/biz/ - Business & Finance

so we all know about alt coin trading bots, and while the money is good, I want to find stock exchange bots. I know they exist from people talking in chats, but I never found a source.


I'm sure someone here knows something and if you could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful

Hi /biz/,

I'm looking for some advice, I am finishing a software eng degree and got accepted for advanced computer science degree.

I can specialise in 3 areas: big data, web tech, comp finance

I love web technologies but it seems like employment is going to turn utter shit in the next few years.

I don't know much about big data, people say it's the next big thing but it feels like some kind of overhyped stuff. I also read about a guy warning about capacity crunch.

I love comp finance and its application, although I don't think I'm math-skilled enough to be worthy of it.

What do you think ? Thank you

Pepe is severely undervalued.

Over 70% of marriageable males are refusing to marry.

The fundamentals tell us that the upcoming beta uprising will drastically increase market acceptance of Pepe.

TO THE MOON

It's gonna be fun as hell watching the markets burn in 2016

Thing is, you've both got valid points.

I love to create value. I joined a startup about 10 years ago. It turned into a profitable company. I quit when I realized the CEO was less interested in making money and more interested in running a lifestyle business.

The moment the lightbulb went off was when we hired dozens of people who added no value in order to tell us what our jobs were. They didn't code, they didn't sell, they were just another layer of management.

The senior management (but not C-level) didn't care, they were following their passion and had enough salary they didn't care about the end fate of the equity.

The new hires didn't care, they were working for salary and had no equity.

The C-suite didn't care, the CEO and rest of board were optimizing for the greatest good for the greatest number, including customers and employees alike. (Stakeholder capitalism is an admirable ethical position, and it is one that can only be taken in a company that was never reliant on outside funding, but I can't retire on ethics!)

So I did the best thing I could: gave 'em a few months' notice and punched my ticket outa there. The startup lingered a few more years and eventually faded into obscurity.

But it worked out OK. The people I worked with are still my friends. I helped out when I was needed, maybe amounted to a few hours a year. We still hang out and drink beer together.

Looking back, when you've stopped giving a fuck about the /biz/ness and just want to get exit (even if it means you and your friends would get fired the next day, because FUCK YOU WE'RE FULLY VESTED!) it's probably time to leave for more interesting pastures. Interesting is in the eye of the beholder. Workaholics can find another startup or go full 9-5 at DilbertCo. Slackers like me can shitpost on 4chan while looking at stock charts.

tl;dr: Everyone in tech should work for a startup at least once in their careers. Doesn't matter if it succeeds or fails.
