>2nd interview
>"I'm going to speak with the staff and see which accounts we can get you started on"
>We'll contact you by the weekend
>Friday, here nothing
>Send Recruiter and email checking in
>"Sorry, it's been hectic in the office so there's no movement as of yet"
The second interview was 8 days ago. Why am I being dicked around like this?
What do you think, btw? Should I write this potential job off or is there still hope?

I own a small business and college it starting next week. I can manage both fine and I don't know why I'm so stressed right now, but I am.
I don't even think college is worth it for me. It's a community college but still I think it would be a waste of time and money that I could be putting into my business. I keep telling myself that college would be a "fallback" or that an MBA would be useful, but I'm seriously starting to doubt it.
I really have no "interests" or "passion" that a degree would get me closer to, I enjoy running my business and shopping for new items to sell. It pays the bills and I have a flexible schedule and about the same stress level as a minimum wage job, which I like. I want to expand and have the know how to do this, but I don't think an MBA in Entrepreneurship is going to give me that.
If I get the MBA and then continue with my business after graduating, I'm not sure if people will hire with that kind of gap between college and applying.

nah people will be fine with a resume gap if you can show you were running a business just learn how to write it into your resume
dont not get the degree its such a big deal, so many places wont even look at you without it, its so much easier to finish it now and have it than have to go back and start again several years down the road

Where do you find a job? Websites (which ones)? Mailing lists (which ones)? The newspaper? Your university's listings? A job center?

Monster was a joke.
Honestly, I get more leads from LinkedIn than anywhere else by a wide margin. But that's a more passive approach. Always seemed like the harder I tried to find a job, the more difficult it got. YMMV.

>>1065262
Go to an agency. if you're better then their staff at this tall them to hire you. otherwise take what you're given and if you don't like it you can look for a better job later

networking. Every job I've gotten (post college) has come from knowing someone on the inside. they'd rather interview two people that have references inside the company than sift through 50 bajillion resumes.

Yes they are. It's just that this board is a containment board for them.

a handful of penny stocks have some legitimacy on paper and actual underlying assets, however little or few. crypto currencies dont even have that going for them

I would argue that bitcoin isn't as it has a legitimate use in supporting illegitimate businesses on the deep web. I haven't seen anything special in any of the others though. To be perfectly honest I haven't even seen anything common about any of the others. They're just asinine attempts to steal market share from something that most people don't even understand let alone use.

I'm fairly certain these "funds" are just memes.
Don't the vast majority of them not even beat the market and yet charge exuberant fees?

Go short Deutsche Bank instead, they are probably sitting on 20B in losses.

Bad idea

No one in their right mind would sell you btc if you offer paypal.
If they are selling btc for paypal its almost certainly a scam.
The only way is cash of bank transfer western union or earning them for doing work.
Or signing up for an exchange and waiting to be KYC verified

So are we in a fucking recession or not?
I remember a week or two ago when Goldman Sachs released that statement saying we entered another recession and then retracted it. And then nothing since.

Yeah, lets take advice for goldman sachs. I'm sure they won't profit off our panic.
>>
>>1064695
I have no idea.
I think every government is just cooking the books until WW3 which will correct the global economy.

This is the second of 3 quarters in a row needed to declare recession. Right around May/June it will become offical. I expect oil to be right around 23 a barrel at that point, and the dow to be flirting with low 16000
>BIG employers are going cold on university degrees, leaving students and jobseekers to wonder if their qualifications are worth the investment and extra study.
>This week, international publishing house Penguin Random House decided to drop degrees as a requirement for job applicants, following in the footsteps of major consulting firms Ernst and Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
>The move comes as smaller employers are shifting away from hiring graduates or university students, believing kids are coming out of university with “no real skills” or simply being taught the wrong things.
>Meanwhile, soft skills, such as being personable, adaptable, possessing strong digital skills, and adept at time management are being increasingly valued.
>Maggie Stilwell, managing partner for talent at Ernst and Young, which did away with academic and education details in its application process, said the new recruiting strategy would “open up opportunities or talented individuals regardless of their background and provide greater access to the profession”.
>Graduates were showing up to work with degrees from universities but were “disconnected with the workforce”, she said.
>“A number of our members consistently tell us they’re seeing students come out of university or training programs and they might have the academic or theoretical skills, but no skills to work at all. It makes them really hard to employ,” she said.
>“General issues are not understanding that a job is about turning up on time every day, not just when you feel like, that it’s about taking direction, and basic things like you’ve got to be well presented and you’ve got to be pleasant.”
Thoughts on this? I already have my master's degree and 7 years of work experience so it doesn't impact me much. I wonder if any of the younger people here have seen a big shift in hiring trends.

You give it to them. No gift tax in Australia.
You know, you could have googled that, the ATO spells it out.
>>
>>1065147
As long as it's under $15,000 you're good. More than that and you have to report it.

could you link me to that specific page? ive gone over the ato site and its just talking about donations to charities and similar

So I plan to move out of my parents' house one way or another within the year.
Problem is I live in Montgomery County, Maryland where housing isn't cheap. Lucky to find a shitty studio/1br for $900 monthly rent. I refuse have any roommates, even though it means a cheaper expense. It's not worth it in my mind.
I have a daily commute to Northern VA where I work, and I refuse to live in the state of Virginia. Northern VA is even more expensive anyway.
So basically my options for rent here in MD are
>not a shithole
>cheap (relatively)
>convenient
pick 2
However there are cheap ~$100-150k 1 br condos for sale that are both not shitholes and convenient, with potential mortgage of only around $500-600 a month + HOA and utilities.
So what's the catch here in buying, other than any potential difficulty in getting a home loan or saving up for the down payment? What responsibilities or risks am I facing that I don't face in renting?

a kike owns your house for the next 30 years, but thats mostly it
personally id just buy a condo in dc proper, their property tax rate is basically nothing, and you don't need to pay a tax on personal property like virginia

Given that we're in a housing bubble, now is not the time to buy.

You of all boards will be able to give me some well-rounded advice.
I have potential to begin a pizza delivery job on $16 an hour.
I am aware that this will take its toll on my car, but I am in desperate need of a job as I am due to start university in one month.
I have ZERO work experience and this opportunity might be the only one I get in a long time.
Should I take the job for the simple reason of gaining experience in a workplace?
Thanks

The experience will be pretty useless. The only redeeming value in this is a bit of cash and maybe some work ethic/tendency to keep busy

I disagree, resume padding is always a good thing when the other kids don't have that much.
What's the most legit way of purchasing Bitcoins?

CALLING SPREADSHEET GUY!!
Based spreadsheet guy, you posted a pic of your portfolio a couple days ago - pic related. I wanted to ask you a question but the thread was kill. Hopefully someone else might be able to answer it.
The image you posted is a perfect example of how you should record what you have invested in. But I was wondering, say if you wanted to accumulate more of a stock in your existing portfolio (at a different price than you initially paid for it) how would you add it to your spreadsheet? Would you create a separate cell in which you enter the new price you bought it at?
Thanks in advance lemme suck your dick too (no homo)

Also to clarify,
If you added to one of the stocks at a different price would you need to make a second column because the cost basis would be different?
>>
>>1065257
>Would you create a separate cell in which you enter the new price you bought it at?
Yes. A new row with information relevant to that buy (Date, Cost Basis, Brokerate, etc.)
But it's all up to you because you're the only one looking at your own spreadsheets. Do whatever you can understand easily.
