+12 Per dick_fluid's comment below, I definitely think it could happen to anyone. idaho

+12 My situation is different to yours as I just finished my undergrad, but thought I'd share. _coco_

+12 This has been said before in other threads, but being a law or accounting partner has really nothing to do with a 9-5, job security, being promoted, or even your ability. It's all. About. Sales. I quit this site because of censorship

+12 I really debated posting this because I know that all that will happen is endless MS will rain down on me, but the article, for all intensive purposes, is extremely poorly written, and the author clearly did no research in Sil

+12 Hi there, Lizard Brain. Rest assured, I was not trying to bait you. The Uncontortionist
+12 It is highly relevant and you need to master the 'grunt work' if you are ever to be trusted with the higher value-add work. You need to show your senior team members that you can effectively do the small things first. Quaneaser
+12 Yeah it is unfortunate how powerful the media is relative to the quality of their product. jankynoname
+12 Trump: Listen, however long it takes, I would absolutely be faster and better than slow-job Hillary - if she did it right, Bill wouldn't have gone off looking elsewhere. I give the best, I mean it, THE best hand jobs. kanon
+12 I did have fairly high scores, however as far as I know math is really the only component that matters. Unfortunately, you really only have two options. lazy_overachiever
+12 "BobTheBaker" that's the thing, I'm fully confident in our system of checks & balances. Whoever wins won't really change much. Blank999
+12 Started in brokerage (ended up in development) and wouldn't do it differently, IMO. Ricky Rosay

+12 I think all of you are looking at history in the wrong context. Blank999
+12 Yes, because celebrity approval and performance is what the inauguration of a president is all about. Blank999
+12 "Do you guys think that freecollege education is possible?" "As a college student, I could only dream of no debt" Brosef Stalin17
+12 Wolf of wall street is not real life. Most places you will work are normal office environments. Work is work. It's regular life. StaphyBone
+12 Make it a ritual. Sounds weird, but it works. I sleep in running clothes with my shoes next to my bed. When I get up, I roll over, tie my shoes, and go. Takes the decision out of it. thexaspect
+12 I'll say this up front: I find "Gary Vee" and TED Talks overrated and annoying. 90% of what they and the other hucksters espouse is self-glorification at its most extreme. Anonymous Monkey
+12 Martin Wolf (you spell his name in two different ways in the same post) has been feverishly pushing a Neo-Keynesian agenda for years. Smart and well-connected guy but hardly objective when it comes to policy. Winnfield
+12 I'm going to mention Salt Lake--wait, wait, hear me out. No, the bar scene is absolutely not NYC/Chicago/London...but you don't move to SLC for that. You come for the outdoors. Pellinoor
+12 He's the leader of the free world and uses twitter to personally attack people who voice dissent about him, to vaguely and irresponsibly attack companies that he doesn't seem to know anything about, and to push fringe webs AllDay_028

+12 You can "let the model tumble" without actually trading the market. DeepLearning
+12 I'll be 31 soon and agree with all of this. I would just add that I've more recently realized just how nebulous the concept of "success" is. Hayek
+12 Kid from nontarget here. Really furious that you get these kind of opportunities and seem to take them lightly. 12 calls from Barclays!?!? xgozax
+12 I don't agree with demonizing and ostracizing the Muslims already in the US but there is no reason at all to invite foreign Muslims into our home. I quit this site because of censorship
+12 People forget to mention the importance of having a good are wife/husband (I don't mean marrying a millionaire) Options Market Maker
+12 I personally think Obama is a shit President, but reality is you need at least a couple decades to see how their policies have an impact. Blank999

+12 The game is very addictive and hard to win any serious money at. I would advise you to stay away if you have an at all addictive personality. LongandShortofit

+12 To summarize what others have said: Yes there is a gender pay gap. Masterz57
+12 Gents, takenotes08

+12 I am a guy and I could understand why people say things like that, but on the other hand, I can't help but wonder, is it too selfish to ask the woman/wife to automatically just give up her career/life and just focus on bei vikkk
+12 Here are my thoughts, hope some of these are helpful. WpgJets
+12 A few short thoughts: DidntReadAnything
+12 Given you're not a troll, it's hideous and superficial that you created an account just to ask this, who raised you to think like that? Xiiixiii
+12 You need to consider which program will have the best reputation back in China (I am making an assumption here). I would think that Columbia is the more respected band. Blank999
+12 Whatever you do, don't mention that your dream job would have been in IB. I'm sure you already know that, though. When you review your technicals, don't just build a model, go "done", and move on. Sil
+12 lots of things to be worried about IMO... SLIM
+12 "therealgekko" Brutal truth and you may dislike me for this, but even if you don't believe it, at least hear it; there is little hope. Whiskey5
+12 I answered the same question on Quora in 2015. Got 37 upvotes, woo hoo! Here it is for anyone interested. Is a salary of 500K USD, including food expenses, etc., enough money to live in NY? eblofeld

+12 Ooooh, we got a compliant dumbass over here. So full of shit. My Name is Jeff
+12 I think the easiest way to get actual data on this (versus listen to WSO speculate) is to find a list of BDCs and look at their proxy statements to determine some comp #s. ConsultingQuant
+12 I'm pretty much with you OP, though I think it's less about working in finance and more about the % of your life decisions that are approached rationally (I'd hope the two are positively correlated). The Stranger
+12 the CFOs we've worked with have described their role as this: you have the obvious functions like overseeing reporting, accounting, etc. but it really depends on the organization. thebrofessor
+12 I always love how quickly the left's bleeding heart platform breaks down to a pure economics "lettuce will be $20/head if there aren't Mexicans to pick it?!". Blank999
+12 There is not a lack of opportunity for business/accounting majors (see below). The Stranger
+12 Other things need to be resolved prior to the athletes being paid. DeepLearning

+12 It will probably make for an unpopular first comment, but here it is: although the show has good entertainment value, almost everything is so over the top that it's ridiculous sometimes. Bruvver
+12 Yeah it looks funny but you can´t really blame him besides some of the stupid things he says. jordan25
+12 It depends on who is running the project, and what type of project it is. I suspect strategy projects will become increasingly quantitative. DeloitteSandO

+12 Dying breed in quantity, hopefully not in quality. macro bruin
+12 Maybe it is how you see things. If you change the way you look at things, it might be a bit better. A good example would be this. Naoki Hanzawa

+12 You're in a tough spot. APAE
+12 The profit margins are poor, but Amazon has a huge logistics advantage that they'll leverage to improve those margins. BillyAckman

+12 One piece of feedback that I got early on in my analyst program was that good analysts "take ownership" of whatever project they are working on. Spin Control
+12 The strategy consultant CEO with a degree in management and 0 experience is my favorite. Also, incoming "anything" is a major peeve. Ehmerica

+12 Did you just compare Ball to John Wall/ Harden? WTF.... this is absolutely ridiculous. BobTheBaker
+12 Adopt a system like the one in Canada. Private firms get certified to do airport security. They need to hit certain efficiency figures to remain hired. If they fail they are replaced. Blank999
+12 Update: Today was the meeting. Waking up this morning, I knew today would be a relief… this was an incredibly rough week. I often found myself waking up in the middle of the night with cold sweats. Johnny Peppers
+12 I think Amazon as a business is incredible but I agree with you that as an investment those multiples will most likely contract at some point, the million dollar question is how and when. Secyh62
