Any good weekend getaways for March from NYC?

All of my writers are busy. Went FT, family stuff, already booked. I had to leave a 5 week contract on the table because I don’t have a deep enough writer pool. I’m 17 years in the biz, have awards and primarily do TV and Digital. CD/AD. Anyone interested in building a professional partnership? Let me know.

Tech startup or big tech company? And why?

I have my visa stamped from previous employer, valid until 2024. I recently switched my job and got H1B transfer approved. When I go abroad next time, do I need to get new visa stamped for my current employer?

My other half (currently a Sr. Mgr in the data analytics consulting industry in UK) wants to work in Singapore - is there some sort of parents' visa so that his parents can tag along to stay in SG for the long term? Worried about them as he is the only child. His parents have the money to buy a condo if it helps with their long term stay situation.

Can somebody tells ne about their interview experience in Adobe for MTS2 role?
What kind of questions were asked?

Do they focus on system design as well for MTS2 role?

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included). It felt like a little while ago agencies were begging to hire new talent, and most couldn’t find new people. Is it really that hard to get a job at an agency? Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.

Moving to Dallas y’all!

Any connects for black design professionals?

Interviewing question: for anecdotal “tell me abt a time when..”, & similar questions - are you allowed to recycle stories from your undergrad years or do they only look for post grad/work stuff? Afraid some of the stories that sounded okay at undergrad recruiting might now come across as a bit “lightweight” in this context...like would they eye roll if we start talking about that one time we did a science competition sophomore year of college (even though it taught an important lesson)..etc.🤔

How do I avoid coming off as a “smart but lazy” applicant? Have very high test scores but very low gpa.

Is anyone else unable to access their MIT Sloan app right now?

Are gsb invites done?

Got a 690 gmat, should I retake? Plan to apply for part-time HaaS next year.

Heading to an M7 soon from a tech company where I work in a product-adjacent position. I didn’t need this degree to “break into” product management (former company would have let me transition), but I still figured it could be good for the long run.
Now when thinking about 100K in loans, I feel anxious about not getting a PM role after. Was this the right move?

Is anyone else having trouble adding the First Day event on the Booth app?

Whats the best reputable MBA program for Florida placements?

I see a lot of the applications state that (in the event you can’t take the GMAT due to COVID) a minimum GMAT score will be required if admitted as stated in the admissions letter. Any guesses on what a minimum GMAT score would be for M7?

I got an offer from HBS and Wharton last year. GMAT: 740. Background: male, top 20 state school. I was at big 4 at the time. Applied R2. AMA. Good luck to everyone!

How bad is it to defer acceptance by a year, but then reapply to other preferred schools next application cycle in hopes of getting a better offer?

Will CBS let me know if I don’t get merit or need based aid?

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

Going to Ross in the fall but went to penn state undergrad.. who do I root for 🥵🥵🥵

Admitted to NYU Stern and my post MBA goal is IBD at a BB at NYC. Should I consider this good enough given my goal?

GSB admits- is there something similar to the estimate your aid tool at HBS? Anecdotally heard they had one last year but can't see anything on the portal.

Had an interview with a second year current student. I only saw her when the interview started. Name and contact info of the interviewer have not been provided. Is it okay to not write thank you letter? Felt the interview went okay.

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3. Assuming I get into CBS/Wharton, is there that much of a difference between them to forgo scholarship money? For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

Friend of mine just got a second interview with Boston Consulting Group (believe they only do 2 rounds). I am really rooting for her.

Anyone know if getting to the second round is a big deal? Or do they move a lot of people on and cut everyone after the second round?

Second round is next Friday, any tips I can give her?

What time does Wharton release interview decision tmrw? And how does scheduling work? Anyone know the interview period? Thanks!
