In the context of recruiting would flip through a bunch of CIMs and give yourself 30 minutes to tear down the business and think about whether you would invest in it. Also remarkably similar to interviews

Super helpful thanks!!!

There are literally hundreds of books where successful investors pour their thoughts into paper. Read a few and you will be on your way. You can start by reading compilations of warren buffet letters, for example.

What's the position you're interviewing for?

Start investing!

Are 0 DTE options a good start?
