Thank you! I have played with it and it's really awesome...I have been planning to use weebly for a couple wiki but it's so hard to use for fast changes. Orbs fits the bill perfectly.
Some things I would love to see:
1. colors in text
2. security (can I store a bank account number or passowrd in a private orb)
3. renaming the home paeg
4. image linking to a web url instead of just allowed to upload
5. embedding stuff (photo slideshows, youtube videos etc..)
We were a little afraid of letting people choose arbitrary colors for text. One of our goals was to make it difficult to make a page ugly and easy to make it look good. We were considering that you could choose a highlight color though. The color would be part of your custom site design. Would this suit your purpose.
Currently, you can access the site through https: but that is not the default and it is not enforced. We might consider making an option to force the site to https:
Renaming the home page. Something I'm thinking about. Actually was thinking of removing the "home" part of the tree and just making the first real page the home page by default.
Image linking. I'll put that in a recommendation.
Embedding Stuff. This is in our plans already. We have a really cool implementation idea for this. :)
I recently moved to NYC to work at a hedge fund after giving up an alternate offer at Google last year. You could say my timing wasn't the best.
I would say the experience as a developer/analyst in any hedge fund or bank depends on 1. How well is it doing (PnL) ? Affects your job prospects and compensation/bonus. 2. How much alpha do you contribute to ? (back office vs mid office vs front office). You make more closer you are to the market, projects are much more exciting and you learn real world finance from the frontlines 3. People and Culture. 4. Compensation: Wall street pays base + bonus where latter takes more and more importance with time. Normally they can grow way faster than any silicon valley firm. But in these times, hard to say unless you work at a place that is still doing quite well.
I love where I am right now because I love learning and I am practically overwhelmed with how much I can learn and grow in my current position + people around me are fantastic (insanely smart brains + nice people). My projects have ranged from script automaton to price modeling, and there is much more to come as I learn. That keeps me excited.
While a lot of these are good behavioral techniques to project confidence, for the long term there is no substitute to create a healthy self-image that just makes you very cool to be around without even trying. Just like we have an opinion about our friends, people at work and so on, we also have an opinion about ourselves, both at conscious and subconscious levels. A lot of happiness and events in life stems directly from what opinion you hold of yourself. And eventually that opinion leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy...i.e. if you think you are no good in a particular setting, it eventually becomes so.
A strong self-image can totally turn around your relationship with other people, your work and environment
