CS easy if you are good at it. Can probably find some of the best pay to WLB ratio of any profession in CS

Day man or magnets?

I much rather pick FDD over CS because honestly, i really can’t stare at code for 12 hours a day even if you are paying me more.

Everyone likes to say CS because you see all these exorbitant FAANG salaries, but not everyone gets them. Literally different worlds.

My friends and girlfriend are engineers at FAANG. Depends on the team but it’s definitely not 9-5. My friends routinely work till like 7-8pm and sometimes Amazon is even worse.

You Can’t compare excel to coding.

How much do you tend to spend?

Hey everyone. I’ve got an interview coming up for Lead advisory (M&A). I really want the job. They’ve given me a case study with a company (no data just a website) and asked me to prepare a two page report on the company for a partner who is going to help a PE firm that owns the company with the sell side mandate. They’ve said to include industry, strategy, operations, financials and other relevant info. Any tips on what I should include in each heading and how I can stand out?
