FWIW: I got in from B School with a 3.4 GPA in Engineering, and I didn’t list it on my resume.

Most people don't realize how hard it is to get good grades in engineering ... the struggle was super real

No, not if you have relevant work experience.

No. 3.4 doesn't exactly jump off the page.

You can easily tell what kind of school somebody went to if they think a 3.4 in engineering should be hidden

^right. But people do get 3.8+ on engineering.

Similar question but would you put the GPA on if you had nearly a 4.0 in engineering? I think it works in my favor but not sure if undergrad GPAs are always supposed to be left off once you have work experience?

Resumes are supposed to list your strong points and career achievements. If you've graduated from a program that isn't generous on GPA and if you think you've done a good job securing a 3.4, then might as well list it and talk about it briefly in your interview as a starting point of your strengths

like

If it’s a 4.0 and within the last 6 years, yes list it

like

As a rule, if it’s under 3.5 I wouldn’t show it.

like

A2 you can state that you graduated with honors

I wouldn’t

Thanks!

Please don't put a 3.4 OP, no matter how rigorous the school program was

Wow- lots of focus on gpa- it does not matter at all if you have experience- also since consulting is a relationship industry, you could argue a 4.0 in a difficult engineering program spent too much time studying and not enough on building a network, relationships, and life skills

No

ATK. You could. But GPA is still a pretty good, if imperfect, indicator of ability and hard work ( in varying proportions).

Currently a manager at 5 YOE. Lots of experience in change management, tech implementations, stakeholder management, training/communication strategy, cross-functional work, & leading large teams to success.
Want to move to tech, but never changed jobs and don’t even know where to begin applying/ what roles I’m fit for.
Was anyone in a similar boat? Any advice appreciated!

I have a job offer I'm considering and everyone I've spoken to in interviews has been great. But the recruitment process itself was clunky, slow, and not applicant-friendly. Does that indicate my experience working there will be bad? Or is it more important to look at the actual content of the interviews, which was good? For context, the company is owned by an equity firm and it seems like some of the bureaucracy is coming from them.

My manager is a woman, and she is always commenting on how I look in front of everyone - and it just gets so weird.

Plus we Zoom with all other guys so it’s like UGH stop making it weird. And it’s never a straight forward compliment - it’ll be like “Hey arent you cold in that shirt?” *attention is automatically on my shirt”.CONT.
