Accepted for 1 year MBA, starting August. I don’t believe remote will be such a good experience as I am most interested in the exchange and networking. Anyone considering to not do the mba?

I’m scared that first half will be completely remote. Very expensive for this as I would need to take a loan...

Is it possible to defer for a year?

I would defer

I deferred mine

How did you defer? Do all schools allow it?

Can you still defer if you already committed especially given the covid situation?

Hi,
Can anyone suggest what should I do ? I am joining Citi next week and the team I’m assigned I heard has very hectic schedule and strict 3 days wfo and today I got a selection email from another company who are offering permanent WFH , due to certain internal approvals , the offer could be shared only next Wednesday, As I’m more inclined towards the latter. Is it possible to get early termination once my new offer comes through or I have to serve 3 months NP?

Today I finally took the day off for my mental health. This year, I lost my childhood dog of 16 years, am planning my wedding in the time of corona, and dealing with an emotional/verbally abusive parent. Was traveling coast to coast weekly before quarantine set in and never took time to grieve or process things. And since WFH it’s been 60 hour weeks and some weekends working. Today after some hurtful comments from my dad, it hit me like a ton of bricks. Glad I took this day to reset.

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.

Hi everyone🙂

This is my first time posting on this app. I see here working professionals from almost all the big companies, so I would be really grateful if someone could help in switching from my current company.
I joined SoftwareONE as a fresher and it has been 2.4 years working here. I would be suitable for profiles like procurement Specialist, vendor management, customer portfolio management, operations and end to end customer account management (i.e. from RFQs to invoicing)

Thank you
