But yeah, HBS just started, still going through orientation. Man, I'm having a f*cking blast so far. Tons of parties, people getting blasted every night. Of course once classes start, we will calm down just a little bit. Lol. But i've been going out to tons of spots in boston and meeting chicks left and right. You're right about the H-bomb. It's definitely powerful!
Half of my classmates are in relationships, but it's not going to last past black october. People are hooking up like rabbits already, and any long-distance relationship will not last. I have my eye on a few chicks; we'll see what unfolds.
You should join us for a trip once you're done with applications. We already have plans to go to brazil, vegas, miami, carribbean, europe. Pretty much wherever we want.
Anyways, gotta go. Let's keep in touch, and let me know if you need any help on mba essays. Best of luck, brah."

Their complex algorithms and state of the art data mining techniques clearly figured out that since I purchased a grill cover that I must also be looking for a new grill. you know, because people go out a buy a cover before buying the actual grill all the fucking time. real geniuses they have over there.

Date: July 20th, 2018 1:22 PM Author: Stimulating Idea He Suggested The new hires in the last few years have had their packages adjusted to account for the higher stock price, so they’re not benefiting like the people who’ve had a lot of stock vest in the last few years, but I’d argue it’s still worth it since you have no idea how high stock price can go.
Lawyer wise, it’s not more inhumane than biglaw. They’re not any worse than Netflix and only slightly worse than Hulu or other places that pay comparably. Whatever, you can always leave for something more humane and lower paying if you want once your stock vests. Resume value is worth something. |
