I'll guess it avarages out to roughly 3-4 hours on weekdays and 10-20 over a weekend. I also love longform journalism, which can eat up a few hours per week. I do little in general haha :/ My own reclusiveness combined with a rela

This is pretty unrelated, but your post reminded me of the frustration I experienced during the housing crash. I bought my condo in 2006, essentially at the peak of the market - then was out of work for long time during the recession and ha

Thanks for sharing your experience and articulating this so well. I have been on the same dose of Ambien for nearly 2 years. I'm fortunate that it does its job with zero side effects. The negative experiences and feedback in this thr

I discuss the compensation range before the interview process begins (i.e. their resume preparation) only with candidates responding with interest to my initial contact. I make a leap in faith by sharing the company/job details in the

Yep, it sure is fascinating! Much of the world prefers riding the bubble to FOMO. The frothier it gets, the less need for and meaning held by useful indicators. It's human nature :/

I agree, but will go further to claim that the entire interview was horrible. So little information was conveyed in soo many words. He either had nothing to say, couldn't articulate what he had to say, or both.

That's a great start. I would suggest learning about big data, data science, machine learning. Depending on your city, you can find reputable and reasonably priced bootcamps. Otherwise, Coursera courses in any of these subjects would

The idea of this question being taken seriously is worrisome. These were the exact types of questions I saw made by entry level finance folks 10 years ago before the bubble popped. The level of immaturity, entitlement, and arrogance made
