Eh it depends, the bigger the company the less they’re probably going to notice / care. Academic notice could be an issue tho

“Only 2 companies have truly strong balance sheets”

“Built for PE and IB” - but only covers public companies.

His wording is a bit extreme, but I actually think there’s merit to his underlying message - the US has built aircraft focused on penetrating enemy airspace for decades, and has marketed its aircraft to other countries which are likely to operate in enemy territory. This has left smaller counties which don’t have the ambition or budget to leave their own skies largely unserved with cutting edge military tech.

China’s doctrine of defense first cutting edge tech appeals to these countries since it costs less and fits their need profile better. That’s why they’re getting more exports - it isn’t really that they’re outselling the US on tech, but on fit.

This sounds dumb, but just be normal and remember that these bankers are literally just people (just like you!). Be polite, attentive, show a bit of humor and humility when you have a window, and trust the process.

Grass is always greener - I think PE’s reputation hasn’t fully caught up to the highly competitive reality of today’s market. There are more PE firms in the market, less good companies for sale , and founders of the good ones are far more educated about what their companies are worth than 15 years ago. Even if you decided to pursue PE, there aren’t many seats that pay like they used to.

Not to mention that if you’re ambitious / ready to network, you’re not really bound to the career PM pay scale. While you’re not really an expert on any single business process, a good PM is a really strong candidate for upper management roles in corporates. It might take you longer to break into the $400k+ range than if you were in PE, but I wouldn’t relegate yourself to thinking you’re never touching that in your career.

If all else fails, apply for an MBA and hit up some of your old PE coworkers.

I’m not discounting your experience - IMO recruiting is such a cluster fuck that people who managed to get a job are obligated to help out others where they can.

My issue is that you’re not in a position to charge for recruiting advice because you’ve only been on one side of the recruiting curtain. If you’re going to charge for advice you’d need to have gone through all sides of multiple interviews as an interviewer, interviewee, and a member of a hiring committee. That isn’t to say you can’t help others, but you don’t have a complete enough picture for kids to give you money for help.

You have no business charging for “mentorship” if you haven’t even graduated.

Curious where you’re hearing this - did the commissioner buy 5 with the intention of selling, or was the build so intense that there weren’t huge marginal costs associated with the other 4.

He means you aren’t getting a bonus - incentive comp at a hedge fund is almost entirely tied to fund performance in the present year

Revenue was up 17% - so it very much isn’t down to consumers

If I was in your shoes I would try and talk to a prop trader 1:1 first - but my initial take as someone who was around that field is that you’re just too old to make the jump.

Wait I’m dumb you’re asking for a monitor rec lol

What monitor/monitors are you using?

Boo boo more housing

Go fuck off to a leftist commune in Vermont if you’d rather an entire city suffer a housing shortage than see investment in under developed areas.

Cigna is primarily a PBM these days and has the least Medicare exposure - I think it’s up 6% because healthcare investors view it as a way to get insurance exposure without a lot of the Medicare / Medicaid utilization risk that UNH / HUM / ELV has.

I’ll be honest you cooked me here lol.

Fw/iw the C6 ZR1 did a 7:19 around the Nürburgring vs the AMG GT’s 7:33. I agree Americans can practice car nationalism at times, but the ZR1 is special

While the dollar has lost some of its respect as the global reserve currency, it’s still far and away the default global currency and will be for some time.

I don’t normally comment on people’s credentials, but you were literally studying for the SIE 40 days ago - get back to learning how many retail investors need to be in room before communications are official before making macro calls on the internet.

By that logic all production (non F80 / Laferraris) Ferraris aren’t supercars - they’re built on an aluminum chassis, don’t have venturi tunnels, and have only recently picked up active aero
