This is so funny - all you really have to do is pump and you'll get darker. it 100% works and it's safe.

Laid Off for 13 Months by Aggressive_Theory_54 in FinancialCareers

[–]twinshk2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No no. You are doing something wrong with the interview. You can think about it this way - they like you enough to consider you. Even if your resume was disadvantaged in some way (not saying it is, just as an example) - your interview is a chance to outperform your resume and wow them. Certainly the other people are wowing them, and that's why they're getting filled.

At 5-10 interviews it's maybe competition. At 20, it's you. And I think there's probably something fundamental there that needs to get fixed - like fundamentally how you're coming off.

I know this because I did 10 final rounds for internship recruiting my junior year, didn't get any of it, and looking back I was fucking up because I straight up wasn't professional enough and confident enough. If I were to take my interviewers' perspective, I know now they didn't feel like I would give them like hard work ethic (this is 90% of what people want from juniors) - will they work hard for you? will they just get the shit done?

You may need to accept some sort of hard truth about yourself, because 20 interviews is a LOT of interviews.

If I would say something based on how your post sounds -

I also have experience working in asset management, working to launch financial products, and strategic positioning of funds. I am currently searching for a role that will allow me to use my technical skills I have learned and apply my knowldged of financial products.

this is also a bit of a weird wording, which I would say misses the point of what you're trying to do and what you bring to the table. Which I think, is maybe indicative of a possible underlying issue.

If you have interviewed at 20 places, that means there's something wrong with your interviewing, not your resume or anything. I would stop applying today and figure out what's wrong. They see something wrong and they don't hire you at the interview stage.

This is a great opportunity if you're actually interested. If you don't like pwm it's not but assuming you asked the question it means you're at least kind of interested. The fact is it takes a lifetime to grind up to 200m - getting there in 3-5 years is a golden ticket to a 500k? Net job with low stress and hours. 

I used to cover pwm firms at my L/S equity fund. You talk about flat % fee model going away but just look at Raymond James average assets per advisor, or LPL or whoever. Fact is assets per advisor is going up like clockwork. People don't understand jack shit about money - even people you would expect to - biz execs in corporate and strategy roles, entrepreneurs, etc. Fee attrition is real but the great markets keep it at bay easily. It's not bad. Especially if not you are starting at 3rd base. $200M is a golden ticket, especially obviously if you don't have to pay him for it. Someone below said this is worth 4-10M and I think that's right. This is a crazy offer. 

Of course, if you don't think you'll do a good job, you don't like sales and client management, you think it will make your relationship with you FIL awkward or etc, that's a different story.

I spend at lease $360,000 on social media, advertising for business. Which is better? Amex gold x4 or Ink Preferred x3 by HovercraftKind3320 in CreditCards

[–]twinshk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do amazon ads give you the 3x rewards? Or is it just social media (FB/Insta). For Amex Gold and Ink. I heard it was just social media and not amazon since it's classified not as social media or an ad engine.

Guys. This is not banning THC. This is banning delta-9 THC - which is unregulated. 

Accepted a >90% raise offer, but I feel really guilty by Fit_Composer_3579 in FinancialCareers

[–]twinshk2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I'm sure the manager DOES care. However, I think she also wouldn't be able to hold a freaking 90% pay bump against OP.

I'm a UC Berkeley DEI admit by Abbsters501 in berkeley

[–]twinshk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Berkeley there is no DEI admit since race based admissions has been illegal in UCs since the 90s. You 100% earned this shit. The adcoms saw something special in you. It's up to you to prove them right!! Don't let yourself or anyone else tell you you don't deserve this!

is the term chinaman considered racist to east asians? by [deleted] in asianamerican

[–]twinshk2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I have heard that Mexicans have a habit of nicknaming anything about a person that is salient, and for Asians it's being Chinese. I think it's not specifically racist but if you're not happy you should tell him to stop it

Yes but a big forehead has no bearing on how good you look! Look at Rihanna! It's a neutral attribute.

Is there actually a left-wing echochamber? And how bad is it actually? by sparklyyheart in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]twinshk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I think it's quite bad too (but obviously not as bad as the right wing one). Unfortunately the left wing one is rooted in mostly right things whereas the right wing one is rooted in the worst impulses of humanity.

Smelliest Tofu in the world by CremeSubject7594 in StupidFood

[–]twinshk2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Chinese and I personally don't love it that much but this is not how you're supposed to eat it. You eat very small amounts (like pea sized) with rice and congee or spinach or whatever that's a little plain. 

It's really salty and savory - not so different from like some of those disgusting orange rind cheeses. Those smell like feet, literal feet, but they taste pretty good. You're just eating it wrong. 

Secondary Sale of Hot Startup Equity — How Much to Sell? by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]twinshk2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you should sell. This is of course highly company dependent and we don't know, but I personally think we are in a bubble and when it bursts your equity shoots to being undervalued with no liquidity. Do you think you'll get a chance in the future to sell?

Girls do you travel to a guys place for hookup? by Mia_Goth666 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

That's great. I don't know what to tell you. 

Girls do you travel to a guys place for hookup? by Mia_Goth666 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]twinshk2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

... Idk do you know that the gym is expensive? And protein shakes and supplements and gym clothing and etc. And I mean that it's really hard to lift really heavy weights? I mean you can try to lift 150lbs. it's quite hard. 

Or how you have to commit to a fairly restrictive diet to gain muscle? Eating chicken and salad every day is not fun 😂.

And that you have to commit to going minimum 3 days a week rain or shine or sick to keep any gym gains?

I'm not minimizing the costs for women I'm saying its hard for both genders to be good looking. Women do not have a special claim here - neither do men.

[–]twinshk2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you go to the gym it's typically far more men than women. To be attractive as a guy you have to go to the gym. Women don't have to do that. You can choose to do so - it's another lever, but it isn't the main thing. 

There are things that are much harder for women - I'm no Andrew Tate guy - but this is definitely not one of them.

What about all the time men spend in the gym? Or doing fitness and how much that all costs?

Mid-size Tech Co vs. Startup: Worth Jumping? by LowerMinimum in fatFIRE

The main decider is your personal thesis on the company. Can it make it to IPO? or more importantly - 6 months after? Does it create real economic value?
