Most analysts are nowhere near as good as they think. So unfortunately I have to do it. By the time they’re good they leave!

What exactly do you/people mean by modeling? Always been confused by that. Is it the operating model on a live deal or do you mean basic DCF/LBO/Accretion-dilution for say a pitchbook or bake-off? Given the frequency I’m assuming the latter?

Depends on timing typically. If there is adequate runway / typical love deal, I’ll let the analyst take a crack at it. If he or she sucks or there is a tight deadline, then I’ll hold the pen

So... Is no one single? 🤔

I need advice. I met an amazing guy on a dating app. We talked for 4 months and most of the convo was sexual. I fell so hard for him and it was because when we met up in person he was so kind, caring, and respectful towards me. He never initiated conversation with me first, but if I messaged him, he would respond back immediately. Then after 4 months he ghosted me on the app we were talking on. I texted him and he told me he had a gf. I am completely heartbroken. What kind of behavior was this?
