Why is there hype surrounding Ethereum?
As far as I'm concerned it's just another bitcoin ripoff that will be subject to pump n dumps and stay in the $0.50-5/each range forever.
I don't think there's room in the market for a second crypto currency, so what makes Ethereum a worthy investment, or is it just a fun risky investment for most?
itll be priced 0.0001 in 2018 and im not chipping in. this is my personal opinion.

Is an MBA worth it?
>>1071486
Depend on your projects.
>>1071486
Depends on your goals. If your goal is to start a business no. If your goal is to become VP level or above of an established business, then you should do an MBA and a stint in management consulting.
From a short term money perspective, it's probably worth it if you get into a top 10 school (Harvard, Wharton, etc) and are making less than about 100k in your current job.
Consultant with an mba earns 130-150 starting.

YET another BORING wagecuck/education thread.

Hey /biz/
Looking for some feedback on career related questions. I think I have myself figured out quite well and I know most of this board (90% is trash), but that 10% can be pretty critical and logical and I appreciate that.
So here is my story, I went to a third tier university in Canada. I had descent highschool marks (high 80s low 90s), but didn't really know the importance of school. My marks really sank (below a 3.0 GPA) when my father died around 2/3rd year, as I had to help out the family business, and decided to still stay in school.
Fast forward...

My goal is to work at NYC, but my concerns are:
- I don't have connections there
- Getting a Visa may be a bitch (i.e. why would they hire me when there is a descent talent pool there that doesn't need to be brought over)
- My work experience would not likely be seen as relevant, small PE firm, credit rating agency and even the TD Asset management gig
My longer term goal is to work in Buy Side, it really makes my blood pump. I am thinking of possibly going there and just networking non-stop for a few weeks, but that may be fruitless or potentially...

yet another BORING as fuck wagecuck problems thread.
is this about business? no. Businesses hire and fire wagecucks like you. deal with it and fuck off to /adv/
I've googled around including for the state in my country (Queensland Australia). But can anyone give me an indication what is the norm in this situation.
I'm renting a property and its been for sale, open houses every weekend, I don't care much. Its taken them a year because people aren't very interested in its location.
The lowdown: My tenancy ends in March, but they already had me renew for a 1 year rental agreement going from this coming march to next. If it sells before this agreement ends, would the next years still keep? Or would I need...

Meet the new owner, the law doesn't matter as much as your relationship with them.
>>1071254
Thats the thing, its being sold by a Super Fund. The property itself is a 100% faceless investment of the state. I have a very good relation with the Realty Office. But we know salespeople are always two faced.
>>1071271
Here is the relevant page OP
https://www.rta.qld.gov.au/Renting/During-a-tenancy/When-a-property-is-for-sale
Notably, if you want them to stop the open houses it looks like you can do so.
In answer to your main question, yes, your lease will be valid until next march even if the property sells.
People who work / have worked 80+ hours / week,
What did you do?
Why did you do it?
Did it pay off?
How did you find the drive?
>>1071082
I work 84 hour work weeks. It's not too bad. I work six weeks, get two off. It's pretty nice since it's good pay too. Company handles housing and food for those two weeks. I'm not a high position yet, but I have family elsewhere in the company and he gets his flights and stuff paid for too.
Only problem is the company is stingy with raises since most people are pretty shit/shady workers and they just don't want to pay more money out.
>>1071115
>company handles food and housing for those six weeks I meant.
>>1071082
Used to. Was working a government contract and the company didn't want to hire people. I'd work 70 to 80 hours a week, all hourly, with night time shift differential and made damn good money doing it. Easily bring home $4,000+ paychecks every two weeks. Did that for a little over a year.
I've noticed that by showing up to work on time or a little early and actually working without whining, complaining, or backtalking that every employer I've ever had has absolutely loved me.
Are THAT many people really THAT shit at basic jobs? I'm not doing anything special but holy fuck you'd think I am
You forgot to mention that you also suck his dick after work each day.

How'd you know I work for you dad?
>>1070431
Most people have trouble with just this bc they don't want to accept their boss as their boss.
They want all the benefits of being their own boss without the risk of failure and $ loss
I have a job interview for a position in PR & Communications coming up in a few days. It's a startup that supports its customers in legal affairs. The boss used to work for Accenture and already established and sold a successful startup before.
What does /biz/ think this guy might look for in an applicant for said position? Any tips or advice?
Yeah I have a tip.
Get a more interesting career that isn't completely soft skills bullshit or kill yourself.

Does anyone know how much investment in a bitcoin mining rig is needed for it to be profitable?
I need advice for this project I'm working on at my university. It's basically a philanthropic crowd funded mining rig, that furthers the public's understanding of crypto-currency.
>>1068386
You need free or discount electricity for it to be worth it.
You also need to hit ROI VERY VERY FAST, because moore's law means you're mining rig is worthless in 18 months
Mining is completely dead.
You literally cannot break even without free electricity now, and even then, it's going to take months just to pay for the equipment.
>>1068423
what numbers are we talking here? universities provide 'free' electricity
You do realize that, statistically speaking, the average non-engineering college grad who isn't going into a PhD, JD, or MD program and doesn't have a standing offer for a position making at least $60k starting is better off commissioning as an officer in the military, right?
>Starting O1 makes ~$35k plus well over $10k in housing and cost of living benefits which are tax free
>Pretty much guaranteed promotion to O2 within six months, making $40k plus the aforementioned benefits which are tax free
>If you're multi-lingual in the right languages up to 12k per year in additional pay is also on the table from when you're certified by the military to be proficient
Keep in mind that the average college grad starts at $35k unless they're in one of those groups I mentioned.

So I'm 26 and just finished my masters.
I have 40 euro in my bank and start work tomorrow that pays 500€ a week for the next 6 months and then I should get a good bump up.
So I want to be rich. I have no debts and life fixed costs are about 100 euro a week.
If you, /biz/ were in my position. A healthy 26 year old Irish male, where would you begin?
Other information: I can speak German and am learning Swedish.

I don't think it's particularly enlightening, but it keeps your attention and has decent advice.
