+23 don't think that counts as validation of your advice. This is similar to saying "I'm qualified to give advice to entrepreneurs because I've never had a failed start up", when you've never run a start up el bee oh
+23 Most people who are at least moderately self-aware go through the doldrums of mid-to-late 20s so you’re not alone. iggs99988

+23 I feel like there are a lot of threads on this but CVP is “tier 1” EB and only other EB that really “outclasses” it is EVR. PJT is great as well but would argue that their M&A practice is in-line with CVP. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A

+23 Everyone has to start somewhere. Directing him to Google isn't too kind. APAE
+23 Please. If it was Breitbart, nobody would be screaming "the attack on First Amendment". If Gawker went out of business simply because of legal cost (while winning the lawsuit), I guess people can point fingers to Thiel. Iamyourfather
