New York City started its closely watched clampdown on short-term rentals like Airbnb last year. So far, it’s mostly benefited the hotels: occupancy and room rates are way up. Read more in the Sunday edition of Insider Today.

New for Business Insider: Many Americans started their financial independence journeys later in life but are on pace to meet their early retirement goals. While much attention in the community is devoted to those retiring well before 65 or starting their journeys young, Gen Xers told Business Insider they're working to draw attention to "late bloomers" who dug themselves out of years of debt or only started budgeting midcareer. Late starters told BI they could still achieve many of their financial goals despite years of financial instability. All said it took years of hard work to get back on track, though they agreed their strategies aren't out of reach for many Americans. "As a late starter, you feel isolated, you feel ashamed, you don't want to tell anybody you're not good at talking about money," one source said. "Late starters don't feel spoken to in the financial independence movement, and that's when they discover us. They all universally say, I found my tribe."

It's hard to escape the hype around generative AI. Every day, there's a new headline about companies using it to radically boost their productivity and profits. But many more companies are unsure about where to start with the technology, and they're turning to consulting firms for help. The concerns range from where to invest resources and training on generative AI to how to get employees excited about it. And after a couple of slow years, consulting firms are betting on AI advice as a big moneymaker. My colleague Tim Paradis and I asked firms, including Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain & Company, and Deloitte, to share the most common questions they get from clients — and their best advice. Head to Business Insider to read the full story. #consulting #generativeAI
AI advice is the new moneymaker for consultants. Here's what BCG, Bain, and Deloitte are telling clients.

Exclusive: It took a woman almost 3 years and cost her $200,000 to kick a tenant out of her LA home. She says she burst into tears when she saw the condition he left it in - bloody floors and, confusingly, a life-sized dummy with zip ties. https://lnkd.in/ejMdVYZt

Everything is recorded, you must constantly rate your coworkers and be rated, and you have to rank your teammates from most to least helpful — it could be an episode of Black Mirror, or it could be what it's like working at Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund. Daria Rose shares the ins and outs of interning at Ray Dalio's company, where radical truth and radical transparency were core principles. Constant feedback was not only encouraged but expected, and gossip was forbidden. Despite the intense culture, Daria loved her time at Bridgewater, calling it "transformative and eye-opening." "My Bridgewater experience prepared me to understand that everyone will have judgments or perceptions about you, but you don't have to take them all in," she reflects. Read more about Daria's experience in my article for Business Insider:
My internship at Bridgewater Associates felt like a 'Black Mirror' episode.

Rejection hurts, and it's easy to feel defeated and give up. Not Qingyue(Annie) Wang, though. She was rejected from Google not once, not twice, but seven times. Each rejection hurt, but she came back time after time, determined to try again. She spent hours and hours studying C++ and preparing for interviews, but seemed to keep coming up short. Still, she reminded herself that her rejections weren't a reflection of her abilities, bravery, hard work, or willingness to learn. In 2022, after a recruiter reached out to her about applying again, she finally landed her dream job as a software engineer at Google. When she got the phone call, she couldn't believe it. Two years and three apartments later, she still keeps her Google welcome letter on her shelf and looks at it every day. "It reminds me of my tenacity and inspires me to keep pursuing my goals," she writes. Read more of Qingyue(Annie)'s words, edited by me, at Business Insider:
Google rejected me 7 times before finally hiring me as a software engineer. Looking back, I'm deeply grateful for not giving up.

New from me for Business Insider: Retailers have new friends in their battle to steal ad dollars from Amazon: Meta and Google. Recently, there has been a flurry of deals between retail companies and giant platforms. Instacart is making YouTube ads shoppable. Shopify is expanding to Canada a program that buys Meta and Google ads on behalf of merchants. And Kroger inked a deal to sell targeted Meta ads for grocery-focused brands. To pull off these partnerships, retailers need to convince brands to fork over big branding dollars. But I'm curious about how much brands can justify putting into retail media — how much are TV and social dollars realistically moving to retailers? https://lnkd.in/g76HFpRv

LeetCode problems in tech interviews are going to be extinct in five years. Here's why. In a typical coding assessment, an engineer asks a job candidate to write some code that solves a puzzle, such as "find the median of two sorted arrays" or "given a phone number, return all possible letter combinations on a keypad." The problem with these questions is that they can be easily gamed. Engineers turn to websites like LeetCode or HackerRank to study the data structures and algorithms they'll be quizzed on. And now, candidates are plugging problems into #ChatGPT to get the answer. For my latest report in Business Insider, I asked two dozen founders, executives, recruiters, and venture capitalists how companies are approaching technical interviews in the age of chatbots: https://lnkd.in/gNRMFiui They're already seeing companies rethink their questions to get around cheating. Startups like Squid Cloud and Zeta are moving away from LeetCode problems to open-ended questions based on real challenges they're facing. Plus, engineers are asking the "second, deeper question" to get at a candidate's understanding. "If they are able to use AI to augment their development capabilities, that's great," Mang-Git Ng, chief executive of Anvil - Document SDK, said. "But they still need to be able to explain what the code is doing, which helps us weed out the people that just rely on ChatGPT to write code for them." Some of the platforms for screening and testing technical talent are skating to where the puck is going to be. CoderPad and CodeSignal have integrated chatbots into their dev environments for candidates to write code and debug solutions, while Codility has created a question bank of "chatbot-resistant" tasks. It seems only a matter of time before the technical interview is fully open book. "If you decide to make your technical phone screen open book," says Aline Lerner, whose company interviewing.io provides mock technical interviews, "the burden is higher on you to come up with a fantastic question."
