@signulll Great advice and effective interview technique. Give a scenario where you know what the ideal candidate should do and then ask them to explain how they would approach it.

@texasrunnerDFW Neiman Marcus was from another time. Which turned out to be the problem.

20+ years ago when I was an IB analyst I used to look at the work we were doing and wonder why someone hadn’t automated the entire thing. It would seem so easy, I thought. When FactSet came along, comps became largely automated but still took checking. My 22 year old self wouldn’t have believed it would take this long to finish off the rest of the job.

Go sit in a crowded ER for a couple hours. You’ll be motivated to eat better, exercise and do whatever it takes to avoid having to come back as a patient.

@PretentiousT10 @signulll Sort of kidding but not really. Agree with you

@Vinny_Daniel0 Is this something you asked for or is he sitting on refresh to try to shock you?

The 30y mortgage rate was last at 3% in Nov 2021. Since then homes in the US are up an avg ~20%. This means you could have bought a $500k house with $100k down and $1700/mo P&I. Today that house is $600k and requires $120k and $3400/mo (at 7.58%). If you still only have $100k and $1700/mo you’re now shopping in the $300-340k area.
