on: Netflix's Annual Reports (10-Ks) used to be a work of art. What happened?
What happened was Barry McCarthy, who was CFO at Netflix till 2010, left Netflix. Barry was an exceedingly creative and forward thinking CFO. He was the CFO responsible for taking Spotify public via direct listing in 2018, which was an incredibly bold move at the time. Definitely creative as far as CFOs go.

Ah yes this is exactly what I needed. I was recently trying to start a CL project but I had trouble wading through all the outdated material, especially with regards to including external packages. Thanks for putting this together!

To your point, pretty much everyone who's ever been on SNL made their way there through The Second City.

Boeing planes are assembled in Seattle; their HQ is in Chicago.
Do people aspire to work in health, energy or finance, or even software aside from the money? If so, what difference does it make?

I think you're a bit misinformed. Chicago has two large keystone industries that serve the global economy: (1) Industrial large scale manufacturing (Boeing, John Deere, Caterpillar), (2) Insurance (all of them); not to mention a ton of Food and Agriculture HQs are based there as well.
