Women in HR positions are the primary reason women don't get jobs.
This guy is replacing his HR dept with machine learning to analyze resumes.

Why doesn't someone tell them to clean their filthy vaginas.
Yuck.
Sounds like a good reason to put women in HR.

Its the women who are making these statements. You are self-defeating.
Hey /biz/. I have the opportunity to study in my country's best law school, which has partnerships with excellent law schools in other countries (eg. Yale).
However, I don't know if I should do it, since I don't want to build my career in my country, and that I'd rather work elsewhere (either in Canada or the US).
Would a law degree force me to work in my country, even if I specialize in something like international law? I'm certainly not going to study public or criminal law, for example, but I'm still worried. I'm not even sure...

A law degree and law licence are really only useful in the country that issued them.
If you want to practice in the U.S., for example, any foreign law licence is irrelevant and does not authorize you to act as an attorney in any state. You would still need to pass the relevant state bar exam. Even before that, your academic credentials would be scrutinized to determine if you are qualified to sit for the bar. Unless your degree is from The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, or Israel, there's...

That's too bad.
>If you want to practice in the US
Well, I did say that I wasn't set on becoming an attorney and working at a law firm specifically, and that I assumed a law degree would be versatile enough for a career in diplomacy or consulting (that's an example, I'm not dead-set on anything in particular).
The main advantage a law degree from a top school offers is a wide range of prospective careers and great versatility, or at least that's what...

I won't say that having a foreign law degree would have no value in the U.S. business or diplomatic spheres, but I wouldn't put much value in it either. Since you can't practice law in the U.S. without a U.S. law licence, you wouldn't be permitted to give your U.S. employer or clients any legal advice about issues in your home country. At best, you could help issue-spot potential legal trouble areas, although your lack of practical legal experience in your home country would severely impair your usefulness in this context.

Hey /biz/, I am currently attending business college in Denmark. I am majoring in marketing and IT. Which one of those industries is the most lucrative? (I am talking about real marketing, not some pleb tier facebook office monkey bs).
>>1081763
Depends on your skill, what's big in your country and what kind of job you want. Software engineers make a fuckload and live comfy here in Australia.
Or will the FANG party continue unabated?
F - no
A - probably
N - for the foreseeable future
G - yeah
Everything is getting killed this week. Apart from maybe some gold mining stocks etc.
There will be a big dump, it happens like clockwork. People suddenly realise it ain't getting better and decide to get off mr calciums wild ryde
I'm kinda frustrated these days.
I work as a UI designer in a small agency. We do lots of client work. Obviously the payment is pretty low while my boss earns twice as much. What he is doing is to meet clients, thinking about marketing strategies and do the sales stuff. Sometimes he is helping out designing UIs. Of course he knows how to talk to clients, how to manage the agency, etc. but it still pisses me off that we as designers do all that shit work (often with overwork) and still we earn half of his money or even less.
I see two options: Either I try...

Boss or owner?
If I were you I'd start as a freelancer with all the risks and responsibilities involved. And then hire a second person to aid you and give him a higher salary than you.

They misspelled South America. Africa's boom never began.
Seems like their growth is being stifled by trade agreements which are agreed by governments. If it was a free market they wouldn't have this problem.

How and when did you figure out what you wanted to be?
>>1081706
Beginning of middle school, when I figured that engineering was math + money + helping build the foundation of modern civilization
>>1081706
I've wanted to be an actor ever since I was 16, but that doesn't pay bills unless you get good roles and you need connections for that. I just turned 18 so I'm going to be realistic and hopefully get a good job from a business major but take acting classes on the side so I can at least do it as a hobby.

you just need to suck a few dicks.
Anyone in data science or analytics? what do you do? what was your background? pay? what languages you use?
>>1081678
OP here (sorry for the ID change.) I work at the NSA and use data mining and social engineering techniques to screen online forums for suspected dissidents.
Analytics, mostly SQL/R/python
Self taught, I came from a science based degree, found it quite easy to pick up, been doing it 3 years now.
Live in the North UK, so pay not huge, about £45k a year or so ($65kish), work for an IT consultancy.
Im considering Data Science, been studying R/Python and i come from an economics background, but i cant decide what will be more profitable, pursuing a masters on data science or one in finance/CFA. From what i understand you could very well apply data science to finance, specially machine learning and so on right?
/biz/, judging the way the US economy has been going for the last eight years let's dispel this fiction once and for all that Barack Obama doesn't know what he's doing. He knows exactly what he's doing; he's undergoing a systematic effort to change this country and make America more like the rest of the world. When I'm elected president we'll re-embrace what makes America the greatest country in the world and leave our children what they deserve; the greatest nation in the history of the world.
>>1081668
Obama saved the shittiest part of the economy and left the rest to fend for itself. His economic gains will mostly be lost in another downturn because investment toward expanding industries just hasn't materialized. Instead we had state credit creation for insolvent investment wings of banks that would have in any other decade been cut loose. As far as him knowing what he's doing, from the statements he made it does sound like he knows that he's only strengthening the finance sector and works with them...

Any swing traders that work a full time job in here? I've got about 5k I've got stashed away that I can start building at about 1k per month, and I want to keep it relatively active.

Dear /biz/, /fit/ here
Is this good business advice?

Guy talks too much for me to watch the whole video, there a specific point you want our opinion on?

No, doing 8 scoops is not a legitimate business plan.
Hello /biz/,
I apologize, but I'm not much for finance. I tend to spend most of my time on other hobbies.
I'm curious what your thoughts are on how one could create a single unified world currency.
What could be the measurement used to give value of a single unit of this currency?
I know people have used a Starbucks coffee, and a McDonald's hamburger to judge values of currencies worldwide, but what if you had an entirely new currency you could design?
What would you base it's value off of?
Do you think in the event that a sort of utopia...

Base it off fresh water and agriculture being ass they are useful necessities for human life.
>>1081651
>Do you think in the event that a sort of utopia is created
this is impossible and extremely dangerous for others if you set out to do so
>>1081651
Labor theory of value is a joke. The fact that you spent 10,000 hours building a statue of a penis does not make it inherently valuable.
The world currency is the dollar.
What's the downside to 'turnkey' or 'investment' rental properties where you put in the money and they manage the property?
I would assume the decreased return on investment is painful despite the fact that you have to work less and that, like all investments, you can lose your money even if you do the research and invest well.
But, I've seen bad tenants before and they fucking wreck the place, and I don't know how to fix anything more complicated than basic carpentry.
Your friend,

That's about it. With a turnkey property, you are most likely going to pay at the market or above if there is already a tenant in place. PM companies are going to charge you a ton of money for little return. You can hire out a contractor to make any repairs necessary.
My advice is to buy in the same area you live and manage it on your own. Have an attorney/ real estate agent who knows their stuff help you draft up a lease and self manage the property.

>>1081662
Thanks. I've got to do more thinking, because there are a couple properties around here that I'll probably be able to fill with the gas/oil swell, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get quality tenants.
Gas/oil people prefer cheaper places they can fuck up.
Thank you for responding, comrade.
Post yfw most people who make it big came from well-off backgrounds and you family was only working class
>>1081641
>excuses
>>1081645
Not excuses as much friend, just the harsh realisation that people who make it often only had that opportunity because their parents put in a lot of hard work and then diligent saving/investing to set up their descendants, and that might be the best I'm likely to achieve myself.
>>1081641
my face when people get caught up in assuming that to be 'really well off' you have to have a lot of money.
It's very easy to get to a position where you can care for yourself for the rest of your life without worrying about anything, as soon as you get away from the silly idea that you need to be ridiculously rich to do so.
Obsession with status over securing oneself financially is the downfall of most lower middle class.
