Happy to help / answer any questions as I was just in your shoes last year!

GRE 166 quant / 158 verbal, so I had to explain in optional essay my low verbal score. Id say the part of application I struggled the most with was GMAT/GRE. GPA 3.6 from a top 20 university. Consulting for 4yrs and now at a startup that just got acquired in a growth role. On the side I help with a fashion focused non profit. Post MBA want to get into fashion/retail space and eventually entrepreneurship.

Accepted to HBS, Wharton with $$, Columbia, Booth, NYU Stern. Waitlisted at kellogg

uplifting

Thank you!!! this is super helpful

also, it would be nice if you were willing to maybe answer individual questions about your background and experience. If you are willing to do that, just mention it on your post!

Hi, we're searching for a job in HR for my wife. She's an MBA from India and has 10 years of work experiences across various HR roles in FMCG and Tech. Her last role was a HR BP and India site lead for a US based semiconductor major.
Is CIPD necessary to get a comparable role in the UK? While we undersrand it's a new market, would she necessarily need to start from a basic role again? It's difficult to balance studies, work and manage a 2 y.o. Any pointers or job openings would be appreciated.

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.
