Considering the current situation with covid, is it a good time to apply?(some schools waiving the GMAT test score requirement) or a bad time to apply (the economy and post grad job market) ?

I’m struggling between 2 offers:
MBB SA (175K TC) and FANG Financial Analyst (220K TC). I’ve wanted to work for MBB for 4 years, but I’m about to head to get an MBA. Neither will sponsor but MBB will allow me to come back as post-MBA level even with ~4 months of experience pre-MBA. Can I go wrong here? I don’t know what I want to do long term yet and I’m hoping my MBA can help me figure it out

What are my M7 chances? 760 GMAT, 3.3 GPA in engineering from top 10 undergrad, engineering grad degree too, 2 years of work experience at time of matriculation, Deloitte federal tech.

I graduated from GSU majoring in Film and Art. I have begun studying Art Direction at a portfolio school that is unexpectedly closing down. Prior to Covid, I had been in commercial casting in Atlanta for almost 10 years. Now, I’m in the process of polishing my portfolio as well as creating new book worthy material (on my own). Would a Creative currently working in the field mind providing a newbie with some critique? TIA

One positive of the COVID 19 (please don’t rip me a new one for saying that) is I needed monitors for my new house’s home office and now Deloitte gave me a buy one get one basically.

Slightly off topic, call it the “social” aspect of bschool; I’m a 24M (early grad), if I matriculate at 25 is that too early to really enjoy it? All the school stats average around 28 y/o and I’m not sure how people especially women of that age look at single 25 year old guys not looking for any serious relationships...

Any Rice MBA applicants/admits here?

How much scholarship can you expect as a full-time MBA?

Any local career coach recs? Husband is trying to transition back into workforce after COVID downsizing , he’s been contracting for a small firm but they don’t have resources to bring him on full time.

My wife’s 30th birthday is coming up at the end April. I want to do something nice for her but obviously there are Covid constraints. Any good ideas or recommendations? She’s not a fancy dinner kind of person so defaulting to that doesn’t work haha thanks in advance.

I'm about to start my part-time MBA. Already feel like dropping out...

How is the job market for FPA Managers? I transferred into finance 2 years ago and I’m having trouble getting interviews for an FPA Manager role. I’m a CPA with a Masters degree. I had about 5 years experience in accounting (2.5 public accounting) before I made the transition into Finance. Didn’t think it would be this difficult. Is it the covid economy or are Manager level jobs harder to get?

This might not be popular here but does anyone else dislike Elon Musk? All the fact free covid tantrums, idiotic humor, treatment of his workers, reports by ex wives, and seriously its enough with doge coin already. Why is it so fun for him to whip up a frenzy and get so many poor and working class folks to buy it?

He’s digging himself and his companies into a bigger and bigger hole the more solely responsible for this mania he becomes, and it seems publicly like all he cares about.

Waiting for GSAP decision but have an mbb offer… not sure what’s the right move here. Wanted to go to bschool for the life experience

It’s so hot, and instead of answering recruiters emails/calls I now am just trying to survive. I answered 3 calls randomly yesterday. 2 were crappy. One was a $87k offer with apple through Tata consulting services— which idk if that’s shitty or not. It’s “remote till Covid ends”

Woke up today and tech mahindra recruiter from last week wants to put me through a technical interview at $110k for a role in Redmond WA for an iOS dev role @ $110k. I think it’s also “remote till Covid ends” but idk 🤞

I left my old firm and started my own firm in September. I have already started to get client referrals and so far I am working from my home only - because it’s COVID time and people know Zoom now. I do estate planning and elder law, which lends itself to meeting clients at their locations when needed. I had a client drop off documents I need to review at my house this week and this was fine with the client. Do any attorneys here open their own home to clients ever for meetings?

Hi there, I'm an engineer (ME+EE) with a BS/MS with experience in engineering, Program management and tech sales. I've been applying to Google and a few other FAANG companies for PM roles but without any luck so far. I'm prepared to got to BSchool (already have my GMAT done) to make it happen but want to know if there may be a more expedient way.
Any advice?

I feel like I’ve been stuck in this salary band for the last 5 years. In my interviewing experience, Canadian companies aren’t willing to pay more for full-time employees. Where do I go from here? What companies should I be applying to? I’d consider an MBA or masters if I could guarantee an ROI in earning potential.

i he/she says they want something "casual" doest it hit and go?

I have had a rough time with Visa and Mastercard. Bought V at 213, MA at 338. Should I add to those positions further? Also got some SQ today at 209 and looking to get more as it hits 200.

Startinf to plan for MBA but have 0 idea how to start planning for GMAT. When should i aim to take the test, taking application deadlines into consideration? What do admissions think about GMAT scores that are 2 years old? I understand we are able to select which schools we send our scores to during testing day, how do you go about figuring what your target schools are? (Some may say see what scores you get but is this a chicken and egg situation?) any insight or recommendations appreciated!

need 11 ❤️’s so I can direct message a recruiter. Can y’all help? Thanks in advance!

Aiming to do GRE / GMAT for round 2. Seems like a GRE of at least 324 for m7 looks about like the ‘minimum’ for a checked off box. So does a 720 for GMAT. Suggestions on which to take ? (Obviously a 330+ GRE or a 750+ GMAT would be stellar, but meeting the average / median seems like a good start.)

720 GMAT, 3.7 GPA in accounting (small liberal arts school), CPA, 8 YOE with strong career growth. Entrepreneurial side projects that I’ve worked to get off the ground (pitched to investors, built MVP, incorporated and brought on devs with equity, etc). How long of a shot is GSB or HBS?

Third try still stuck at 720 GMAT should I try the GRE instead? Need to make up for a 3.4 and shooting for M7
