Hi All,
I joined Tech Mahindra for 5 days only and didn't find suitable timing for my project and emailed resignation mail to manager and HR. After that HR asked me to resign over portal but at the same time blocked my portal. After requesting many times they didn't unblock my portal and pretended like they want to unblock but there is some issue going on and marked my profile absconded. I have cleared fnf but they are not providing reliving letter but added pf amount also. What to do?

I’d rather quit than revise this agreement.

If it's a top MBA, could make a difference, but it's mostly not going to show in your salary as much as your knowledge base.
Stay on the client side and don’t say we didn’t warn you 😂
It could add to your resume in the grand scheme of things, esp if it connects with the rest of your law-related skills.
No impact on salary though

Will not affect your salary and certainly can’t hurt your hiring chances.

A3 - yes I got a year bump for my MBA.

I think a couple of firms may give you something similar to a clerkship bonus for an MBA, but probably not enough to cover the cost of the program. As someone who was really close to getting one, I'm ultimately glad I just started working sooner.
That said, overall I would say it's likelihood of bolstering your chances are pretty negligible, realistically, but certainly won't hurt. It may impress a couple of people, and may matter to some practice groups more than others, but overall it's more about fit, law school grades, and getting the clerkships at most big law firms. If tacking on the MBA gets you an extra bite at the apple for good clerkships, then maybe go for it.
I received a signing bonus for my MBA, and no other salary benefits. I also went to school for both that and the JD at the same time (which may matter to some firms).
If from a top B school it can be beneficial in hiring, but it’s not going to impact much

^ this usually only occurs if you’re going into a patent practice that directly ties to your PhD
