    Sell side vs buy side, Evil vs good

    I just watched one of you guys teared to shreds on Wilmott. Ever seen the pitbuls there take PLEASURE in what they do to you? For the record, what's "sell side" and "buy side" once and for all? As I see it, sell side is beggars. Buy my prostitute services, me fuck you long time. Buy side is...

    Logical business

    Yeah, I know, a contradiction in terms. Check out SNL's "Star Trek Restaurant" here: Some of you know me some don't, if neither is present I'm counting at least on you making some similarities with your daily life regarding what I'll say in the following :) In few words I discovered some...

    Plan B

    newwurldmn I see I put you on ignore. In Soviet Russia this means you would have understood this joke: "What's the tallest building in Moscow?" "Lubyanka, you can see Siberia from it's basement". Thanks for your (ignored) comment.

    Plan B

    Lemme give you a few hints from my thoughts: it's the buy side that counts. #1 Buy side == the rich. Want that car? You buy it. Your kid falls ill? Best doctors / medicine / care for him. Which of the two jobs of selling cars or wiping the ass of sick kids you want? The doctor's one, of course...

    Plan B

    Speaking of A and Bs in school, what do you do when your plan of getting rich by trading as understood as gambling in the global financial markets casino fails? And not like after 1 or 2 years, but 12 in my case. Adding education on top of that I'm already 42, how much evidence do I need to...

    Careers in I.T.

    Well I sure hope at least my efforts are being noticed! Being latino-slavic-hungarian speaker of English is no longer enough in this bitch of a world and neither is being straight. Straight A that is, thus I admit I had my Bs now and then. One C that wish I told you I'm not proud of but I'd lie :)

    Careers in I.T.

    Your lack of grammar perceived from even the point of view of a latino-slavic-hungarian speaker of English makes me confident you'd have higher chances of getting hired adding "dislexia" to your list of skills. I'm being ironic and hopefully you realize it.

    Careers in I.T.

    On an amusing note, I also briefly met once a GENUINE (like no tricks, he really was a) black Hungarian jew, in the diversity world he's probably a 0.0001% likelihood of appearance. Maybe you can try that as an alternative (you're black, the rest can be arranged :)

    Careers in I.T.

    I know a guy working at Goldman Sachs and making close to a 7-figure salary. Key thing, he got a doctor's certificate for being autistic (of course, he's not). Why it matters? Because GS and the like have their "diversity quotas" to fill. Competition is fierce in all fields of IT but being...

    Sabbatical for 1y

    My current salary is north of $58,000. I'm employed since 18 years and my net savings account numbers $15,000. Although I already WORKED a million dollars in labor value, it'll take me 1200 years to get there effectively. So good luck to ya all, I'm taking a vacation from slavery work and for...

    Stupid PhD

    @ETJ: I'm in Eastern Europe. @Zithiel89: what the title may prove useful eventually is when and if I'll run my own hedge fund or at least managed accounts business (for marketing purposes).

    Other skills

    Took me 41 years to figure out: "If you lack essential skills that's no problem, just compensate. Like say compensate with T-34s. Just sayin'." Anywayza, after after getting my ass beaten over and over again trying to storm a position (The Occident) the usual way. Well, I, we, invented the...

    Stupid PhD

    I started my PhD... don't even remember when. Was a stupid idea inside of a stupid system and to all you listening for backpropagation ideas (aka "hindsight bias"): DON'T DO IT. Unless the system (environment, family, employer) allows for it, as they'd allow a prison inmate to take a piss or a...

    Removing the golden handcuffs

    Have no illusions, in Fan27 vs Major Hedge Fund the sucker is you. They aren't buying anything from you, they're trying to sell you something. With 99.99% certainty the deal is you bring them clients and get a commission on them, thus be a "partner". The effort is still 100% on you, they're...
