No More Salary Guesswork - or Poker Games!
Introduction: “The Flop” in Poker and in Job Hunting Are you a poker player? If not, are you one of the many, many of us who have wandered into watching one of the thousand channels we now have and watched a poker show at 2 a.m.? Now, there are two, mutually exclusive schools of thought when it comes to watching “professional” poker players wager thousands - often tens of thousands of dollars or even more - on your big-screen TV. Either you find this exhilarating, in that you can live vicariously - and far more cheaply - by watching others gamble on a high-stakes turn of the cards, or you find it akin to watching paint dry. However, one thing is for sure: These shows do definitely draw eyeballs, as people - out of either sheer fascination or sheer boredom (and yes, they do count the same to marketers!) - will watch these shows and give their attention not just to the obvious ads inserted into what is largely very well-produced and choreographed entertaining shows, but also to the players’ sponsors, who adorn their shirts and visors with logos of some very prominent firms outside of the gaming sector!

The Next Global Superpower Isn't Who You Think
The world is now faced with a significant question: Who holds the reins of power? In the past, answering this question was straightforward. If you belong to the generation above 45, you experienced a world where two dominant forces, the United States and the Soviet Union, dictated the course of events. This created a bipolar global landscape. Conversely, if you are under 45, you grew up in a post-Soviet era, where the United States emerged as the sole superpower, exercising not only its influence over global institutions but also its raw power. This resulted in a unipolar world. However, approximately 15 years ago, the dynamics became more intricate. The United States progressively distanced itself from its role as the world's policeman, the architect of global trade, and even the advocate for global values. Other nations rose in power, enabling them to disregard rules they found unfavorable and even establish new ones.Three main factors have contributed to the current geopolitical tensions. Firstly, Russia's exclusion from Western institutions has caused frustration and anger as the country experiences a significant decline in power. Secondly, China's integration into US-led institutions was based on the assumption that they would adopt American values as they became wealthier and more influential. However, China's distinct identity has remained, leading to discomfort on the part of the United States. Lastly, globalization has left many citizens in wealthy democracies feeling marginalized and ignored, resulting in a sense of illegitimacy towards their governments and leaders. These three factors account for over 90% of the headlines driving geopolitical conflicts today, ultimately creating a leaderless world. However, this state of affairs is not expected to last. The future will bring a different world order, one that is not bipolar, unipolar, or even multipolar. Instead, there will be three distinct orders, partially overlapping, with the third order holding immense significance for our lives, beliefs, desires, and actions. Currently, we have a global security order where the United States and its allies hold the most power. The US possesses unmatched military capabilities, allowing it to deploy soldiers, sailors, and equipment to any part of the world. China, on the other hand, is primarily focused on military growth in Asia. This has raised concerns among American allies in the region, leading to increased reliance on the US for security. With Russia's invasion of Ukraine, European allies have also become more dependent on the US and NATO for protection. While Russia and China possess nuclear weapons, the fear of mutually assured destruction prevents their use. As a result, the global security order remains unipolar and is likely to remain so for the next decade. In addition to the security order, there exists a global economic order characterized by shared power. While the United States maintains a strong position in the global economy, it cannot assert its military dominance to enforce economic decisions on other countries.
