Interview today..

Me - "How much do you think you're worth to this company, and what you could bring to it if we bring you on?"

Trader - "I would be able to bring a sizable portion of my current deck I believe. Of the 6 to $700,000 deck, I could see myself bringing $500,000 of that by a couple of years. I think I am worth about 3 to $400,000 of that"

Me - "We're not the New York Yankees son....think more of the KC Royals"

Trader - "I would like to make more than 5 figures a year, sir"

Me - "The majority of their players would too...

Trader - "...."

What's a deck? [&:]

And what job is he applying for?

Haha. A deck is someone's current trading "deck". It is a slang term for how much business they can bring...their "deck".

He is applying for a trading position. He trades corn, beans, wheat, milo..etc..

If you could make us money trading Uno cards, I'll pay you whatever you think you're worth.

...leave crumbs for the mouse...

INP. Carry on.[8D]

The mouse is too busy working for this sort of shenanigans. Maybe I should get me a nice, cushy spot in one of the ivory towers so i can sit on the forum all day. [:'(]

Wait, Jeff. You can pay the mouse what I think he's worth? Interesting. Cause I'm thinking of a round figure. A PERFECTLY round figure. [:D]

Youre right, Andre, $900,000 a year sounds good.

Still dont get it. Although you make it sound a lot like Pokemon or that Magic the Gathering thing.

Does this "deck" refer to skills, experience and market knowledge or is he bringing in actual commodities? [&:]

Nope. By baseball parlance, there's one too many 'crooked numbers' in that figure. [:'(]

Your last sentence, yes. I never take physical deliver of product to my location..it's all paper. A deck is just what you said. Skills, knowledge, customer base that allows you to generate money...your "deck"

Not only am I a regular nerd, but apparently I'm also a network geek. Someone on Reddit posted this picture with the explanation that it was the IP address they found "the world's most dangerous hacker" at in the show NCIS.

I got the joke.

Saw this and automatically thought of Andre. [:D]

Well, I've played Settlers of Catan a few times, so I have experience in trading sheep for wheat. Do I get the job?
