+1 good point. Assimilation is key typeshi
+1 . Monkey7521
+1 Dude relax spend time trying to be liked and also getting coffee and shit. those matter more and also practice old work as well.  nachocheese
+1 Your whole argument here is that there are almost no valuable AI use cases yet. That they're all empty promises about the future. And that the use cases that do exist today aren't that great. ojapar20

+1 Has anyone been able to get it to work well for actually modeling in excel? Big Chimp Sht 68
+1 Not really necessary in London (imo) unless you're aiming for a boutique or EB bank. Landed plenty of offers without having attended a single one. Yes, doesn't mean you should copy me - but isn't absolutely necessary. Analyst 1 in IB - Restr
