For those of you who started a new job at a mid-senior level, how long did it take for you to get up to speed with the new team/account and be able to start actively contributing? Just finished my first week and still gathering my bearings but it seems I joined at a pretty chaotic time and I feel bad for not being able to help the more junior members who have been working crazy hard.

It took me 3 weeks of full onboarding to jump into my account and start to contribute actively. Listen and learn first how to make the most of your time. Schedule 1:1 across teams as much you can.

I know that people say it’s all about story, but with a certain gpa/gmat score is there a “floor” that you’re safe on? For example would someone with 4.0/780 (not me) be pretty much assured at least 1 M7? Or is there a reasonable chance that all M7s will reject them? Or is their floor just lower (T15 for example)?
