Hey sorry not related but curious - how was Amy Cooper viewed upon at Franklin Templeton? Were people happy that she left?

Very important. Helps us understand how much we can pay, how much debt the business can support, and deeply understand what operational levers we can pull should things start to go south.

We can see what the “doomsday” scenario looks like and determine if the risks found in due diligence are digestible.

It gives confidence in earnings projection which is a good part in every investment case

30% modelling but you have to get the call correct that's through historical correlations future trends etc alot of reading goes into it which help you determine the inputs to your model. Your research is part of the modelling process but a financial model certainly gives you an a good idea of what can go wrong etc

Does anyone know the answer to this? - My first mortgage statement was generated on 11/2 with a due date of 12/1 and includes a month of interest based on the balance on 11/2. I made a principle only payment on 11/14 of $500 which was applied right away. Will the interest automatically recalc to reflect a lower outstanding balance for a portion of the month? I plan to do this every month.

Hello Fishes,

I work as an ML Engineer with YoE<1, I basically spend my day writing production level code (read MlOps) for data science products.

I am involved in the pure Data Science aspects as well e.g. coming up with the algorithms and pitching novelties and all.
I want to shift to pure Data Science. The reason they picked me cuz I was good in coding and I didn't have any better offers and the time of joining. I have a bachelor's in stats and masters in data science. Any suggestions?
