Did anyone do a post-grad degree at London School of Economics? What was your experience? Coming from the US if that matters...

Not LSE but I did CIMA at LSBF. I loved it. Would highly recommend and do it again! I lived in London at the time as well as which made it great.

I know several folks who did and all rave about the experience.

DM me

I chose Oxford instead, and absolutely loved it.

Did undergrad there and it’s a very quant degree - have heard analogies that similar schools in the US would be Columbia/UChicago. Target school for finance but not so much for consulting, was tough breaking into consulting from there as there was a preference to interviewing Oxbridge students.

I beg to differ in the case of my post graduate degree in Management. I had been sent off to career fairs and rubbed shoulders with all sorts of consultancies and other professional firms. Undergrads and postgraduates are invited to many of them. There are also the University of London career fairs that all UOL colleges and schools participate it. Sorry but I don’t think there was any less of a preference as “Oxbridge” as you call it don’t only have all the graduates they need and look for.

I did an MSc program at LSE (albeit, 18 yrs ago now) and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. Great experience!

Hi

I am currently working with GDS. However i am planning to shift to UK.. is it fine that i apply for ey uk externally or there are any restrictions.

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced. The timeframe for the full transition of all work to the vendors is approximately 6 months. This is the second time in 14 months I have had to look for another position due to outsourcing of work. Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

Hey fishes,

I have a question. Currently I'm working in Mindtree as a Infrastructure Engineer and basically there is nothing much technical in it.

I am very much interested in cloud and Devops and currently started learning about it as well.

I just wanted to know, how much tough it would be for me to switch from a support role to Devops role? (I am having 14 months of experience)

Consulting bowl I need your advice tonight. 5 YOE in corp finance (industry). Just got an offer for different finance (still industry) role - 50% raise to $165K TC plus two additional direct reports to me. However, I got my MBA to transition to consulting and am in beginning stages of two top consulting firms. I need to give an answer on the offer by tomorrow afternoon. What do I do? If I expedite the consulting firms processes they may (likely will) say no. Thanks
