Doesn’t answer your question but - Get on a gig. Best training in the world. If you have to train, become a student of your firm. Know how shit works, and get into the details. From tools to methodologies to how to play well in the sandbox of life

Don’t prioritize those trainings. Don’t be that guy

Obviously I’m trying to get billable and we’re forced to do the internal stuff. I’m talking about external/voluntary training

Design thinking, issue based problem solving, social styles - you know shit that will be applicable to anything and help you navigate client facing items - or you can advance some of your analysis toolkit’s like Power BI, Tableau, SQL etc

Posted about this a while back but didn’t get a definitive response. I have a bunch of Manhattan prep GMAT books from the past few years that have little to no writing in them. There’s probably 20 of them so pretty heavy but I’m looking to give this away to someone for free. Only thing is I asked for you to take all of them versus just a few. I live in downtown Manhattan near the stock exchange and hoping to give by the 24th. Thanks!

Celsius has been great (mainly for the amazing MATIC returns), but I think I will significantly reduce my holdings here.

My concern with this platform has always been how they're engaging in DeFi to make profits with customer funds. That's how they offer things like "no fees on withdrawals" and APY rates above the competition. MATIC is becoming to valuable to risk leaving on this platform.

Security wise though, I think they're great and have no concerns there.
