Hello wise /biz/iness people.
My apologies if the questions are a bit dumb. I have no experience with this field of work.
I was browsing the part time jobs and keep seeing this broker apprentice ad posted a few times per week (pic related), although the age was lowered from 30 to 25.
Does a broker in 'financial services' sound vague? I am sure with a bit of reading you could learn about mortgages, investments, etc. But my main question is could you even do this type of work part time and be successful?
This sounds like a MLM.
>$10-25k/month
So beginning you earn $12-48,000 a year(barely enough to survive) and then in a couple years you jump to well over 6 figures, and even hitting $200,000/yr?
This sounds vague as fuck.

I mainly buy/sell stocks in the swedish market (as I am a swede), but recently, have been looking to maybe learn a bit more about the US market.
Anyone have any relatively safe stocks to recommend just to learn the market or general tips?
If there are any swedes out there, I use Avanza (like everyone else in Sweden).

Won't be investing in housing, but, I'm assuming something as stupid as the last bubble won't happen again, right?
Hi /biz/ is it possible to short stocks like this immediately when reports come out?
Obviously it is to late for this one, but is there something I can buy to profit on this kind of announcement?

You can create a news reading algorithm tied to a trading account.
To my knowledge there isn't anything you can get "off the shelf" to do this, but with a bit of programming know how you can build one in a few days.
Pkgm

Can someone help fix my cover letter?
I have to have it in by 4pm today.
I'm trying to make this all fit together.
What should I add or change?

Two years is not a long time. Remove "over" two years.. you sound like a douche
Find out the name of the Hiring Manager so you don't address the cover letter to "Hiring Manager".
Without formal education (MBA?) your management techniques don't mean shit. remove that faggotry

>Find out the name of the Hiring Manager so you don't address the cover letter to "Hiring Manager".
I was told I was supposed to do that because it's proper.
The hiring manager is actually my boss.

I've been working there for over 2 years bro.

Is it better to work in big companies or small agancises/start-ups?
Dependent on lots of things
>18-26
Start-up since you can recoup your loses
>27+
Big companies since the risks associated with a startup may not be worth it anymore
>Have children
Need a solid, stable income so big company
I work for a meteorite mining corp. It's quite fun.
I used to work for 8 small startups.
Always go big. At least THEY can pay you instead of asking you to "work for the Lord's belief"

- Anyone here have a successful and durable experience in forex trading ?
- What's techniques did you use ?
- With how much money did you begin ?
- Gives me advice for a beginner like me, please.
I am really sad when i read specialized forums in forex, why?
Because all the trading journal I read ends the same way :
They end up losing all their gains and have their account to 0 dollars, after 6 months or 1 year.
I need testimonials from people who really live forex successfully since several years.

Analyse market trends and make your own projections from them, taking finance-affecting news into account. Don't take risks on rumours or fall for business magazine predictions. You have to put the work in yourself if you want to be good at it.
This is going to sound very naive and dumb, but are the salaries of most white collar employees even justified on an economic basis? I don't mean morally, I mean are they being overpaid?
So a big 4 audit employee makes about £20 k at first then I think about £40 k after 3 to 4 years. What the hell is there to learn that adds so much value? Are they being paid this much so that they don't make mistakes?
Have I been fortunate to only be around people who are on the better half of the IQ bell curve? Are smart people in short supply?
>>1104722
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Four_(audit_firms)
Revenue per employee is listed at the top: £40k is about $57k
So yes, they are worth that much. Though you could probably add about 30% to the cost per employee to take into account benefits.
Funny thing, is that when I was an business analyst at Accenture I was billed out at 5-11 times my take home pay which was around $80k. So I was definitely worth it to the company back then.
>Are smart people in short supply?
extremely
>>1104722
I would say they're fairly justified. Especially those in engineering or software engineering, mostly because they produce intellectual property which can be profited from (potentially) an unlimited/very high number of times. People who employ blue collar workers can only profit from their employee's work in a 1:1 fashion.
So, what is your family legacy, what ups and downs has caused you to be in the situation you're in?

Don't you know that ponzi schemes are for poor and uneducated people? Unless you are a dev or exchange admin, by playing this type of games, you literally destroy your financial future. You are not far from foodstam plebs buying lotteries.

What are the economic benefits and consequences of legalizing suicide?

Study the swiss to discover that.
Much of the EU has been using them for legalised suicides...

>legalizing suicide
You mean assisted suicide or commercialisation of suicide pills, right?
You can't legalise suicide because you can't charge a dead person.

Hey, I'm 19 years old, I make 18k USD a year.
I'm looking to make some extra cash, I do some coding and Graphic designs, I have a couple of pending projects, however.
I know that using BTC MIGHT get you some cash, but the transfer rate from Paypal to BTC is ridiculous, I have to pay 75$ for 25$ BTC ?!

This story caught my attention when it was coming out a month ago.
Very bad things are going to occur.

How on earth can fees be below cost? Are they subsidized somehow?

That means they're bleeding money and will be bankrupt soon.
