Is the LinkedIn comment section the SLOPPIEST place on the internet right now? Every second comment reeks of AI Thought it couldn’t get any worse…

@ALLOCATOOR Somewhere in between Can’t say true passion as I don’t do it in my free time now… but I did it (paid) for about 6 months before started FT finance role and found it very satisfying Also: Think I could be good at it Could start small biz More AI-proof Not geog. restrictive

@quads_man Is carpentry passion or just random alternative?

… and at the same time I feel I lack the level of enthusiasm and intrinsic motivation to compete in an industry where there are plenty who absolutely love the game…

Either way, I’m definitely not staying where I am. I don’t expect anyone has read, but if you have, I’m curious to hear your thoughts

But I feel increasingly strongly that none of this matters anywhere near as much as feeling like I am actually doing what I want to be doing day by day. Maybe there is some better middle ground, and I’m hoping some time off and space to think may help illuminate it…

Considering leaving research in london and retraining as a carpenter… am I crazy? I’ve been feeling quite disenfranchised with sell-side research/finance in general Feels too much like a spectator sport Missing some fundamental sense of creativity/real impact …

@snowmanllc @sellsidepleb Listened to this on audiobook and one of my favourite pieces of media I’ve ever consumed… love epic life-long stories like that, similar vibe to count of monte cristo in that regard

Really stupid and lame ask, but has anyone read any good books on mindset? Not to go all goggins huberman Jocko but I struggle with being a naturally pessimistic person and want to take initial action to help change that. Don’t think it’ll be the answer but at least a start. TY

Zone 2? Never heard of it…

Them: How long since you last played? Me: eh not that long…

Glorious day in the City

Definitely just ruined an expensive and long awaited round of golf tomorrow by going too hard in the gym but the pump was just too nasty 😤

Tiramisu number 4 of the week smashed and it’s only Friday lfg

Sometimes turning this corner in the morning on the way into the office is a religious experience

Just gonna leave this here

Dude clearly played golf once and couldn’t handle the sexual tension 😤 I for one just tell the boys I love them when I’m golfing because I love golf and I love my boys

@tuckerrcapital Probably the only Londoner enjoying this rain right now!

@tuckerrcapital Yeah I’ve just been given some strong painkillers and told not to wear any clothes for a while so all Gucci I took a last minute weekend trip to Spain and fell asleep on the beach 😅 so I guess I can partially blame the early starts in research 😂

Severely severely sunburned Trying to see the funny side (I look hilarious) But very difficult given I currently want to off myself. This is almost unbearable. And entirely my fault. And will only get worse for the next 12+ hours (probably more like 24) Wear sunscreen.
