Chase payments constantly from the START. Make it the norm that you must get paid on time. People will often defer payment if you don't push them. If you can help it, try and get paid in advance - at my firm, clients must pay for the

Just by feel. I will miss a spot now and again but can sort it out by using a mirror.

I'm the same. Just shave in the shower with a bit of soap. Seems to work well, as long as there isn't too much of a beard.

Wow, it was a simplistic passing metaphor. I was not expecting to get into the complexities of physics, but simply that if you operate at a more fundamental level, you can generally address a greater range of problems.

by osrec 7y ago
The more fundamental you go, the lesser number of things you need to form a "complete set". Thus, whatever the complete set is for subatomic particles, it will most certainly have lesser members than for the complete set of atoms.

Let's say you gave me an atom. In this situation, you can't create other atoms. When you give me protons, electrons and neutrons, I can create any atom I like, in addition to anything else in the universe. Thus, when you give me a

It supports so many use cases primarily because of the small number of fundamental "constructs". I mean, if I gave you protons, electrons and neutrons, you could build the universe out of them!

But from mainly fruits? I think that would be rather difficult.

Especially Safari on iOS. It infuriates me that we still don't have a push notifications API, nor a roadmap for when it may be included.

Haha, often true. We're a critical bunch :p

We just installed a chat widget on https://usebx.com and can confirm that it not only helps conversions, but has become the main support channel. I personally never found them too annoying, but hesitated to add one to our land

I believe they've started the taxation in some sense. I can no longer drive my old diesel car in London without paying £18 per day for the privilege. That's enough to make me never want to drive it in central London.

Correct, they're on under 60k for the year.

I don't think it's even that tbh - I mean, they are hardly standard in anything. Their business works because they realise the world is big, so they focus on sales. They are amazing at selling their rubbish to anyone and everyone

Accenture - I'm the OP at the top of this thread, still referring to the same family member!
801.
by osrec 8y ago
I hired Accenture while I was an MD at an investment bank for a data migration project. I was convinced by another MD who used to work for Accenture. Anyway, we spent about £15m over a year, with literally no results to show for it. I was l

Yes - crazy, isn't it?!

by osrec 8y ago
Yeah, that's probably true. My family member is often billed as a "senior python engineer" at 2k GBP per day, yet they've only been using python for 6 months, have no programming background, and are just not very technic

A close family member works for Accenture. Don't think I've ever seen them complete a project successfully...

by osrec 8y ago
I eventually became an MD. Yes I was always "on", but once I figured out the tricks, I didn't do very much real work at all. It was more about not rocking the boat, and keeping a nice set of senior allies who could support me

If you work in a large corporate, people will complain, especially if you get this done. It sorta highlights the inefficiencies of the punctual, yet less productive employees, and they don't like it.

Was your experience as a junior? I concur that this can often be the routine for junior team members, who get sold a false sense of importance for the work they do. Rarely is this the routine for senior team members. Many of the most senior

I too was one of those unhealthy looking, overworked bankers. I was promoted at a young age and had a lot to prove, so I overdid it for a year or two. Then I understood the secret the other MDs had known for years - you just have to look bu

I agree with you. Interns and analysts run the banks. They really are made to slog it out. It's the VPs, Ds and MDs that claim to work a lot, but many don't actually (thanks to the interns).

Investment bankers will often claim this, while also lying about their salary. I was often surprised by my colleagues claiming extra long work weeks, all while looking remarkable fresh. I couldn't work it out - I mean, if I worked a so
