It's a viable way to make pocket change senpai

Yes it is.
Depends on what kind of products you'll buy/sell and how much time you want to put in it btw.

It's probably competitive as fuck.
Not to mention my math skills are garbage
I want to get into a company like Intel or NVidia.
Any tips? My resume links to my website where a full resume is posted with all my bullshit on it.
I posted on /sci/ but as someone pointed out there, you guys more than likely have a better understanding of the hiring process.
>>1026712
I'll keep it simple - that resume isn't much use without seeing the job description you're applying for. It might get you an interview for a niche job at Intel for one posting, but it might go straight to the trash for another job posting.
The person (or computer) doing the initial screening is someone in HR who probably doesn't know a whole lot about the technical side, so think - what would they want to see, and can they understand your writing (or at least, the significance of it)?
not enough sadly.
the only way to get a job at a huge meme company like that is to know someone or be exceptionally qualified.
you had two internships but apparently didn't do much. you shouldn't need to list the courses you took to fill up your resume. they're looking for a succinct summary of your practical, industry experience in a resume; courses/focus is something you mention at the interview.
you can still try to get in through networking. i got an offer with an even more underwhelming resume at Cisco.
>>1026712
It's okay.
If you work for 5 years at a shit teir company or a startup you will probably make it past the initial recruitment filter
So /biz/, what went wrong?

gee willikers it's a mystery

The same thing that went wrong with every single country south of the USA: invading a nation and replacing the population is hard as fuck.
The USA is one of the few successes in history and that's only because most of Europe chose it as their focus point for the "new world". Canada only had the USA as their neighbor so they didn't have much to worry about. Everyone else in the Americas are still facing issues to this very day in regards to controlling their population to keep crime down,...

Hi /biz/,
europoor here, with a few friends we're creating a way for Indians to sell some of the traditional items they create to european hipsters. We pretty much established everything we needed with the concerned Indians, and we're set when it comes to funds, but we need some advice regarding logistics.
Basically, is there anything regarding the law or juridiction that we need to know about in order to avoid getting into anything illegal ?
Also, do you have any general advice ?
>>1026515
What exactly are they producing?
>>1026524
this,
how the fuck is anyone supposed to know if it's illegal or not if you don't say what it is?
>I'm gonna buy and then sell something; am I gonna go to jail for that?
If you only had this chart to look at, would you go long or short?
>>1026460
Neither because it doesn't alloe me to invest intelligently nor does it allow be to study the fundamentals of what I am investing in. I'll put my money in bonds and a small portion in commodities, thanks.

it's easier for price to make a new high than it is a new low
I'd wait to achieve the low of .40 again, and then look on a longer term graph to determine if it's a bargain or not.
If the stock is old enough, the 2008 lows are a good guide.
Fellow Australian /biz/nessmen, I need your advice.
I saved AUD $20,000.00 over the last year. To avoid the temptation of spending it and to keep welfare in the dark, I subtracted money every time it hit my bank account and left only what I needed to pay for the essentials.
As a result of this, I have $20,000 in various notes stored away. Yes, I know I am losing interest on this, but without it, I would be paying more on tax, losing social security benefits and have it pried at by others.
I want to convert this $20,000 - which is mainly in $50 notes, with...

3 sounds good but you could also get that money into savings fund or an none bank card that will charge higher commission
>>1026441
You could just keep it and use it for buying any shit you need in person.

Autism.........not even once.
Hey /biz/,
Ive got $40k AUD just sat in a standard saver account and its time to put it to good use.
Im thinking a split between as "high" an interest saver account as i can find (currently AMP @2.6%) and opening a Vanguard account.
Does anyone recommended any of the current vanguard funds or ETFs?
In terms of risk/reward im open to anything 50/50. maybe even a bit more risk seeking.
Thanks in advance for any information/advice provided.
>>1026379
VOO, when you see that it will reach support. Now and the next weeks is a good time to look at it.
>>1026379
Honestly keep it in the saving account for now. We're heading towards a volatile time and your stocks could very well drop for the next year or two, better to get ~2.5% gains instead of aim for ~7% gains and end up losing money.
>>1026785
>VOO
Why do people always leap to recommend large cap stocks? It's stupid advice and completely out of touch with modern market theory. Learn to type "VTI" instead ... its better advice and you won't sound retarded to adults.

Greetings biz. I currently have about 15k in my savings account that I will be spending next year. I was wondering if I could do anything with about 10k of the money that would safely net me some extra money by next March. My alternative is just letting it sit for a year...
Pic related, it's my cat.
Yo man what's it like having a cat? I'm thinking about getting one... any tips?
>>1026333
Only
Trips
>>1026333
Locate a reasonably priced vet in your area, get it fixed. Stick with wet food, feed it to the cat twice daily. Dry food isn't necessary. Buy a cat tree and some toys to preserve your furniture. Try to keep it inside if you can.
Young adult here,
Redpill me on housing vs renting? or housing as an investment in general
Why does every boomer keep saying its an investment because when you sell it later, it will be worth more?
Like just thinking about it. If I buy a house now for $500k, then in 30 years its supposedly worth $1mil and I sell it for that much. Doesnt it mean that Im not really making an extra $500k because if I sold my house for $1mil then that means the new house Im going to have to buy to live in will be around that price range too?
Why do boomers keep pushing...

Housing is a shit investment (see pic), but renting is actually throwing money away to someone who has invested in a shitty investment.
Aim to reduce the amount you spend on housing as much as possible because either way it's basically dead money unless you luck out and pick a spot that is currently shit but starts to rise after you've bought it.
Buying is like forced savings
if you do your research you might get lucky and make a profit
After 30 years you stop paying it off
Rent is cheaper in the short run so if you use that extra $100 a week wisely you can make better returns.
As years pass your mortgage repayment will stay the same
And your rent will go up but you will make more money so the ratio you spend on rent will be about the same.
Also you have to think about the deposit and if you could invest that money to be more profitable.
If you have to rent, just live in a van. Fuck losing 30%-50% of your income just to have a place to sleep.
Are people who studied Business Administration and then teach it in academia failures or just very fond of the subject? If it is other fields like natural sciences or medicine, you can tell right away that they are the top of the top. But what about BA?
>>1026287
The top of the top don't teach, they have more lucrative things to do. Professors will inevitably be those who can't put into practice what they learned. The best teachers are not paid to teach.
>>1026287
Some of the business profs at my university earn $400-500k/year just teaching undergrad classes. This is at a good school in Canada though the business faculty here isn't world-renown or anything like that.
I don't know about other institutions/areas but that seems like success to me, especially when you consider that a lot of them have already had their primes in the business world and now just relax without stress while earning really comfortable money doing what is probably a chill job.
I didn't study business in university at all but that sounds like a great life path. The real sharks will probably stay clear from academia though.
>>1026292
>Professors will inevitably be those who can't put into practice what they learned.
Do you think they have the knowledge? That their research is real and genuine and will help a businessman. Only that they don't have the capacity to apply the knowledge?
