Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:

"show me an athlete who did well academically."

"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."

talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.

same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.

@andreperrotta13 seems like the switch to 3-4 is all but guaranteed. interested to see which LB/CB fall to 72. Hoping they select Anthony Hill (doubt he'll drop there)

@biglawbro Take the plunge and start your own shop - you won’t regret it. It seems like you’ve got the juice, so you’ll rise to the top… best of luck

@SteelToeScribe People make mistakes even at $3000 per hour. Is it a bad mistake, yes. But the key line is “I take responsibility for the failure to do so…” - if you mess up, you take accountability, and you deal with the consequences.

Lawyers tend to be depressed bc they live their lives in 6 minute increments. The sales guy down the street is golfing at 11am on a Friday and making money while doing it. Your local lawyer can golf at 11am and then has to grind the desk till 10pm to make up for those billables they lost

@Holden_Culotta We are careening dangerously toward a Ready Player One future with no guard rail to protect us

@GusSaltonstall it was only a matter of time before that Pastrami Queen UWS went out of business - tried it one time and paid $30 for the most lackluster pastrami sandwich of my life. The market speaks!

@scottastevenson Smoke and mirrors always persist in the finance game. Almost as bad as NFL contracts - agents claiming they negotiated a 4 year $100mm deal when it’s really only guaranteed for one year. I don’t hate the player, I hate the game!

[Drew Jacobs @drewjacobs_]

@Wale win win bro. giants get to swing again on young talent, cincy gets best NT in the league for 3 yrs/$70mm.

Key to greatness is to visualize PROCESS - not outcome

One of the most interesting neuroscience reads I have ever consumed.

@SteelToeScribe @FabianSani8 It's not about who you know... it's about who knows you

[Drew Jacobs @drewjacobs_]

This is the big law blind spot. The old-guard cartel of partners has engineered a foolproof system where they are the victors and they reap all the spoils accordingly. The modern firm will incentivize enterprising juniors to sell the firm’s service and take their rightful piece of the action. I’m aware of several firms doing this and they all have high lawyer happiness. Sometimes you have to be willing to let go of your vice grip in order to receive the added benefits of productivity and loyalty

@SteelToeScribe @cyrusjohnson PAC man firms > hungry hungry hippo “murky middle” firms mired in a proverbial slog

[Drew Jacobs @drewjacobs_]

As a recovering chore lawyer who started my own firm right out of law school, I know how to avoid the murky middle. Unless you truly love sitting at your desk all day and servicing the chores of clients for the next 40+ years, the only hope of a life not bogged down by stress and anxiety of clients’ chores is becoming the most meritorious version of whichever side of the barbell you choose #JonConKnew

[Drew Jacobs @drewjacobs_]

You renounce chore law by following the barbell strategy of practicing law. The goal is having ridiculous merit. You can do that in two ways: 1) win the big law ladder game (extremely hard) or 2) ride the wave of tech in shaping the future of chore law (aka be able to handle an incredible amount of chores and develop playbooks and systems to automate the heck out of the chores to free up your time for more clients or more leisure). Path 2 seems most likely for your situation. Don’t get stuck in the murky middle! Good luck bro!

[Drew Jacobs @drewjacobs_]

@barstoolsports @hoopinghollerin this game is ridiculously banged up. the backward hat to player ratio is through the roof. and let's not pretend like we don't see the cop/security guard in the dress pants. and Zach Bryan dribbling like a kid who started playing basketball a few weeks ago at CYO practice.
