GOBLINS,
to our new members, welcome. to my day ones — ay.
read to bottom for bonuses.
warm up question:
weekly tactic:
this week: acc / dilu method
accretion/dilution is just: does our EPS go up or down after this deal?
if you pay with stock: your proforma share count (denominator of EPS) goes up.
if you pay with cash or debt: your earnings (numerator of EPS) are dragged down.
in the article, we define the 2 approaches to answer that in a banking interview context.
protip: you can drill these types of questions using ‘topic study’ mode on OFFERGOBLIN.
last week: becoming uncut
force the decision. silence is not rejection. circle back to your champion before the first wave locks seats.
pivot, don’t stop. you only need one seat. take a summer hold if top tier cuts you. protect the full-time path.
nurture the lead. relationships are assets. keep “dead” processes warm. january no can become august yes.
trade up later. laterals start in april. a return offer is the stamp that lets you upgrade.
bonus:

ever yours,
