Investment Banking VPs be like:
You don’t hate these goofball twitter entrepreneurs enough. Will say stuff like this and then have an absolute meltdown when someone mentions working capital.
Me when an associate asks me a gotcha question in the investment committee meeting
I can only think of one person who may be both willing and able to buy this thing:
New Jaguar concept released. Not my cup of tea, maybe too much pink. Interesting target demographic being priced at $130k USD. But what do I know?
Anybody else with a ThinkPad that has a useful life of ~30 days? These things literally work properly for a month and then they just get nuked.
Kamala looks worse than an old catcher’s mitt in her concession speech. Can’t imagine what 4 years in the top chair would’ve been like.
I should’ve gone into real estate.
Just cold called the owner of a big company. Set a meeting. Called him "Scott" three times in my follow-up email. He writes back to remind me his first name is Steve. i'M a pRoFeSsIoNaL 🙃
Why does Watson look like he’s about to take a manufacturing conglomerate private, put in $0 equity, and take a fat dividend at closing by sale leaseback-ing all of the plants?
Not all heros wear capes. This man is doing the Lord’s work in 28D.
Why do hotels always include some BS little roasted tomatoes with breakfast? Who is asking for this and who decided it was a good idea?
If you think that you’d be a professional athlete if your dad was a billionaire you are very wrong. If you were even close you’d know just how wrong you are, but you’re so far away from being a professional athlete that you can’t comprehend how far away you are.
This is the beauty of sports: a billionaire daughter achieving extreme personal success and it’s all by herself and 100% deserved Sure, she might have had a lot of factors helping her out, but sports are the perfect meritocracy: - Money can’t buy thousands of hours of practice…
A beautiful Thursday Night on the College Campus. What’s missing? Children
A beautiful Saturday in the City. What’s missing? Children
If Country Club Snob got even one man to retire his grommeted Master’s towel (gift from a friend), to think twice about buying a block letter hat, to say yes to one more golf trip, to buy beer from the course instead of sneaking it in… Then he did his job.
The @sweetgreen customer experience is so bad it’s honestly insane. I can’t imagine a situation where these things persist through a recession or push into non-major MSAs.
Does Spotify have different fee share with certain artists? I’ll play a song from a group with an extremely large catalog, and after it goes into “radio” it’s like one out of every ten songs is the original artist. Feels like they’re steering me to groups they make more on.
To the birdies that can be, unburdened by the bogeys that have been.
Do people actually believe that Nelly could hang with Scottie in a “The Match” style event?
The most pressing, important and valuable work I’m doing at any given time is more than likely housed in a file titled “Book3 (version 1) - AutoRecoved”
