“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
I went to Vegas and won $5,000 in Texas Hold Em so I put it on my resume to show I don't have shit for brains when it comes to decision making. I think if you've made money from poker it shows that you don't let emotions get to you.
Good luck!
Some top finance guys like David Einhorn and Bill Perkins both play a ton of poker, and there are hedge funds that hire ex professional poker players for their analytical abilities. However, the downside to putting poker on a resume is that the company doesn't know if you're a degenerate gambler who's poker playing takes away from attention at work or a winning player who effectively moderates the amount of time he plays. I play a ton of poker but in the end I wouldn't list it on a resume for an entry level position. If you've been working for 1-2 years however and have demonstrated that poker doesn't detract from your work then I would put it on, especially if I'm trying to work in a HF.
Yep, definitely have watched episodes of Poker after Dark with them (btw pretty sure Bill Perkins donates any winnings he gets from poker to charity, kind of wild) - and yeah, the downsides you mention is exactly what I viewed wrong with putting poker on my resume. But gotcha, makes sense that you could put it on a couple years after working.
the man has essentially infinite wealth, it's not that wild
edit: turns out he has 60m, not a billionaire like i thought. still rich as fuck and i stand by the "not that wild" comment
unreal how much different you play when you can’t keep the winnings but you’re on hook for losses.
I think that adding such things in the resume would be quite interesting because HR would be pleased to see such a person. Actually, I'm a gambler too. I gambled for almost ten years. I passed the psychological addiction that helped me to understand the other border of the non-addictive process. Personally, I remember how I wanted to find the golden middle in gambling, and the way I see it, I choose the right way. My way of life is gambling only on legit casinos that have reputable standing on the online casino market. These https://playincasino.online</a">top 5 online casinos for money is a good option that helps me to get a good profit without a big loss. The thing is that legit casino is the best option in order to get the money during the difficult problems that happen in the states..
I had it on mine during recruiting and had a friend list a different card game. We both had no issues so don’t think it’s viewed negatively.
Put it. I have always had Texas Hold 'Em on mine and never ran into any sort of issue. Way more interesting that "reading, surfing, investing" that 99% of people put these days.
Got a banking gig and PE gig with it on my resume, think it helped in interviews and have had a couple conversations about it
Guys, advise me a site where you can play poker, otherwise I got bored in quarantine.
I think it's not worth talking about this in your resume because, in this way, you can scare the company's management away from you. They understand that you are gambling addicted and will not deal with you. When I was interviewing for a programmer job, I saw one guy tell the management about it. They immediately rejected his resume and his candidacy. For example, I like to play poker on weekends, or even put a small bet on vwin, but I never tell anyone about it. Only a couple of friends know about my hobby.
