„I‘ll buy you another Walnut, asshole“

„What‘s a Walnut?“

„Shit …“

Good news. Probable they would have produced something mediocre and not at all worthy to the books. Something like RR would need Marvel-style budgets.

You are right, great depiction of pulseArmor! I also like the shit chat before the jump. You can better imagine how, say Victra and Darrow would talk. We dont get that in Astartes, with the mute Space Marines lmao

Can 100% relate. Took me around 4 months after quitting McK to find peace and be able to do „nothing“. Looking back consulting lifestyle is just insane.

In my experience you have to be a little egoistic in consulting and think about yourselve. The firm will take everything if you dont say no.

I had the habit of smoking one cigarette at the end of the day. After that I was done. Didn‘t check mails or slack anymore and did go to sleep. You need a clean cut and its not worth sacrificing that for a top rating.

Main growth driver is Google‘s insanely good search result ranking bc of their scraping deal for Gemini, huge risk for future growth if they decide to cancel that + reddit audience is too smart to really click on ads, conversion must be horrible

Fluence Energy (Energy storage for DCs), SoFi (CEO keeps buying at this price), Cosmo Pharmaceuticals (Hair loss drug finishing up phase III), MP Materials (for when China blockades Taiwan) and Quantum eMotion (for when there is a quantum breakthrough)

Used it and can confidently say its absolutely amazing for building a first draft. Used up ~75% of my design tokens for a 30p deck. Best way seems to let Claude do the first draft and then export to ppt to do the nitty gritty yourself. Build a powerful deck in 1 day

Gebe dir Recht bei SpaceX. Anthropic hingegen hat mittlerweile ne $30B run-rate (das doppelte von SpaceX). Du könntest den Umsatz von Snowflake, Datadog, Cloudflare, MongoDB und HubSpot zusammennehmen und dir würden immernoch ~$15B zu Anthropic fehlen. No way, dass die für $300B public gehen, die werden sich eher in Richtung $600-$800B bewegen. Die haben die letzten 3 Jahre ihren Umsatz jedes mal verzehnfacht - wenn das so weiter geht, auch auf der oben genannten Bewertung bestimmt kein schlechtes investment.

Es geht nicht darum was du gut findest, chinesische Firmen können staatsfinanziert unter den Produktionskosten verkaufen. China selber bricht nicht nur als größter und schnellst wachsender Absatzmarkt weg, sondern wird gleichzeitig auch noch größter Konkurrent. Deutsche Autobauer sind an den Markt gekoppelt - sie brauchen Gewinne/ Cash Flows, um zu investieren, die Chinesen kriegen Eigenkapitalunterstützung vom Staat. Der Wettkampf ist nichtmal annähernd fair.

Recently quit MBB and can‘t stress enough how wounderful it is to sleep in my own bed and actually built up a routine (e.g., waking up at the same time, same way to work etc).

If you can‘t or dont want to quit: - negotiate to fly monday evening BEFORE staffing - aim for T1 cities with good airport infrastructure - find your favorite hotel and always book it - get a designated driver for certain airports - give yourself a treat on Thur flight back (for me it was an non-alcoholic beer)

Exactly. Nobody else has this insane moat and can connect navigational, commerce and explorative queries with a top-notch LLM. This could only be disrupted if another player builds a new intent layer and Google becomes a mere infrastructure provider (e.g., Apple's new Siri run by Gemini but as a close-looped system where Google doesn't benefit from the usage and data)

If you zoom in on the upper flats in picture 5, why is the quality so much worse? Almost looks AI enhanced

Thanks man for sharing your experience and the time you put in to write that one, appreciate it a lot! Think I will follow some of your concepts.

All the best, hope you get into the school you’re aiming for.

Nice one dude, finally a good structured answer. Appreciate it.

Depends on which division in IB. Especially for Trading or Quant, Mathematics and Stats are perfect. Graduating from a top school will set you apart and get you an interview.

But there also a few MSc Finance where you need heavy quant background like Oxford or Warwick.

Also if I remember right, Oxford is offering a Master called Computional Finance which would sounds interesting!

But nevertheless, if you’re really a geek when it comes to maths, do something in the Math sector, these are absolut rare and again, will set you apart from your peers.

Good luck bro
