Asking as rearranged last week and luckily got into the airlines before they exploded and now I’m sitting about 50% up on delta. And after selling Zoom way to early (used to buy my delta), I’m not sure whether to take the cash or let it ride more. This fast a rally makes me think it will plummet soon

I’m currently based in the Uk and recently moved to finance from an engineering role. My COO seems to believe I am amazing and would excel better & faster if I did an MBA in America.

Relocating to America is such a big ask but I wonder, is an MBA worth it? I decided a good compromise would be to do it in the UK but he seems to believe that US is better.

I’m not sure if I want to commit to the costs of an MBA as I believe there are other ways nowadays besides an MBA.

Is it “easier” to make partner at T2 or Big 4? From what I’ve seen it seems like everyone gunning for partner at Big4 creates a hyper competitive environment and requires both politics and numbers.

Anyone know of any free certs/trainings at the moment that are worth completing?
