Hoping to get in MBB but will be happy w/ T2 (OW, LEK, etc.) as well. Curious on:

Better than mine was at graduation.

For a minute I thought it was negative 3.7 and I was like what! 😆🙈🤦🏻‍♀️
Look for tech sales and sales enablement roles OP!

I'm completely over the sales lifestyle, have my sights completely on MC

It’s all about your network & connections and if your interviews are stellar. Do you know anyone at MBB currently?

find someone from your college if you’re a fairly recent grad, or ask your friends what their parents do // just search on linkedin

Has anyone been given an offer or received further movement on their application after a month or more from your last interview? Not sure if it’s odd that the company reached out after my final round interview to have a call and “discuss next steps” but then they haven’t responded to me since I’ve followed up (I’ve poked 3 times every 11 days or so but I plan to leave it be now until they respond).

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
