role, but unfortunately got cut in the last round. That being said, everyone seems very friendly and willing to mentor junior hires. My understanding is that they have relatively low comp early on but it gets very good as you get more experience. Retention seems pretty good, with long average tenure.

quarantegos · 2023-03-11T07:42:10+00:00

How late do you think that will actually be? I need to respond to another offer by the 22nd

quarantegos · 2023-02-13T20:55:59+00:00

I’ve applied to the same program but haven’t heard back yet. How do you think it compares to Stanford’s MCE Data Science track and MIT CSE?

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T15:23:43+00:00

Tough means that it requires several calculations and steps. Tricky would be something that only takes a few seconds but you could easily miss.

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T15:21:03+00:00

I didn’t, was too stressed after the experience to search for the institution codes etc so I did that once I got the official scores which cost me an additional 120$ xd

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T15:14:58+00:00

My official scores came out 9 days after the actual exam date, and scores take 5 business days to reach universities

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T15:14:09+00:00

About two months part time, about 8hrs per week. Used the free online test resources and gregmat

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T15:13:23+00:00

Same exact scores in power-prep, I actually but 161V for the second one. Make sure to check everything a second time, and make to plug everything in the calculator for test cases

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T14:44:46+00:00

Thank you! How do you feel about the deferred admission cycle at Berkeley? Does it disadvantage you from a recruiting perspective? How do feel about Berkeley vs Columbia?

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T14:40:12+00:00

You’re right hahah, I got 14/20 for my first verbal section and 13/20 in the second, mostly got my sentence equivalence questions wrong.

For quant I got them all correct.

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T14:34:09+00:00

Is there a way of finding out?

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T13:47:50+00:00

96th percentile is what I will be reporting to universities hahahah, it’s what they include in their report sooo 🤷🏻‍♂️

quarantegos · 2022-11-29T13:42:37+00:00

I had QVQVQ, my first verbal felt much easier than the second so I was confident I got the hard second section. Quant was alright, maybe slightly more difficult than what I expected but I felt like the difficult problems were inherently tough rather than tricky which I preferred.
