In the startup world hugely. When you're running a startup your day-to-day life revolves around pricing models, conversion funnels, budgets, commission schemes, etc.
If you're not able to do mental calculations while in the middle of conversations/presentations you'll get left behind by everyone who can.
- kqr 11y agoI can imagine that. Me and my mom are of the calculating kind so when I visit over holidays it's not uncommon we sling a bunch of numbers back and forth over the dinner table to figure something out, and after we're done my dad and sister ask how we arrived at the third number from the first two. But in more "normal" social contexts, what tends to happen is one of the people involved sit with a digital calculator and input the things other people ask for. It's a bit slower, but the results are just as good.
