Secondaries is a very specific skill set and he happens to be amongst the ancient and have the most years of experience in the industry

 

Mods have gotten unbelievably soft for things that represent nothing but the brutal truth about certain people. It's like any word about Shamsi is perceived as insulting Xi Jinping

 

Matt Swain sounds like a visionary - I like the guy even if he’s only 27 

 

This guy allegedly rents an apartment with a view into the office so he can see if people are coming into the office on weekends...

 

He sat on his ass stalking millennials and Gen Z on LinkedIn for 3 years. Surprised HL kept him around so long. Not surprised he’s gone. I never understood why people say he sounds polished and nice. Have found him to be easily rattled when questioned and overly defensive.

 

I am not even in secondaries and find this all very fascinating. Tell us more.

 

Shamsi sounds like a creepy beta
 

Glad to hear Matt Swain went in and took his spot 

 

Looks like he did not get fired, but he got layered...ouch...only time before he leaves. From Secondary Investor today it states he will remain a senior member of the team and focus on GP-leds lol

Anyone with any self respect would resign, but Shamsi just stays on to let the team bully him to the ground. I guess he still needs to pay the bills of his tiny Chelsea studio somehow to host his circle jerk Super Bowl Secondaries parties...
