Must-read career advice for junior bankers
From 27-year IB veteran, former head of ECM at BAML

"A lot of what investment banking involves is salesmanship"

"You have to have a minimum level of competence and smarts, but it isn’t a business that rewards extreme genius"

Enjoyed speaking about the culture of working long hours on Wall Street and the City on the @FT podcast “Working It”. It’s a hot topic….

Jensen Huang on Elon Musk and xAI building the fastest supercomputer on the planet in 19 days

“From the moment of concept to building a massive factory, liquid-cooled, energized, permitted, in the short time that was done. That is superhuman. And as far as I know, there’s only one person in the world who could do that.”

Jensen puts the 19 days that it took xAI to build their supercomputer in Memphis into perspective:

“What they achieved is singular. It’s never been done before. Just to put it in perspective: 100,000 GPUs is easily the fastest supercomputer on the planet as one cluster. It’s a supercomputer that would take normally three years to plan, then they deliver the equipment, then it takes one year to get it all working.”

In other words, this should’ve taken at least four years, but Elon and the xAI team were able to do it in just 19 days.

Joel Greenblatt, Columbia Business School prof returned 40% per year for over a decade.

On the first day of class, he told his students: "I am going to teach you how to take advantage of the stock market"

How you ask? Do good valuation work. And be willing to wait 2-3 years. https://t.co/o4FrZSJywJ
