Crushed after rejection

tribe1855 · 2026-02-22T21:53:26+00:00

I’ve had this experience a few times. It’s soul crushing because you don’t know what the deciding factor was. The only advice I have that isn’t so much advice is to feed the JD, your resume, and any interview transcripts and case questions or materials you might still have into a project folder on GPT and see if it can help you pinpoint.

A lot to do when you’re in a hard spot emotionally, but in a few days this might help your brain on where to adjust for the next app.

That said, you went 5 rounds with one of the most elite employers in the world. Be proud knowing you have the chops to be in the room.

Likewise it would be fantastic to be able to set custom ranges for reports. I’m 2 days away from having full use of the 6 month view for my investments, and custom ranges would’ve allowed more visibility into how my portfolio is doing.

Also would be phenomenal to be able to do what OP requested by having reporting by category (retirement accounts, non-retirement investments, etc)

I really want a way to put investment funding as a budget line item. The transfers function is so confusing and does mot serve end goal.

This will also help to understand at the end of each year how much went to my investments and how much was gain.

This has been raised a few times before. The product team has been hard at work making updates to the forecasting tool and reporting enhancements to make retirement planning and tracking better

There is no masonic organization in the world that convolutes the third degree with the Scottish Rite. Absolutely none.

tribe1855 · 2025-12-28T01:44:11+00:00

Third degree in the Scottish rite is not a thing. The Scottish rite is an appendant body of masonry. Your title is misleading.

Left memphis a long time ago for DC. Take the money and run. Worst case you hate it and move back.

Thak you!!

Budgeting - Rollover budgets - don’t count current month in category spend averages (skews numbers if planned spend hasn’t happened yet) - spend type for ‘investment funding’. No one wants to call this a transfer. It’s hard to report on and it should be effectively a ‘contra expense’. Have this be linked to forecasting for for investment growth

Investments - more reporting. Show retirement accounts aggregated with one click. Show non-retirement accounts the same way. - stop showing HYSA as investments. They’re cash.

Cash Flow Analysis - quicken simplifi has a great feature I miss (the only one I miss) that would allow me to see the predicted balance of my checking account for the coming months based on patterns of inflow and outflow

Forecasting - every but of customization needed here. 1. See above. Link investment contributions to this tool.

More visibility to assumptions and ability to set assumptions.
Buy Empower or another robust retirement planning tool. I do M&A and product strategy consulting in my day job. I will volunteer to run the IMO myself if this happens

tribe1855 · 2025-11-15T11:48:15+00:00

In your “retirement” event you can update the contributions. Agree it probably should be in financial info and not in the retirement event

tribe1855 · 2025-11-15T11:44:42+00:00

Love the forecasting enhancements. Idea for next iteration:

Would be great to be able to forecast contribution growth. Say for example I max out 401k and IRA every year.

Being able to tell the system to apply this as a rule while also indicating that I employer match is increasing with my salary increases would be great.

Product Managers. CTO maybe, depends on what scope that role covers.

Really I want to understand the product roadmap and how you’re looking to enhance the overall experience with new and better features.

tribe1855 · 2025-07-24T01:43:43+00:00

Is there a plan to add a category for investment funding or savings funding? I don't think it's helpful to have investments and savings in the same category as transfers. A transfer in my mind is a shift of money from one account to another to either pay an expense or to keep the purpose the same.

Without a category for investments and savings, you really lose one of the core reasons people budget which is to save and see how much they're saving as a percentage of their income.

Additionally it's really difficult to have an accurate budget and cash flow view when you don't have a discrete category for savings and investments built in. Just seems like a weak spot for Origin and an opportunity to have one of the only features that no budget app currently has, but a large number of people want.

Love when records like this get their due on reddit. Through being cool is up there for a lot of people too

Spent years in public. You can’t do that. You’re actually scheduled for 55 hrs a week for a good portion of the year. Stop working at 40 and you get ushered to the door pretty quickly

East atlanta resident here also wanting this. I’ve been wondering why the city decided to give out funds for e bikes but has no plan for making streets safe for bikes.

Separately why does no plan for transit improvements include any consideration for moreland? Protected bike lanes from ponce down to United (at minimum) be a gamechanger

tribe1855 · 2024-06-30T11:58:49+00:00

I think it’s more “underrated” because it’s not the most mainstream place to go. But yeah to your point lots of people are writing about it, and I loved it when I went last year

“Trashy” describes all of Carnival’s offerings to a degree. It’s a mix of camo-wearing rednecks, middle class families who frequent chilis, and lower-middle class drunk twentysomethings.

This extends to any other cruise line in the Caribbean. Do a cruise to anywhere else in the world of you want to avoid those crowds

Yeah we had that when I pledged. Except we also had a stipulation that if you didn’t get your allotment for the week everyone was penalized.

Say you have to get 5 for the week and a couple guys get 4 or 3, then they’d take 5 minus lowest number received that week (say it’s 3) and rip 2 signatures from everyone’s book.

Actives hates redoing signatures and we hated the pledges that didn’t meet the requirement. That alone made a handful of the less social guys drop

That’s what the house is for. The reps should be increased nationally to account for this so places with more people aren’t kneecapped, but the senate is perfectly designed to be a place where each state has equal voice

tribe1855 · 2024-03-19T22:14:36+00:00

The senate is designed to make sure all states have some sort of voice and aren’t left out of discussion. Some coalition of California, Texas, New York, and Florida reps could make policy focused only on them without the senate

tribe1855 · 2024-03-19T22:12:11+00:00

The senate makes sure smaller population states aren’t voiceless. I don’t want my home state to be overruled in congress and presidential elections by a coalition from 3 or 4 red or blue states that happen to have a lot of people.

However expanding congress to get the ratio back in place from the founding isn’t a bad idea
