Glad that someone posted this. I tried to use Bluemix to prototype some stock market AI thing... I spent a few weekend nights playing with it. Frankly, I didn't find Bluemix or Watson any more capable than myself. Of course, I then rec

The USA has already started a long-term decline. Peak was 1998/1999 if you go by peak productivity and real GDP/capita. Unfortunately, not much can be done. We're in a situation similar to that of the British Empire prior to

I worked at a hedge fund for 4 years, and these math questions are irrelevant to market structure. Based on the challenge of most of these questions, I would hazard a guess and say only very recent grads would be able complete these. I&#x27

People forget that companies like Groupon and Zynga are still real businesses. Both are still $1B+ market caps. As someone who went to both IPO lunches, it was a wild time. Throw Renren, and several other companies from that time period int

This is hilarious. 20 years late? Nothing to see here, move along. WhitneyLand is correct.

You know what? I worked for a large tech company (unnamed) a few years ago. There were tons of old people who viewed the younger folks in contempt. It can happen both ways.

Active investing serves a valuable purpose. 10 years ago, everyone wanted to be in the hedge fund industry. Today, it's tech startups. Having worked in both fields, you encounter the same folks running from funds to startups. Hedge fun

This is like the late 90s. Startup bubble. The world is moving to EVs. Not sure how this is a tech startup?

I interviewed for a very senior finance role at a public company a few days ago. The entire group of analysts and managers is based in a southern US state, while the executive team resides in NYC. Pretty crazy, but makes sense from a busine

I think it's important to always have "ideas" handy just in case things go awry at work. We're likely in a shallow recession right now. 260,000 layoffs in the the industry can send ripple effects to other parts of the ec

The worst part after a commute is coming into an open office. People sneezing, coughing, talking. But, that topic requires another completely different article. :)

VC money is stupid. Mark Cuban took VC money at the very last minute. The latest incarnation of VC-backed tech companies leave very little for the founding members.

Boston fell off the map. Whatever happened? It seems like New York, Bay Area, and Austin, TX have become the three large Internet/App tech hubs.

I work at Zynga... The office building is awesome. The amenities at Zynga are still some of the best in the Bay Area. Awesome gym, large basement arcade, and snacks everywhere.

Several SF tech companies have been polluted by former investment bankers. I presume pushing paper and face time have become even more important.

They have $100B in cash... They can make one or two transformative acquisitions. All this doom and gloom a decade ago was a great chance to pick up a delicious dividend paying stock.

Did anyone check out netflix? You can really see salaries spike in 2012/2013 time frame. Is this due to the massive wave of VC-fund companies now competing for talent?

The university is not dead. People who are going to inferior schools want to make this logic a fact.

I interviewed here, and it was by far among some of the best group of people I've ever met. I think some of the HR people are a bit rough, but the teams that contribute to the bottom line are top notch.
