Hey copycat, WHAT THE FUCK?
You should definitely be ready for techincals, especially if the job you're interviewing for is industry-specific. More and more people (myself included) don't ask too many "gotcha" technicals because they don't have chips on their shoulder, but you want to prove that you're competent enough to prepare properly. Hope this helps.

Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacteriaceae - a family of germs that are difficult to treat because they have high levels of resistance to antibiotics. E. coli is an example.
Healthy people usually do not get CRE infections – they usually happen to patients in hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare settings. Patients whose care requires devices like ventilators (breathing machines), urinary (bladder) catheters, or intravenous (vein) catheters, and patients who are taking long courses of certain antibiotics are most at risk for CRE infections. Some CRE bacteria have become resistant to most available antibiotics. Infections with these germs are very difficult to treat, and can be deadly—one report cites they can contribute to death in up to 50% of patients who become infected.

I have a Napoleon complex and am short
Fun fact: Even though Napoleon Complex is associated with insecurity about one's height, he was not short. He was 5'7'' or 174 cm.
I'm Oswald Klaven's best friend, aside from Robbie of course.
Even though I didn't have a scene in the movie, my name drop was SUBSTANTIAL
I earned the name Toucan by eating Froot Loops before every basketball/football game and track meet in high school. I'm also an OG, so the name came naturally.
It's my first day in the office and one of the associates told me to take this deck to a VP named Paul Allen, but I can't seem to find him. He must've gone to London or something has anyone seen him?

I represent the senior equity interest in a special purpose vehicle created for a limited partnership incorporated in the Cayman Islands. My sole general partner was a Houston, TX-based natural gas company which is no longer in operation. All my interest and assets are currently held under receivership by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Nice try buddy but cayman island LPs aren’t incorporated. I’m on to you.

A lot of people tell me that they think I "just get it". I do not understand a LOT of things. I just speak calmly about them and I magically become "polished"
seems pretty obvious on my end and im surprised this name wasn't taken
...long story
We've got time lol
I was in a search for a good user name for WSO, when this guy called Jack Soloff showed up while watching Suits the other day and I sort of thought it sounded quite nice.
People think I'm named Jake Paul after the social media/youtuber douche.
I actually take after Jacob "Jake" Paul, an advisor to the first LBO in history, that he pretty much spearheaded and figured out (advised McLean Industries in the 50s). Kohlberg and Kravis took after Paul years after, and most people here know how that went...
He doesn't get enough love as an innovator/pioneer here. I would've never heard of him without some obscure literature a professor mentioned my sophomore year of college.
I guess his approach was pretty rudimentary and improvisational, but still he made a huge mark on the game. My picture and signature are from a movie.
Just something random I made up
I grew up in a farming community, and now I'm in a banking community. Just a small reminder of a saying my dad always tells me: "you can't know where you're going unless you know where you came from."
It doesn't even seem close.

Some random dude's trading blog that claimed he would "arbitrage" according to CAPM
Me and a friend started trading crypto currencies a while back, was a lot of fun with the low barriers to entry and the high volatility ( I ended up breaking even after the meltdown in 2018 btw, learned a few lessons).
Anyway, we ironically (with a hint of unironic egoism) decided our enterprise needed a nickname that sounded finance-esque. We tried a few "hedge fun name generators" and the results were not bad, just cookie cutter. After some though I came up with Chrysos Clan Capital. Chrysos = Gold in Greek, it sounds cool, gold obviously as the symbol of money, wealth, prosperity. Clan = As in blood relation, both our families hail from the same part of the world and are part of the same clan. Barbaric, I know. "Capital" just topped off the name.
So here were are. I joined the forum, didn't want to use my name, thought the name I came up with was good, so I used it.
From Mad Men
Management at Dorsia knows me by name and I never have to worry about getting a table, even if its a Friday night
I single handedly devalued gold for decades
I like Jewelry
Favorite movie. Grew up outside Boston and must have watched it a hundred times. Senior year in high school took a public speaking class where we had to recite a monologue from any movie of choice. I did Will's 'Why shouldn't I work for the NSA'.
It's actually a really stupid username. When I was a kid I liked a game called xblaster for a while, so that was my username back then for a lot of sites. The '2000' is based on nothing special, just that at one of the sites the name 'xblaster' was already in use and 2000 was just something that came up. I didn't have inspiration for a better username, so I just that about this one.
the alien solar sail passing through our solar system
I read the book and I liked it. Straighttohell was taken so I added "xo"
I ... want ... to ... fit ... in
I use my name, but I make it shorter or use the first part of my surname
From Crooked Hillary to Rocket Man or Sloppy Steve, the POTUS never fails to deliver a quality nickname, which as we know, is just about the only meaningful content to come out of the White House thus far. I chose to dedicate my username to that milestone as a simple reminder that this is, in fact, reality - Donald Trump is our President. It’s remarkable, fascinating, and terrifying at the same time. Love him or hate him, we, the people, willingly and voluntarily put him in this seat. He’s OUR President. He’s our Tariff Man.
