  1. I work for what used to be a financial startup in the US.

    When we were only 30 employees 60-80 hours a week, weekends too.

    Now that we're 400, work 9-5, occasionally till 7 or 8.

    Interesting to hear that.

    i guess it makes sense that with startups you just have to pick up the extra load, or else it will fail.

    I think working from 9-5 is great, and i wouldn't mind staying occasionally to 7 or so, but if it was consistently i would not be able to take it. I know my friends in Investment banking have it tough regarding the long hours, sometimes they sit around without any work to do, but they are still there in the office in case any workflow comes through.

  2. lol interesting to see this thread after i asked if it was wise to spend 10% of my salary on an IWC.

    in regards to graduates, depending on what field it varies quite a bit. if i were to put a rough estimate on how much a graduate earns it would be 50k.

    For those that didnt go to university i would guestimate it be 35k.

    The median household income in australia is around 55-60k.

  3. If i were to get any three of those watches, i'd get the speedmaster because i have been suckered by their excellent marketing:

    - first and only watch on the moon

    - nasa certified for X amount of missions

    - accurate for an old watch

    I agree though that you should get the liquid metal version, or the sapphire sandwich (sapphire crystal on both sides ofthe watch, as opposed to a hesalite crystal and closed caseback on the original)

  4. Guys, could you please petition for me to get unbanned from Sufu? I really want to update my dating advice blog. There is a lot of misinformation getting spread around on that thread nowadays....]

    Fuck you cunts who think i'm riding DJRAJIO's balls; This thread has turned into a piece of shit since he left. This is the only thread in supertrash that actually has any real world relevance.

  5. been a lurker for a very long time. I need some advice

    met this nice girl, dated her a couple of times

    I confessed, she said we should remain as friends

    not dating anymore, things are getting stagnant

    in the same workplace for internship, will be done in 1 months time and I will probably never see her again

    what should i do? i dont want to move on

    I strongly suggest reading the early pages of this thread, seriously it is a gem of a thread and people (namely rajio) has dropped knowledge.

    You took her out on a couple of dates which is good, but the moment you confessed you removed all the mystery about you, you removed the challenge.

    An example, which very articulately advises the same situation as your own:

    Anyways, first and foremost I'm not mad at you.

    Frankly you did all the textbook chump-change behavior that an inexperienced young chump would do in a situation like this.

    So don't get down on yourself.

    But let this be a lesson to you and I'll highlight some ironic points to hit the point home.

    There is one gem in your post that literally spells out EXACTLY what you did wrong:

    So what do you do?

    Frankly you killed the mystery, challenge, and attraction effectively from this point.

    Remember guys you can't logically/rationally convince a woman to like you. They respond emotionally. So trying to convince a woman to like you is FUTILE.

    But I think the initial moment you killed your opportunity was when you revealed you were a virgin and never had a gf before.

    In my experience women want men that are more sexually experienced. They want to feel like you are going to provide them something new and exciting. REMEMBER GUYS, IF YOU DON'T GOT IT, FAKE IT.

    Next, you hang out with her and have deep conversations for long periods of time about your past, etc.

    GUYS DON'T DO THIS.

    Again it kills the mystery and challenge. Think about, suppose you got a present all wrapped up and mysterious and then someone told you ALL THE DETAILS IN THE BOX, would you be more inclined to keep wanting to open the box and figure out what's in inside???

    No of course not!

    Remember, treat your personality like a mysterious box with many many many layers of wrapping paper. And only through time and intimacy do you slowing unwrap the layers to reveal your past, personality, etc.

    Hit it right on the nose.

    As for what you can do now is, just be friends, move on.

    Dont try to hope for some future advancements. until you truly let go you'll always be disappointed and may even push her away further.

    if you can truly accept her as a friend then it you can potentially gain some upside e.g networking opportunities such as meeting her female friends etc.

    furthermore, avoid being so emotionally invested in one girl so soon. i know occasionally i am guilty of the same.

  6. Left and centre looks like corny azn douches. Right is ok. Scarves are rocked in a mad ghey manner.That is all.
    superheros whole crew looks whack. like im sure you are nice guys what ever, but everything too damn tight and crispy. very "metro"

    I actually agree, my bro on the left looks mad gay with his scarf and cardigan, and his jeans are superfuture fit (circa 2007). Gradient lenses don't help haha

    That's 2 times in one week that i'm in this thread!

    This is true. I live two blocks from a methadone clinic so I hear more than my fair share the c-bomb. Hit me up when you're in Sydney, sean, I'll teach you the fine nuances of the word "cunt" in Australia.

    .

    Likewise sean, using the word takes a bit of practice, but will allow you to fit right in.
