Is it foolish to defer HSW a year for MBB analyst level in SEA/Greater China?

Stats: no name UG and 2.5 yoe in no name consulting in states, 24M ORM international

Post MBA goal: MBB VC PE IM (really not sure) in SEA/Greater China

Pro for MBB: try out whether I like it and if not can pivot again in MBA; pre MBA MBB might open more doors in VC PE IM in SEA/Greater China

Pro for HSW: faster transition to MBB post MBA level then can re-pivot; not "lagging" a year for analyst shit pay

WFH office space—for those of us who like to have a bunch of physical copies of client files/case binders, etc., what does your storage space look like? Talking cabinets, shelving, and the like. Bonus points if you’ve figured out how to make it work in a small NY apt without feeling like you’re sitting in a sea of stacked case files

I’m debating with my friend how we all are gonna die. She says it’ll be when the sun becomes a supernova and gravity will kill us all. I think global warming might kill us all before that due to sea level rise and the ice caps melting. It’s also possible that dinosaurs might be resurrected and they could eat us all. How do you all think the world is gonna and end? Do you think mankind would perish before the end of the world? How do you think it’s gonna happen?

Heading to the slopes today! This Tag is my favorite sport watch. Not the most expensive piece I’ve got, but is perfect for what it does.

Recruiters: How do you feel about candidates reaching out to you directly?


I recently started applying to jobs after taking the past year off. The issue is that I’ve already applied to close to a dozen tech companies in the last 2 weeks,but am getting radio silence.

For this reason, I’d like to stand out somehow…is being messaged directly on LinkedIn acceptable?
