I think we’ve reached a point where even middle market PE is oversaturated. There’s more dry powder out there than ever in recorded history. Everyone’s seeing and chasing the same deals. The promotion path is extremely crowded and the pyramid is sharp. The marginal alpha in the asset class as a whole has rapidly deteriorated over the past two decades. Carry after LP hurdle rates is far from a guarantee.
Here's why LMM PE can be a better choice than a large fund: > At Mega Funds, you are competing with the best of the best to make VP. If you do make it, then you're back to square one competing to get Director/Principal, then MD, then Partner > Lifestyle absolutely blows at MFs > Some firms are in lower cost of living locations (pros and cons, depending on what you're looking for) > Often more room for promotion in growing firms > WLB better but so is the risk adjusted TC when factoring in getting promoted, fund performance, etc. From my view though, he could be joining the LMM fund a little late. If performance stalls out he could be really hurting his career.

My key takeaway here is that she is really not very polished when speaking off the cuff. She is nowhere close to ready for a presidential campaign.

One problem with this is that actual working class New Yorkers HATE socialism…
DSA admits it's too white as group mulls 'anti-oppression' taskforce to recruit real working-class New Yorkers trib.al/Qpxilpd

Sports prediction markets are sports betting disguised as financial trading. They flout state and tribal gambling laws, siphon state tax revenues, fuel addiction, and expose young Americans to public health risks while evading state consumer safeguards. Congress must ban them.

Wayne Rooney was not the greatest soccer player of all time so this is factually incorrect
Replying to @Footballtweet
Wayne Rooney was a better football player than Brady was an “American football” player.

Philip Morris: Cigarettes are a healthier plant-based alternative to vaping
Gen Z fueling tobacco sales as wild claims cigarettes are 'healthier' than vaping go viral: 'plant-based alternative' trib.al/tsOeuG2
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Cigarette volumes in the US continue declining (offset only by price hikes) and youth use is at historic lows per federal data; company growth is driven by smoke-free products, not traditional cigarettes or Gen Z anecdotes. fda.gov/tobacco-produc… tobaccoinsider.com/usa-cigarette-… pmi.com/our-progress

If we don’t give away all our trade secrets to our Chinese spy mistresses then China will win.
