Mental math (and arithmetic tricks) are pretty important for scoring high on the GMAT (for MBA admissions). No calculator is allowed, and while you can solve by pen and paper, for …

I was young for my year after being pushed ahead a grade. I did fine academically, socially, etc. Two factors that make me want to start my future kids late: -Social maturity: it's…

Stasis' logic is along the right lines - you need to think about it in terms of portfolio management strategy. Effectively, the manager is trying to switch as much of the gains of …

But Fidelity isn't writing down the value of the company, it's writing down the value of its shares. Do you have any guesses as to what this means, given they are probably the most…

Postmortems like this are always a bit unfair. You ask employees who lost their job when the company folded what was wrong with the company, and they'll air every little complaint …

The other thing that comes to mind is that they are a business fundamentally reliant upon distribution. Of course they should be building out a footprint, and marketing their servi…

Their founder, Chris, is actually a former McKinsey guy. The thought was exactly that - to align 'McKinsey pitch deck thinking' with professional design. I've used their service an…

It's never too late to transfer - and being a transfer doesn't make you ineligible for financial aid! I went to a major public university my freshman year and transferred to an Ivy…

You've said what I've been trying to articulate for a long time - in much better terms than I ever could. Thank you! I like the dichotomy of songwriter vs. producer - but I would g…
