Pokey Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 @Mr Mark, please start an Off Topic discussion thread with lots of pictures and stories of vintage bikes. I suspect there are a few of us that would be appreciative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokey Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 The Norton with its drum brakes and stinger silencers is my favorite too, but the Ducati looks to be in terrific shape. Can't tell, early 90's? Maybe a 907? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowdude Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Sorry to revive an older / dead thread. I've been in the auto industry (OEM side) for the past 5 years. Corp FP&A/controller. Started out with a degree in history and then did the MBA route. Nothing special other than 1st gen college student. As a car guy, you'd think it's great- and it is, but I'd say it's better to keep your passions separate. Auto industry in the Greater NYC area is well below area average. Sure, the company car discount per month is nice, but there's no equity being built, and fairly stringent rules (no autocross or track time etc). I think what's been hardest for me is marrying corporate life with the auto industry. Theyre two very different beasts, from understanding the sales / dealer relations side to the P&L/BS "classical" business approach. If you're still interested in hopping send me a PM and we can connect - just know that you will be low-balled salary wise to have a discounted car dangled in front of you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 @slowdude The good news about being FP&A is that it is in huge demand in the NY area if you want to step outside the auto industry and I bet you could make the shift. Given the salary inflation resets going on presently this is a time to consider opportunities. I would be skeptical about your specific auto co. staying in the NYC suburbs for the long term anyway - its high cost and sooner or later leadership wakes up. They had a wobble once before.

Absolutely, the salary temptations are always there to jump for 30/40k. I'm just leery of the economic situation, last in, first out mentality. I was part of an accelerated leadership program through the company (and had a brief stint overseas)- I am currently trying to angle for a CFO role within the company in one of their British brands. Hopefully can gain some traction and will see where that goes, as it is the same role I am doing now, just with a few extra zeros. Getting that title will be crucial, then it's absolutely time to move. Speaking of auto industry in the Greater NYC area, Aston Martin is moving to Manhattan. I'm not quite sure how that will work, but that puts JLR/Ferrari/Aston/BMW in the Greater NYC. Mercedes went south about 5 years ago? They're offering Mercedes Benz as their company cars and are expecting the majority of their workforce to stay in Michigan (I can't remember if that is what the recruiter said).

UglyFast Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Lol I work for all y'all, and I'm kinda good at it, some days, allegedly. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
