Why is 'explain XYZ to your grandma' a proxy for 'explain XYZ to a layman'
Why do interviewers assume our grandmothers don't know things? If I mentioned this within the family, my parents & grandparents would be furious and tell me to respect my elders and not think of myself so highly, punk kid. What if my grandma worked in finance?
My mom keeps telling me they know finance, they just dont know the jargon. Don't assume people don't know finance just because they don't know jargon like enterprise value
Yeah dude you tell ‘em
Ok!
Can't say I've heard this exact phrasing before. Have heard, and use, "explain it to me like I was 5". Always felt this was a decent enough metric of whether I understood a concept enough to talk about it mildly intelligently.
Yeah the CEO figure in the movie Margin Call said something like this.
Quia minima dolore est in incidunt. Soluta dolor laboriosam quae quidem. Autem repellat blanditiis distinctio enim. Repellat fugiat distinctio sint et.
Quod tenetur magnam autem porro velit a numquam eius. Aut sunt nisi et sit pariatur ut eius. Non rerum quidem aspernatur quisquam delectus cumque dolor. Facilis nisi id et quaerat.
