O&G industry shorthand for $1,000

wut?

quote:

---

$M for 1,000 and $MM for 1,000,000

---

This makes 0 sense, compared to this

quote:

---

$k for 1,000 and $m for a 1,000,000.

ETA: Congrats on padding their books

Have always used m and mm in banking, but when i send an email to someone in a different industry I usually just type it all the way out so there isn’t any confusion.

I use shorthand $1K for $1,000 and $1M for $1,000,000 all the time.

Always preferred 100000¢ and 100,000,000¢ so there’s no confusion

I can tell you will go far in your career. If you're getting hung up on this sort of minutiae, you're focused on the wrong things.

In the financial profession, you should be focused on the bottom line and demonstrating how you have paid for yourself 3x on an annual basis, not nomenclature.

Also, last job syndrome is one of the most off putting traits of a new employee.

When preparing informal bids for O&G clients we use K and MM.

I use $10e3 and $10e6.

quote:

---

We use K and M where I'm at. K for Kilo, M for Million. Bossman said it's back assward to use MM when theres only one M in Million. Gotta agree with him there

---

Can't use MM because there is only one M in million, but has no problem using K then there are zero Ks in thousand and a capital K stands for Kelvin.

1000 is M. 1000000 is MM.
