"气候差，成天下雨，暖和的天气也就那几个月"?
Depending on which location, the weather in England may not be as bad as we
think. The summer is great, not hot, yet with a lot of sunshine. No AC is
needed and no mosquito. (Too many annoying mosquito in US!!) In
many parts of US, the weather can be extreme. The winter obviously is long
and can have a lot of rain. But it rains, stops, gets sunshine, and rains
again within a day...Some people don't like this, while others ... 阅读全帖 |

得给学校做好多service，改革课程啊给各个系里的本科生大课出题什么的，搞教学是
她的主要任务。她文章也不算少，但是都是那种最低一级的期刊。我没有见过她的cv，
估计她也从来没有拿过基金的钱。其实这就是个恶心循环，越没有钱越需要求学校，学
校就要求你做好多service，service多了就没有时间去做学问，有了学生也没时间没心
情好好指导，好的学生应该也不会跟这样的老师，从头到尾都是low level和mediocre
。不过评职称是有用的，走这条路也可以当正教授，就是得不到同行的尊重。 |

发帖数: 1 | 8 至于面试我准备的50多个问题。我的想法是一定要站在学校的角度思考问题。很多问题
太个性化，并不适用于大家。我把能分享的答案分享，很多也是在网上找的答案。
1. What made you apply for this position?
Why do you want to work here?
Everyone has strengths and weaknesses as employees. What are your strong
points for this job?
What special aspects of your education or training have prepared you for
this job?
这些问题，我觉得可以从四个方面回答，宗旨就是一个，你需要什么，我就能提供什么
。所以每一点都是这么回答，说清楚你要的是什么，我做的是什么。自然表达出match
，而match这个词都不要去提起。

太强调考试，可能对于mediocre的制成品很有效
（tg希望你30岁毕业，35岁前千青，40岁杰青优青，过了50不是院士就是渣
生产线似的批量制造“人才”）
其实人的素质是很多方面，多数都不是考试能衡量的
待人接物能考出来吗？大局观能考察出来吗？创造力能考察出来吗？
米帝教育啊工作啊整个制度，倒是有点像中国古代拜师学艺
谁跟老板聊得开心投缘，老板自己的钱，人家愿意请谁就请谁

a). FA is possible. Great FA can earn big return, but need long-term

b). it is difficult for average investor with limited time and knowledge to
do effective FA. Active investing based on mediocre FA will do worse than
passive indexing.
c). Very true. Industry analysis is very important, and reports are not the

No matter what people do, majority are mediocre, only a small percentage can

because I don't have the talent or I don't want to do diligence.
