+1 I am begging you to read some fiction bro thegreatspoofing
+1 Nope, some of my favourite books of OAT have been french books, but I never attempted to learn French. Language flows well in English, but it could be different in French. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+1 Never too early to start. Always better to network before you actually need something. Learn what people are doing so you can speak the language better and understand where you fit. stephen4056

+1 Long term unsure what I want to do. I’m assuming realistically I’ll want to be in some sort of corporate finance role at a higher level. Cant see myself in client services forever. tej20013002
+1 larrysellersYou're safe Ozy, 4 unit brownstones in brooklyn can still be u/w on the back of a napkin. No AI needed. Ozymandia
+1 It makes sense, if you think about it. For the most part, these tools are black box predictive models based purely on probabilities. Banks always adopt slower. usernameladiesman217

+1 As much as the broccoli-haired analysts in this thread want to paint me as some sort of Luddite, I completely agree with "We will see dramatic change in our lifetimes. CRE

+1 Damn you’re so cool I hope I can be a bad boy like you one day! RevBuildRascal
+1 Anything Salman Rushdie or Toni Morrison.  tardyparty
+1 You think I am talking about sales of LLM tokens? I am talking about infrastructure utilization. That is a metric that is directly tied to expected value of the user. Is there a threshold where the cost exceeds the value? ioncewenttoschool
+1 The same minimalist bullshit that's corroding sports logos / jerseys. The two-tone blue is horrific but even the font simplification is unnecessary. flipcup
+1 Offering memos spell out the health of the market.  You gain market knowlege looking at historical trends. ioncewenttoschool

+1 75 people isn't small as far as restructuring consulting firms go. Associate 1 in Consulting
