Although Tokyo ranks among the most expensive real estate markets, I’d argue it’s comparable to many mid-size American cities, and deals can often be found on the cheap side, whereas the US has seen the floor on rental prices skyrocket in t

A lot of it is passion. The subject areas I think I am best at are ones that I care about so much that I can’t help but seek out all the information I can on them. When I talk to others about said subjects, I usually find that they don’t ca

Not everyone is at a startup. I’m a bartender with a physics degree who’s learning more math in my spare time for fun, and to eventually switch to some sort of data science career if I tire of bartending.
