Partners or the client and neither have imagination

80% of the project names I’ve worked on have been closed by partners

Omg I love project names. I think it’s hysterical and spend a lot of time trying to figure out if there’s a reason for them or if people are quirky. The worst ones are the best ones - and ideal if they’re more than 3 syllables and difficult to pronounce.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients.

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Background check question. Had a grad school project on my resume with a company. Project was 8 months work with company and 3 months of prep training. This was considered a volunteer role and I have no W2s or anything associated.

Q1 is this kosher to list 11 months?

Guys, I am APHR certified and practiced Organization Development for several years and I still had problems getting a new job after migrating to the USA.

This will lead to new skill sets which will lead into more experience.

Can someone legitimately explain to why bankers take so long to come up with LBO models on the financing side, and refuse to allow us to review them in detail? We provide preliminary feasibility analysis on loans on so many deals and the difference of what the bank comes up with is always minimal, but always takes a month? Can anyone walk me through what happens on the other side? It tends to be very frustrating.
