Be real with me, how much does prestige matter? I’m torn between applying to a top 10 where I’d be a stretch and a T30 where I’m solidly competitive. I want the network, but I also want to actually get in. Would you rather shoot your shot at dream schools or focus where odds are better?

Prestige is not what its about imo. An M7/T10 MBA opens doors and opportunities that you would not otherwise have.

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
