This reminds me of a joke from Woody Allen. He learned to speed read "War And Peace". When asked what's the book about? He said, "Russia".
You are not alone. I know how you feel. Was just laid off last month myself.
Several others in my company on H1B were also laid off- alto the company was "generous" enough to keep them on the books (at a token salary) for an additional 4 months to give them an extension while they look for work.
You are lucky to have a good spouse. Think about what you have. The market will come back- and you will find a job soon.
Your thought reminds me of Socrates' quote on how writing makes people not use their memory.
I thought he said he only had $100,000 USD to his name. /s
Beginning of 2022 or 2023?
Jane Street is huge in HFT space. SBF started at Jane Street.
I'd want locals to travel as efficiently as possible too- to get to their jobs.
Just wear a cap, shades, and a covid mask.
Is the MTA doing this at its subway turnstiles? Everyday I see people just walk thru the open gates or jump right thru without paying. I feel like a chump for paying.
You and me both. Please share the memo when you it.
Thanks for the submit. I learned something today. Roy Hertz wasn't bad either.
Here is my story that I need to pass on to the next generation. I was a kid a few years out of college- just joined a top tier investment bank. I was one of many IT guys. After I joined I found out I was in charge of cutting over each month's sales data to accounting. This sales data determined each month's commission traders send over to salespeople- so that feed was a few hundred salespeople's livelihood.
Well, the CFO that month had asked for some changes to the sales feed. And it was my first month on the job. I think I must've tried to put in the change requested- but came month end- I screwed up. At 5pm that day I raised my hand- literally for help. I had screwed up bad. That month's sales feed was un-usable. It had literally been rejected by the mainframe downstream.
My manager came over- and instead of placing blame- took over the situation. She made the calls to the downstream people- and asked that they take the same feed format from the previous month. Then I restored the previous month's program and resent the feed for that month again. She covered my ass to the CFO- and saved my hide.
She earned my respect that day- and my everlasting gratitude. From linked-in, I see today she is the CIO of one of the federal reserve banks in the US.
