Anyone else care more about getting into a top grad school (ivy- MIT-Stanford) more to please your grandparents and overseas relatives than the career benefits? I feel a weight has been lifted as the eldest sibling

As a European I only considered MIT / Stanford/Harvard for B-school as I would have had to have too many arguments otherwise.

Outside of the US it's often the three above + Yale/Princeton or bust

I am aware Princeton has no B-school and Yale SOM is rated far behind Booth, Kellogg etc.

I am talking about school prestige in general.
E.g. Harvard and John's Hopkins are great med schools, but Harvard Med is significantly better known globally.

My decision is mainly driven by my want to be better setup in my career. However, I can't lie and say that there isnt a part of me that wants to get an ivy bschool degree because both my grandfathers loved school and education but were forced to leave school early in life to work in order to put food on the table, and this in some weird way validates the struggle them and my parents went through to put me on even footing. If it was for the career opportunity probably wouldn't but still a small part of my reason.

How do you all take care of things outside of work? The last thing I want to do after being hyper-organized at work is figuring out my budget or retirement plan or scrubbing the bathtub or figuring out what to buy at the grocery or planning a vacation. I feel so burnt out I can only just sleep on weekends and can’t bring myself to go out or even do basic self care. I feel bad putting this all on my husband and how would I even have the energy to raise kids??

Hi people. I have availed enhanced health insurance coverage offered by EY GDS.

Some amount was cut under 'Insurance Deduction' in April and nothing in May and June. In July and August, they have deducted amount under 'Insurance Topup Deduction' and some amount under 'Insurance Deduction Others' with no explanation whatsoever! No tax exemption is also provided for senior citizens.

Any idea folks? Also, whom should we reach out to for such queries?
