What’s a finance metric that gets overemphasized? I’d argue short-term margin without context can drive poor long-term decisions.

People often read great importance in quarterly earnings numbers. Part of that is because earnings calls have become a form of show business, with people on CNBC talking about the calls like they're new Marvel films. That encourages short term thinking that probably harms a lot of companies that would benefit from longer term thinking.

Couldn’t agree more.

Not really a metric, but I agree looking at too much short term without long term context can give leadership a myopic outlook on performance

Same here

For sure. We pushed margin this year and ended up losing customers bc of high prices. On the other hand, I think DIO didn’t get enough attention.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

Going through a lot of mixed emotions. Almost feels like my anxiety levels are on the rise. I used to think I can manage stress very well, but that belief seems to be fading away.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
