Has anyone heard of a firm called Kingfish Group? They’re a San Francisco-based PE Advisory firm and recently had a headhunter reach out inquiring about an associate position. From face-value they seem pretty credible given the current employee’s backgrounds on LinkedIn but I’ve found somewhat mixed reviews online. Any insight appreciated!

I mean, clients won’t pay for the information if they could just read about it in WSJ. Primary research for investment purposes is perfectly legal as long as you’re not asking about material, non public financial info on publicly traded companies

Primary research…isn’t that the purpose of an expert network? Wonder how this firm is different

Based on my limited interactions with them, they function as more of a full service expert network. That is they will source experts for you, but also play a role in synthesizing the information received from experts + try to place those experts on the boards of your companies. They directly target PE funds vs. solely sourcing experts for consulting firms

What was the most surprising thing you have learned throughout the process of your divorce?

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month. It was great and it seemed like the relationship was stronger than ever. But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?

2. Planning for a good certification- did SAFE product owner and all but kuch khas nai hai
3. Planning for a PHD ( part time ) not sure, not clear may be a good option as I can move to education line.
