has the hype finally peaked? We're seeing a shift from blanket enthusiasm to a more cautious approach. Are we nearing the burst of the AI bubble, or is this just a healthy correction? More importantly, can AI-focused companies actually deliver sustainable profits, or is it all still speculation?

I've been with my gf for almost 6 months now. For context she's still in grad school (we have a 2 year age gap) and I'm struggling to feel physically attracted to her. I have a good job, decent amounts of stress, I like to work out, spend time with friends, and am very outgoing. She's super sweet, kind, sensitive, and brilliant. I find her attractive but I find the fact that she's always up in my business and available to me unattractive. She also just got an amazing job in another state (1/2)

Anyone know of any openings within private equity firms? Fully licensed and working in Wealth Management for a large Financial Institution. Finishing up my MBA with a focus in mergers & acquisitions.

I’m sure it’ll vary depending on the specific terms of the agreement and ethos of the fund, but generally / anecdotally what would cost you to lose a VESTED carry? E.g. what if you leave to a competitor even when respecting the gardening leave / non poaching etc? What if you are let go for underperformance (but haven’t breached any rules / done anything unethical etc). Or what if you’re let go simply due to eg the fund reducing headcount or your team?

In private equity, how much money does each type of role at the firm make relative to one another? I know overall compensation varies with fund performance, I just wonder how the comp levels vary between the tech team, investor relations, the accounting team, the deal team, the portfolio monitoring team, the operations team etc. How does each team stack up against each other in pay? If you think of any other teams please feel free to include them.
