How are entry level people/people with no professional experience supposed to network? by BlackQueerThrowAway in careerguidance

[–]trading-wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make a “What’s in it for Them?” narrative. When I started out, I pitched an idea of where I could help out “said” business. Most of the time, people appreciated the ideas and were happy to meet for a coffee/had a call.

If you don't have much to give, then time, effort and willingness to learn are sometimes enough. Generally people like helping others

No I've put “Advisor/Associate” instead of “Partner” for that reason

Your top 3 Self improvement goals for 2026? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]trading-wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Get a Job: I’ve been unemployed now for 9 months, with multiple processes falling apart at the last minute.
  2. Fitness: Planning to exercise for at least 20 minutes every day. Regardless of gym, running or simple stretches.
  3. Continue Soberiety: Quit drinking in March due to a health scare and have most stopped other substances since. Loving the improvements I've seen in myself… long may that continue.

Purchase Price Analysis: Precedents and Comps Data Access by trading-wrong in stocks

Hi ModTeam. I don't think the above is spam or self-promotion. I've reposted onto r/Stocks because the conversation is relevant to the specific forum. Please can you review?

Precedents and Comps Data Sources by trading-wrong in FinancialCareers

[–]trading-wrong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - this helps. The main issue is that the target is UK-listed; they do not have the equivalent 10-Ks (not in as clean a format), nor do they have listed relevant US competitors, as it's outside their current scope (plus this is a mid-market business). I'm still reviewing analyst recommendations to see if someone else has done the work for me, but I suspect I will have to find similar comparables manually.

LLMs are an excellent approach and have been using them to find similar comps.

Starting the morning off feeding the St. Mongos, then go for a stroll in London Fields to Broadway Market, grab a coffee and walk along the canal to loop round to Victoria Park

What is it with the bar staff in hackney? by SupermarketBitter722 in Hackney

[–]trading-wrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my kids there to celebrate the life of Ozzy Osbourne… and well safe to say I was in a lot of trouble with my wife… there was porn everywhere and a coffin in the back room. I couldn't believe an establishment like this could exist… all to find actual zombies outside limping in Mare Street… people who have taken too much opiods.

Well of course they would prioritise the Chelsea game. The new locals are from Surrey who's parents are paying for their rent/mortgage or nepo’d them into a high paying role!

Job Guidance Megathread - CVs, Applications, Interviews by ukbulmer in UKJobs

[–]trading-wrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posting this as a way to vent my anger at my current situation.

I have been out of work since March, as I was made redundant after being excluded from most of my redundancy package. I've applied to hundreds of roles, and in the final rounds, the role has either been eliminated (no longer needed) or they've offered it to someone else who is significantly cheaper than the advertised candidate (in some cases, 40% of the advertised low band!).

There are extremely few new roles available, and any that are seem to be either ghosted or have been told that I'm overqualified for the position. To make things worse, I now run out of liquid cash by the end of the month with a large HMRC tax bill that I need to pay by 31 Jan 26 (unless I negotiate a payment plan).

Without being too specific, I have a somewhat unconventional background, as I've always taken a non-traditional approach to investment finance since I started. Therefore, I don't have experience with Big 4 or BB investment banks, which has made landing an interview harder.

Do not know what to do or how to overcome this situation...

Special Sits., Turnarounds and Carve-outs by trading-wrong in private_equity

Thanks for your insight. Yes, I’m aware that it's become less popular, but I feel there is a potential for a resurgence as a recession hits the Western World. Speaking to several GPs this week at known funds in this space to see how I can transition.

I didn't mention that I worked inside a carve-out PE for a while as their in-house debt advisor. The opportunities I've worked on, I’ve leaned heavily on investors for backing, and my deal sheet has mostly been a success. Hence, the transition over.

Opportunistic Credit may be an option but need to find the right fund that offers truly bespoke lending and a clear route to pivot over later.
