Hi there, have seen a lot of good content comparing consulting with IB/PF coming out of undergrad/lateral but not much for the post-MBA jump -- so wanted to ask my potential scenario. **For the infrastructure financiers out there, how would you advise the below situation?** **My background:** * ~10 YOE in various forms of consulting. Jumped around Big4 (with Structured Finance rotation), corporate, government in consulting-esque roles and am manager-level. * In last semester of M7 MBA. Did internships in renewable energy -- (1) investment team of major renewables developer (2) energy policy team of sovereign government * Have MBB offer in hand, mainly to pay off my big student debt....

I’m hoping for some brutally honest advice from people who’ve been through law school and are working in the field. Background: I’m 23, currently working as a paralegal and studying for the June LSAT. I have a public health degree (did pre-med track, completed all prerequisites) and an MPH. I pursued law because I’ve always been passionate about social justice and wanted to fight for people wronged by the system. My family pushed medicine hard, so law felt like finally choosing something for myself. The reality check: After a year of paralegal work, I’m having doubts. The day-to-day is a lot of desk work, reading, writing - I haven’t been in court or seen trial work yet, so may...

I spent 26 years letting other people define me. Parents, partners, bosses, random internet opinions. I moulded myself into whatever version they needed. Then I had a breakdown that forced me to ask: Who the **** am I when nobody's watching? Turns out most of us never actually figure that out. We're too busy performing. Society rewards conformity. Your brain craves approval. This combo creates adults who've never spent real time understanding their own values, triggers, or patterns. We just react. We people-please. We chase goals that aren't even ours. The good news? Self-mastery isn't some mystical thing. It's pattern recognition plus intentional action. And...

So, before SotO, I was a big-time ele (mainly weaver) main. When SotO came out with Mesmer Rifle and Chrono changes, I kind of hopped over to the purple class, as it always held a spot in my heart, but not in the meta from PoF onward. So, I kind of miss playing Ele a little bit. I've recently gone back to play the builds that are currently meta... and so many of them feel really lacklustre, old, un-fun, or one-sided. Here are my thoughts. Tempest: Tempest is in a weird spot. Firstly, the healing build is pretty niche, with lots of flaws and waiting time. As good as it is in some spots, these basics flaws make it less applicable than nearly any other Meta healer you can pick right now...

I (19M) am a college freshman. I have quite a few friends but neither do I hangout with anyone regularly nor am I very close to any of them. I'm not reclusive or 'against socializing', it's just that I don't have anyone here whom I like hanging out with (**** this ******* college and crowd). There's this party that's going to be thrown by some seniors next month at a club. There will be drinking and smoking, neither of which have I done before. I didn't go to parties in high school. There have been some other parties thrown for freshers' and on Halloween, etc. but I haven't gone to any of them (I regret not going to the former). I am perhaps...

Hey everyone, I’m looking for honest advice from people who’ve been in similar situations or can offer perspective. Background: I’m 23, graduated with a public health major while doing the pre-med track and completed all the prerequisites. I also have an MPH. Throughout college and grad school, I was pushed heavily toward medicine by family, which made me resistant to it. After finishing my MPH, I decided to pursue law instead - something I’d always been interested in but wasn’t allowed to explore. I’ve spent the past year working as a paralegal and studying for the LSAT (scheduled for June). The issue: Now that I’m actually in the legal field, I’m realizing it’s not what...

Hi, For background, I'm self-diagnosed AuDHD 29F from East Asia. I have official diagnosis of Sensory Processing Disorder from my home country back in early 2010. I have had both my BFA and MFA in America. Although my creative career has been recognized institutionally worldwide--I make absolutely no money from my artwork. I don't plan my artwork to be the source of money, if it happens that's great but it was never the direction I pursued. Hence, I have been living under poverty since starting my MFA just having my head barely above the water and it's been 6 years. I still get help from my parents which spirals me into shame and guilt since both my parents are basically...

Can CO2 from our own breath be used for our fish tank? I’m researching CO2 injecting and I won’t use the whole big CO2 tank set up. I was looking at natural methods and I’m confused on why no really suggests putting our own CO2 into the tank. Is it too little of an amount? Too much? I don’t think I’d need a lot of CO2 for my tank, I’m not looking for a light with crazy PAR.

Hey folks, working on some new Spatial Video apps and wanted to share this iPhone app called **"Slow Spatial"** which allows capturing Spatial Video in Slo-Mo (60fps-240fps) and also many speeds of Timelapse available. The app uses Apple's new on device ML processors for the frame interpolation and motion blur. We have been stuck with very few controls or tools for Spatial Video till now, this app makes it a lot more fun. On the AppStore here if you're interested: [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/slow-spatial/id6757937745](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/slow-spatial/id6757937745)

Yesterday I was watching a sequel to a movie that I had watched about 10 years ago. In the first movie, a guy and a girl in their early teens bond together over a common sport and there is no romance whatsover, not even a hint of it throughout the movie. They are both around 13 at the time. Fast forever to the sequel which takes place 5 years later, they are both in their late teens and are now adults, he's now a big shot, she's a reporter. Throughout the movie they don't interact much, there's no hint of anything and then suddenly in a scene they are walking together near a lake and they kiss. Why?? It is absolutely pointless to the plot of the sequel and it comes out o...

I just came out out of long transit or Saturn squaring Pluto and opposing mars and the everything everyone says about these transits are true. I also want to hear your experiences. From my experience Squares: Internal unless it involves the MC or 10th house Oppositions: You will see the affects in real life. The events are outside of you Saturn square pluto: Expect a lot of out of control changes and big transformations. What was weak will be exposed and crumble. For me when Saturn passed over my midheaven at a late degree of Aquarius and entered Pisces 10th house to square my natal Pluto in Sagittarius, my entire career life blew up. I was facing a LOT of issues at work very randomly...

This is why the city is broke. There are tons of cops making about $250-$300K. Most of it is from overtime. You can see their overtime pay is more than double their regular salaries. Here's an example from a random police sergeant in the list: Total pay: $308K Regular pay: $89K Overtime: $184K Other: $33K Fire department is making big money too, and a lot of it is from the back pay. There's plenty of them making about $400K! They also eat a lot of overtime, but not nearly as much as the cops. Do you think most of this money stays in Houston? Nah, most cops don't live in the communities they serve. They just bum off our tax money and infrastructure. When FIFA comes,...

Hey Pauper gamers, I'm here today to talk about a brew I've been working on for the last few months that I'm very excited about. The deck in question is [Temur Wildfires](https://moxfield.com/decks/fdvMvSr940SfM6yok25qZw). The initial idea for the deck was very simple. "I want to play Kenku Artificer and and Cleansing Wildfire in the same deck because they both are amazing with the indestructible bridge lands." I immediately knew this would have to be a 3 color deck so that I could maximize the number of bridges I could play, but I knew that I couldn't really go full affinity mode with the other non-indestructible artifact lands because Cleansing Wildfire needs...

I’m 56 year old female. I’ve done Cologuard twice (both negative results) but never had a colonoscopy. I’m a nurse so I know the importance, but I also know the risks. There is no history of cancer in my family. I have incredible, almost paralyzing anxiety about the prep, the IV and the anesthesia. I have a super gag reflex and I’ve never been able to take any medicine I can taste without gagging and vomiting. I can’t imagine getting through even a small portion of the prep. I’ve been reading stories here about Sutabs and wonder if that’s the prep I should ask for. I’m not a big water drinker but I think I could force it for a couple of days. I feel like I’d be in pani...

A wise man once said, "You can't hurry love. No, you'll just have to wait." I guess i am going to be doing lots of waiting because that's what im looking for and I haven't had much luck yet. One thing I should say is skip to the bottom to find out what I am looking for in a partner and what I'm like so you don't have to read a big wall of text to find out we might not be the best fit. I have been in a few online relationships and have had some okay luck online on here. That's why I haven't lost hope yet! I'm also a hopeless romantic so I yearn for someone to love. I'm in school currently. Definitely not too far in school especial...

"Bear with me please. Good morning. I just wanted to start off by acknowledging my wife, Kayla, who is not only the strongest person that I know, but a support system for me every bit as I am for her. Part of what I'm here to share is on behalf of the both of us. I will start off by thanking the Dodgers, Andrew Friedman, Brandon Gomes, Doc, the whole coaching staff and all of my teammates. The amount of support you have given Kay and I has been overwhelming in the best way. We are beyond grateful for this organization and this family. So many of you have stepped up and have been there for us in a big way over the past few months. It has meant the world to both Kay and I. "I&...

I want to share my experience of how switching majors in my MSc made me delusional enough to think I could learn anything, and that's why it was worth it for me to go through three years of ****. I hold a BSc in Electrical Engineering and an MSc in Mathematical Finance from one of Canada's top 10 universities. When I tell people this, the first question they ask me is why I switched from EE to Math. The main reason I chose EE as my major wasn't because I was interested in robots, or how electricity is produced, or was obsessed with electrical components, but because I LOVED mathematics but did not want to major in mathematics. The kind of mathematics I was interested in was ...

Hi all! Years ago, a friend gave me the Anhelo Maestro's Massacre commander precon deck, and I don't use it because I'm not excited about it. To that end, I've come up with this list. I'm pretty new to deck building- this is only my third deck that I've put real thought into. The general idea is to ramp hard and fast to big instant/sorceries that can either deal a lot of damage or put a lot of guys on the field, and copy them to make them insane. I don't really know anything about how mana curves should work or how to balance creature gen for sacking and removal. I did actually try this deck, playing three games against a friend with a pretty well optimize...
