Do people 4-5 years out of b-school still put GMAT scores on resume? I have other markers of academic qualifications (schools, GPAs) on there, but wondering if should add standardized test score.

I have never had my test scores on my resume. I stopped having my GPA, besides my submissions for grad school, on my resume after year 2.

God no. Never. Ever. The only score that matters is 800. Even if you got 780 it matters nothing.

A1 - your right. Forgive my bubble world life. That said. If i want the smartest, why would I’ve interested in 580. Remembering that gmat is just a basic aptitude test.

No. Honestly those that do make me pause to think if they are trying to prove something / make up for something.

Yeah I don’t even know what a good gmat score is, I just assume whoever I’m interviewing is a gunner if they put it up there p

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?
