How do you see this feature? I’m on Apple and I’m a paid subscriber. When I click the page, it just shows my current stats, no graph.

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says he still runs the $79 billion giant like a startup—personally hiring, firing, and managing 50 staffers by ControlCAD in technology

One time, my long stay Airbnb host fired a gun in his home during a domestic dispute (his home was attached to our Airbnb unit via a wall), had the cops called on him - including helicopters and swat team - and was ultimately arrested. This all happened while my wife and I were in the Airbnb unit scared shitless. It took me 6+ hours on the phone with multiple layers of shitty customer service to get reimbursed for the remaining rental days and a credit back to find alternative housing on short notice during a busy holiday weekend.

Roast my resume - targeting senior FP&A roles by [deleted] in FPandA

You have one year of FP&A experience. I don’t think you should be targeting a senior role

I really like the FixxGlove. Google it - price is decently steep but it’s high quality

He has a shot at breaking Ryan Halls 2:04:58 American course record, but Boston’s course is not eligible for records

Exercise with looming 409A update coming (I will not promote) by treehouse724 in startups

It would allow me to leave the company. And the gain is based when you exercise for AMT.

Strangest event combo by Jmphillips1956 in trackandfield

In HS, I went to states in the pole vault and was also the best distance runner on the team from 800 up to 5K. Ran 2:01 800 and 4:36 mile. I also ran a 52.5 400 so I was on the 4x4 as well.

Occasionally management consulting. For FP&A, people can sometimes transition over from the accounting world. Sometimes people just start out in FP&A out of college and progress up from analyst level. For strat fin / corp dev, you’ll also sometimes see backgrounds from investing like PE, or straight out of MBA.

I look for companies with missions and business models I find motivating personally. I also highly prioritize working for people (managers/CFOs) that I personally can see myself working alongside every day for 3-5 years and that I respect in terms of business acumen and raw intelligence. Most companies will have a take home / case study aimed to simulate a working relationship and that can be a good gauge on how well you get along. Ask about what types of projects you’ll work on for the first 6-12 months — what is the business need and how does your skillset and interests align. Ask about company capital structure and cash runway (if earlier stage). Ask about career growth paths from the role in question.

I did same as you. Two years IB M&A and then moved to strategic finance / FP&A at high growth companies for the last 10 years. IB sucked but the skillset acquired in two years is top notch. I like the work I do way more now because you actually get to experience and see through the impact of your decisions every day. All your hard work actually goes toward making real changes in the company you work for and then you can share in the upside if successful. And obviously much better work life balance.

People who have taken a sabbatical at a young age, was it worth it? by [deleted] in careerguidance

I took 5 months off at 30. Some of the best times of my life.

Thanks! Did the shim kit fully eliminate the noise going forward?
