InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well from what I know about your resume and intellect you could easily slide into one of our Portfolio Manager roles. You'd mange money, and as far as I can tell the job is as easy to the good ones as mine is to me. Only problem is dealing with big bank bullshit. We also have analysts and shit like hat but you'd have to be in New York for that. But just client manger, putting people in diversified portfolios and monitoring risk to trusts, we have offices in a ton of cities. And the pay is probably starting at 75, but you might get 80 or 85 depending on the city. I kind of do similar work now, which would help, but is it really not a requirement to have a CFA? I do not care one bit about being an analyst or anything, and NY is not a goal. Link to post Share on other sites
Essay21 2,385 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Some of the PMs don't have CFAs, but some do. Only three of the 15 trust officers have JDs, and I'm the only one with an LLM. Which should further highlight the ridiculous nature of my formers assistants employment. Link to post Share on other sites
Theraflu 1,035 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 My boss' last day was today. Great boss, will be missed. I put in for the position, but I'm only like 65% qualified. Seems unlikely. He was making 105k, but he'd been there for 25 years, so I put in at 80k b/c I literally don't know almost half the job. On the plus side, he does strongly vouch for me, but his opinion probably carries like 5% weight. Of course, if they hire someone awful, then the 3 people in the department might all leave, leaving the new hire super ****ed, since they most likely won't know the software or payroll or anything. Should be a fun couple weeks! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Which should further highlight the ridiculous nature of my formers assistants employment. I could do the job of a PM, as you describe it. I have been the investments point person for several households over the last few years, and am getting better at sitting in reviews in the PM role. The one thing is that my title isn't currently PM, but I think I can get it after I pass the CFP, be that in the next few days, or in November (god I hope not). Not that I am actually going to start applying for jobs or anything. I have been through what your employer did to your assistant, and I probably would have found another job after snub #2. I found a different role in the company after snub #1, actually. Link to post Share on other sites
InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I know we talked about DryShips here years ago... it has come to light that management basically used market manipulation to raise cash to keep operations going. Everyone that had equity prior to the share issuance and reverse split shenanigans has been wiped out. There's an article about it on the WSJ, super interesting, but unfortunately it's behind a paywall. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Decided to start taking shots at 2.50/5 recently. It's not that I was't rolled for it...but think I just needed to regain some confidence at lower stakes. Anyway, been on quite a sweet heater to start off there...+3700 in about 7 hours. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

InternetExplorer 2,609 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I talked to HR about it today, kind of just making a general point, not asking them to take action. It's stupid, I don't know where the boundaries are and don't care enough to make an issue out of it. He would be annoyed and I actually like the guy. Passed the exam BTW.

brvheart 1,752 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 awesome! well done, Strat. Thanks for lookin' out on the article. I miss the days when I owned SBLK. It went from .40 to $10 very recently. I'm sad I sold it when I did. Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 The math tutoring center where I work keeps the temp at 75. I tend to get decently hot having to wear a knit shirt and khakis at that temp, so I usually turn it down. I usually go to 73, but the other day another instructor went down to 72 and the owner got upset when he saw it and said it shouldn't be set below 74. Oh, also, the boss decided to put me in the center of a shouting match with a customer today. Link to post Share on other sites
Napa_Don 688 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Our thermostats are set at 75 but obviously it is not well DISTRIBUTED. My boss talked me into putting some owner/employee balance data on a report I prepared last week and then he got called out on it being included in a meeting yesterday and then today he told me that it was bullshit and he would have me do it again and to not worry about it. Which makes me feel better because I was feeling pretty shitty about it for a few hours after the fact yesterday. I even wrote "i f'd up big" in my meeting notes. Link to post Share on other sites
