Centerbridge's cofounder says Wall Street is missing great hires
Wall Street's best hires don't look anything like the résumés it worships, said Jeff Aronson, a cofounder of Centerbridge Partners, a private equity firm managing more than $42 billion in assets. "I joke with people I couldn't get a job at my own firm," Aronson said in the Goldman Sachs "Exchanges" podcast on July 16. "I didn't go to an Ivy League school. I didn't graduate Phi Beta Kappa. I don't speak six languages. I didn't discover the cure for cancer when I was nine years old," he said in the recording uploaded on Tuesday. Aronson came up through Johns Hopkins, where he earned a BA with honors, and NYU School of Law, a path outside the Ivy League track that dominates Wall Street recruiting. US News and World Report ranks Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins sixth on its top national universities list. Wall Street is often stereotyped as an Ivy League stronghold. But data from Revelio Labs showed that only 11.7% of New York-based front-office workers at top firms — including JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup — graduated from Ivy-plus schools, defined as the Ivy League plus Chicago, Stanford, Duke, and MIT. For Aronson, credentials aren't what make someone a great investor. What matters is mindset, he said. "Attributes, it's the same thing that you folks look for: people who are smart and hardworking and driven," he said. But he also prizes people who are "really intellectually curious." That's partly why he believes Wall Street keeps overlooking promising talent. "So we're all scrambling and tripping over ourselves, looking for the same people," Aronson said. But the real edge comes from hiring those who think independently, he said. He recalled asking candidates whether they compared notes with friends on the buy side — a question he phrased to encourage a "yes." But what he actually wanted to hear was a "no" — because he wanted people who would do their own work, and make their own decisions. That contrarian streak has also shaped where he looks for talent. Rather than only competing for the same Ivy League graduates as every other firm, Aronson also turned his attention to the City University of New York. With over 240,000 degree-program students, CUNY is the largest public urban university in the US, but one that few Wall Street recruiters seriously consider. "I met some of these kids, and they were smart and they were hardworking. But you know what else they had? They had grit. There was no millennial stuff," he said. "Zero. They had grit. Most of them worked their way through school. And so we started hiring them. And all they wanted — it reminded me a little like when I started. 'I just want a chance. Give me a chance,'" Aronson said. "And we started hiring these kids, and they were great," he said. Calling CUNY "the undiscovered jewel that no one's thinking about," Aronson has partnered with John Waldron, president of Goldman, and billionaire Mike Bloomberg to invest millions into programs linking its students with finance jobs. The initiative, he added, has been a win for everyone involved: "It's been a huge win for these students. It's been great for New York City. And it's been smart business."

Google Pixel Watch 4 — 5 reasons to buy (and 2 reasons to skip)
The Google Pixel Watch 4 has officially been announced, but is it worth the upgrade? While you have until October 9 to decide — that's when the new smartwatch hits stores — there are reasons to both snag the latest Google smartwatch and reasons to let it pass you by. With a starting cost of $349, the Google Pixel Watch 4 is the same price as the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 and $50 less than the Apple Watch Series 10. Like last year's model, it's available in your choice of 41mm or 45mm. Boasting enhancements both outside and internally, the Pixel Watch 4 is well positioned to nab the title of best smartwatch for Android in 2025. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's worth the upgrade if you have, say, the Pixel Watch 3. With that in mind, as a full-time smartwatch reviewer, these are the five biggest reasons I'd buy the Pixel Watch 4 and two key reasons why I'd skip it. The Google Pixel Watch 4 is the first and only smartwatch with satellite SOS messaging to connect you to emergency services, even when you're off the grid/out of cell range. Best of all, you don't need a smartphone with you to use it. When a satellite SOS is triggered, the user will be connected via messaging to someone who can help. The feature also notifies your emergency contacts. For hikers and outdoor enthusiasts in general, I could see this being a major selling point of the Pixel Watch 4, and from my conversations with Google engineers, prior Pixel Watch models will not be getting SOS messaging due to hardware limitations. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. It's worth noting that this new potentially life-saving safety tool is only available for users in the contiguous U.S., and you'll need to spring for the pricier LTE version of the watch to unlock it. That boosts the cost of the $349 41mm Pixel Watch 4 to $449. That said, you don't actually need to have LTE service on the watch, though Google does offer two years free if you buy the device through them directly or Best Buy. Not only do the latest Pixel Watch 4 devices sport larger capacity batteries than their predecessors, but an updated processor brings about 50% more efficient power consumption with 25% greater speed, according to Google's claims. Google says that combo translates to 25% better battery performance for the latest smartwatch line. While the Pixel Watch 3 was rated to last for just 24 hours per charge, Google says that the 41mm Pixel Watch 4 should last for 30 hours per charge, while the larger model should go for 40 hours. Not only has battery performance improved, but the Pixel Watch 4 charges faster than any previous model. Google says you can get 15 hours of battery life — or a 50% charge on the 41mm Pixel Watch 4 — in just 15 minutes of charging. A full charge takes just 45 minutes. By comparison, the Pixel Watch 3 took roughly 25 minutes to reach 50% and an hour to hit 100% charge. A new domed glass screen and slimmer bezel result in a 10% larger screen on the Pixel Watch 4 compared to the 3. The display is also 50% brighter, maxing out at 3,000 nits — the same as the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 — compared to 2,000 nits for the Pixel Watch 2. This should make the new Pixel Watch easier to read at a glance, particularly in direct sunlight. The Pixel Watch 4 is Google's first smartwatch with dual-band GPS. What does that mean? More bands = more reliable/precise tracking. This is especially true when recording a workout in dense cities with buildings obstructing the sky. The same is true for folks who enjoy exercising amongst the trees. While the Pixel Watch 4 has an updated body temperature sensor for improved sleep tracking data — namely, more precise sleep stage analysis — the fitness tracking features are essentially a match with the Pixel Watch 3. Google has added support for some new activities, though, including basketball, American football, and everyone's favorite pastime, pickleball. Those hoping for a major design overhaul for the Pixel Watch series, similar to what Samsung did with this year's Galaxy Watch line, will be disappointed. The Google Pixel Watch 4 looks pretty much exactly the same as every other Pixel Watch before it. In fact, the 41mm and 45mm models have the same dimensions and weight as last year's models. Sure, the bezel has shrunk down over four generations, but the physical controls remain the same, as does the overall design ethos.
