Amazing profile! Is the space that your startup is in related to your post-MBA goals?

750 GMAT, 4 YOE at MBB… is this really an inspirational story for us? how are the rest of us normal folks supposed to compete with that?

If it helps A1, I got in to HBS now too. Had a shit GRE score. 6 years at Deloitte. What I think stood out for me was my extensive community organizing and volunteering experience. But all to say, it’s possible.

I am on notice period with Tata Consultancy with 2 months remaining with an offer in hand where the joining date is just after notice period ends. Now, I got early release from current company and thus, I saved 2 months. But I want to use these 2 months for travelling, upskilling and looking for better offers instead of contacting the new company for early joining. So, if I join the new company after 2 months will this be considered as a 'gap' in my profile in the future and will it be harmful?
