Do people have a good sense of how their HBS interviews went? I interviewed the first week and think it went well but I’m reading accounts of others thinking they crushed their interviews just to get dinged

I was admitted in R1. I thought my interview was average. I didn’t totally bomb it but I didn’t think it was anything special.

Yup, think I felt similarly

Same I did my interview early Feb and have spent every single day after to think about HBS. I have asked for more work to make myself busy during the day but then I dream about HBS during night. For god’s sake this is going to last another month until the release day 😳

For sure Pal - knock on wood, tho knowing this is going to be one of the longest waits of our lives lol

I was also admitted in R1. Spent a long time stressing and thinking about the interview. I came out of it thinking I did really well, but than a few days later I thought I did badly- and kept switching back and forth lol.

I would say as long as you didn’t ‘fail’, you have a good shot (and it would more be dependent on your overall profile rather than interview performance). As a general tip I also wouldn’t think about it at all. Try to keep yourself busy, hang out with friends, the hard part is done

Hope to see you later this year! Keep us posted

Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.

I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to
Oracle as a Specialist Solutions Consultant.

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
