What are you talking about? In the 1990s, SV was not overrun by foreigners. Today it is. Do you even have a clue? Yeah right... And you claim that I don't know what I'm talking about... What a load of BS.
i can't tell if you're pretending to be stupid, or it's natural for you. i fvcking WORKED in SV tech in the 90s, what were you doing back then? your high school summer job at burger king? you weren't even involved then nor are you involved now, what makes you think you know more? you don't know shit. if you did work in tech, you'd know that HR, finance and marketing are overwhelmingly FEMALE, and those organizations make up half of any tech company. do the math (if you can) and you'd know that means only 1/3 of the company would be white male. your 90% number is a figment of your imagination. when i read that i knew right away you've never worked in SV tech
marketing is a bullshit degree that women choose just like psychology. Management is similar. It doesn't help that every person I've ever seen either majoring in marketing or doing it for a living has been an absolute braindead moron. Hard, solid degrees like finance are less popular for the marketing types because it involves more thinking than a Boston Consulting Group chart with stars, cash cows, dead dogs, and whatever other crap that those idiots come up with.
A friend of mine knows a nurse from overseas, 34 years old, female. She has limited English. She is not smart at all and she is ugly. She has no social life and know nothing about networking. She has never been to a school in the US therefore she has no college loan. She does not have a working permit, green card or citizenship in the USA. She just passed the standard exam (NCLEX) to become a nurse (RN) and in 1 week she received more than 20 offers just in Texas in this worst recession in the last 100 years and she does not have a working permit. She can't even spell her name for god's sakes She will be making (with overtime) close to what I make. I am a senior financial analyst for a Fortune 100 company and MBA from top 30. Yesterday she asked me what the difference between a stock and bond is. I said why are you asking. She replied "what am I gonna do with all this money?" So what does this tell you?
I don't completely disagree with you, but last time I checked the undergraduate finance grads were having as hard of a time finding jobs as marketing grads. Just because your investments professor teaches you how to calculate IRR, bond convexity and tells you to buy the snazzy BA II plus, that doesn't make you a desirable candidate. In this job market, unless your skill set/interests and job qualifications very closely match your employerâs needs, you'll be a seasoned candidate just like the girl in this thread. And speaking of seasoned candidates, if I was interviewing someone who had no good reason for being unemployed the last several years, I would be turned off to hiring them also. If no one else wanted to hire them, why would I?
Weren't you the guy who asked what is the M3 vs M1 money supply in another thread? Methinks a " senior financial analyst for a Fortune 100 company and MBA from top 30" ought to know that. Or at least google it if you're going to play an analyst on a trading board. Just saying. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2744607#post2744607
l2tradr has reality deficit disorder. Look at what he said about Warren Buffett: it's a matter of time before his [Warren Buffett's] wannabe "track record" will be put to shame. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2756610#post2756610
Its called sarcasm, are you serious??? Did you read the part where I said there are people on this site with forex robots generating 20% per WEEK returns?
I'm glad to hear you were being sarcastic. I'm not the only one who took you seriously BTW and your comment was on par with what others have posted about Buffett from their mothers' basements
