For those who have taken the GMAT, how difficult was it? Do you need to be an exceptional student, or is it fairly straightforward to score well (650+) with a few practice exams?

Do anybody know about iim kozhikode advance mgt programme foe IT professional, is it of any help.

💥My FAANG PMs: Admitted to M7 (Booth, Columbia, Kellogg) but no scholarship money. End goal is PM at FAANG. Peers tell me to do a MS in Software Engineering or Data Science at an Ivy instead, claiming that route is cheaper & employs more into tech. Is a MBA truly not technical enough for majority of blue chip PM roles?

I am in the process of finishing up my MBA but considering also getting my SPHR or PHR cert. Is it even worth it or a waste of time and money?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

hi all! using a moniker for privacy reasons - i’m a graduate consultant at a boutique shop in Sydney ~3 months of experience after a bachelors in business from UTS (graduated earlier this year). my 485 expires in Oct 2024, and i’m keen to stay back after that - can anyone who’s been there done that share some things that i can start doing to help my chances of being sponsored? this might include things i can do on the job as well as other options like networking.. thanks!

Have any of you pursued a graduate certificate in cyber security? If so, did you find any value in it? I currently have Bachelors and Sec+. I’m looking to obtain my AWS CCP in the few coming weeks and was looking for what to get next. I entertain the idea of continuing to pursue my education but I don’t want to incur too much debt with a masters.

Is there a "too old" stage to pursue a master's? Currently 25, 3 YOE

How big of difference is it ending up with a Yale MBA instead of HBS? Will it slim my chances for top funds if I want to go into PE or VC, I know that MBB doesn’t really mind which MBA program you attend nowadays

Salary update for FT MBA recruiting?

MBA intern here. Has anyone heard what the FT offers are going to be this year? Target school, legacy S&O alignment. My understanding is that the GSAPers...

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?

Hi fishes,
I am currently working as a Data Science Analyst in Amex and would like to make a switch to Fraud detection/Credit risk modelling in future.(not in a hurry but would like to start preparing for the same)
How should I go about preparing for it? Is MBA the only course?
My current tech stack is Python, Pyspark, Hive, SQL, ML, DL(specifically NLP based). I have already done MS in CS from IIT Kgp.
I am confused mainly cause the tech stack requirement is similar to my role in the company.

What schools should I be aiming for? 700 GMAT, Deloitte S&O, 3.8 GPA at no name, white/male

It's been a challenging year for me, including a rejection from GSAP. This week, I got into my top choice MBA program - and an M7 to boot! Just goes to show that sometimes Deloitte's decisions can be misaligned to the greater world.
I hope that Deloitte gives me the chance to be a good brand ambassador - but at the point, it's up to the firm if I even consider coming back :)

Working as an analyst in Energy Practice assisting case teams with renewables, utilities, O&G, digital strategy. Net experience 2 years! Want to go for higher studies.

Should I
1. Go for technical masters? (if yes, do recommended some good courses)
2. Wait to gain enough experience for a MBA in US/EU

Thanks!

I went to one of the best film schools in the country and have worked my way up from the production world to CDing at a major agency...yet I feel super insecure that I didn’t go to ad school (hell, I hadn’t even heard about ad school until I was already well into my career). I feel like I’m missing some key piece of information that everyone else has...am I crazy? Or is everyone just bullshitting and learning on the job just like me? Planned on going into film/tv and kind of just fell into this

Accenture folks, seeing lots of news about layoffs at other firms here. Are we in the same situation?

Can partners comment whether Pwc is having another round of layoffs. This is so scary! Shouldn't they rid of partners who can't sell first?! Or pause hiring? Opp. cost to find and train talent again?
