My advice? Do as little as you can get away with at your job for two months and don’t prolong studying.
How you did in your job those two months will likely hardly matter once you make it into bschool

Thank you! I’m trying to ease back — I’m finding it hard to have “light mode” in work

In my opinion, I wish I didn’t waste time on their verbal - it’s trash. Focus on the quant

Also recommend trying to determine whether gre or gmat is for you while it’s still early

It’s a grind but what I found useful was to remind myself of the WHY every time I felt burnt out. Hang in there, it’s worth it!

Looking to get some feedback on this investment strategy: Contribute 100% of the allowed limit in ESPP program(15% of base) to get full company match(15% of my contribution). Sell it on the same day it vests(vests starting of every month) and then invest that money in vgt and voo. I understand the short term tax implications but still feels it is better to invest in etf than in company’s stocks. Thoughts?

smart

What will be the inhand for this with proper taxation?
