For certain verticals (manufacturing and enterprise sales in particular), its non-trivial to expand faster than your revenue growth: manufacturing runs can require a lot of up-front capital, and B2B sales can often rely on scaling up a sa

I sorta agree. I don't think there's anything inherently awful about 100+ hour work weeks (in that I would never want to do them, but people know what they're getting into when they join a BAML internship), but anecdotally th

If you think this stuff is interesting from both a "what the hell is going on here" standpoint and a "no, really, what's it like in an investment bank?" standpoint, read Liar's Poker by Michael Lewis. It&#x2

I think the 'brand' problem people have with Medium is less "my post looks like the same as all of these other posts!" and more "when people want to read more of my posts, they're more inclined to go to medium.

Just signed up. This is literally exactly what I want. The only thing I'd add is that I hope at some point down the line there's some level of customization (even the ability to add an external stylesheet.) For this kind of th

Surprised to not see Moz on here: while I think they were technically a consultancy at first, their chief export for quite a few years came in the form of incredibly valuable blog posts. My favorite is the 91-point eCommerce conversion che
