Do you think it matters less if I have a poorer undergrad “GPA” if it’s a STEM degree from Oxford, UK, where we don’t get marked on a 4.0 scale?
For reference I got a low 3’s average across my degree but (a) Oxford have a notoriously harsh bell curve in my subject - although Adcom’s may not know that I will certainly point it out (b) I ended up coming top half of my year in the final year - which is the year that matters in the UK system (c) I got 770 in the GMAT
Thanks!

😐💀 It really shouldn't matter but I was asked for my graduation year with 7 YOE.

What's a concise way to summarize this: didn't graduate the year I'm supposed to (2013), worked in between, went back to school and fnally finished bachelor's degree 6 years later (2019).

So is that still class of 2013 (prob not right)? Or class of 2019?

Can any MBB experienced hire confirm if GRE or SAT scores are required during the application process? Did you submit any test scores when applying? I’m looking at the BA role at McK, SA role at BCG and SAC role at Bain. I have a masters but my GMAT score is terrible so I am trying to decide if I should apply without the score or spend some time to write GRE before applying.
YOE: 2.5 years of industry experience with a masters.
Appreciate any advice. Thank you.

How did you decorate your personal space/private office/home office?

Does anyone send clients closing gifts? I typically represent sellers in M&A and have often wondered what other attorneys do for their clients.

It’s been one of those days. Crying nonstop and feeling just AWFUL. The thing is, can’t even pinpoint what is giving me so much agony. Probably the current state of the world and my life but that’s largely unchanged since a month or so ago. So why does a day like today happen out of nowhere? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you deal?

Does anyone know if we should expect delays in employment-based GCs due to the Afghanistan crisis (i.e., large number of GC applications for evacuees). By reading articles I got the feeling the government would make those cases top priority.

Anyone have experience with the Stuart and Lau carry briefcase? I like the look, but I'm unfamiliar with the brand. Link in first comment:

Any suggestions for apps/technology that are must-haves for a new, solo GC? I'm being tasked with spearheading a big M&A project (in addition to managing all other legal affairs) and will need all the help I can get to stay on track since I do not have an assistant. Any and all suggestions that relate to (calendar, planner/reminder, legal research, M&A, doc mgmt, apps, etc...) or anything else that might be considered a life-hack for a new GC are welcome! Thanks in advance!

Age old question for litigators who went in-house in a corporate (or product) role: how difficult was it to land a job? Trying to leave biglaw litigation as a 3rd year but don’t know whether this path is realistic. It seems that litigators will almost always have a disadvantage compared to people with a corporate background.

What’s a good answer to “why do you want to switch to an in-house role?” Currently working in data breach response, trying to switch to in-house privacy role.

This group really makes me appreciate my situation. I am fully remote at a remote first employer who does not care where where I work as long as it doesn't affect my residency and pay in the territory I was hired. (ie working in Costa Rica and Mexico 6 months but need to be back in Canada ever so often to maintain citizenship status)

I have an offer at faang (400k +rsu), also fully remote but this group really makes me feel it's a mistake to leave.

Any faangs fully remote up for a chat?

How much do the verbal/quant sub scores matter relative to the overall score?

LBS is out

Wharton with ~$110k or GSB? Goal is to break into VC/PE, location-agnostic

Is anyone else applying while in school for something else? Do you also feel pressured to be "perfect" since we need to attach transcripts to our application, where quantitative declines in performance are clearly visible?

My grades are not going to be pretty this term... Ngl it's a bit hard to not be bitter knowing that I can't disguise the clear quantitative tank in my performance while I could disguise it if I were working instead.
