$$$ and opportunity

The woman I followed from Washington DC, to Florida, to Massachusetts, returned home in Toronto. So naturally, I immigrated 😍
Now married with 1.5 yr old son and planning 2nd. We’re 14 years in.

I did a bit of that early on to get extra info on where I stood with other potential dates but felt comfortable with my competition and ultimately got them cut

I have always seen myself living in an idyllic neighborhood. When I had an opportunity to work in Toronto, I grabbed the chance. I'm living my dream now. I just love the perfect blend of business, culture and entertainment.

A job! My sister had been living here for five years. She convinced me to come here and find a job. So far, I am loving it here.

Hi folks, my base location as per EY GDS offer letter is Noida but I want it to be Gurgaon as my hometown is in Jaipur and Gurgaon is more convenient for me.. I sent email to my senior manager and got response that you can use flexibility and work in any Gds office in India. However, I feel that in case my base location is not being changed, I should shift to Noida rather than Gurgaon as there might be any formalities or facilities which we need to avail in our base location only.. Any thoughts?

Has anyone done this right out of law school? Any advice?

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
