Job Opportunity at Berkshire Hathaway

Hello Friends,

I hear that Berkshire Hathaway's current Chairman, Warren Buffett, is looking for candidates to take on the CEO and Head Investor roles at Berkshire Hathaway (two separate positions).

He's currently accepting resumes, and is looking for:

▪Young business leaders who can recognize and avoid serious risks
▪Has an impressive management and business pedigree
▪Willing to commute and live in Omaha, Nebraska
▪Likes to drink Cherry Coke and eat hamburgers

Unfortunately, starting salary wasn't disclosed, but mind you that Berkshire's current portfolio value is $63 billion. Without trying to determine the psychic income from working with Warren Buffett, I think the compensation will be competitive.
