I’d have to guess it depends entirely on your profile. Not sure if anyone can give insightful advice about R3 or Darden that isn’t applicable to any other school.

Sorry to hear about your ding(s), and I can’t provide any R3 insights, but know it’s been an absolutely brutal year for competition.

Thanks and apologies Director 1.... it's just a sad combination of rejection and low self-esteem at the moment (haven't told my recommendors about the update) which isn't allowing me to paint a rosy picture of myself 😅
But that's some great advice - Higher GMAT and professional help to review essays will definitely increase chances for any good program.
This might sound weird but if time permits, can I forward you the app for review. Can't turn the clock back to correct mistakes but will definitely help plug the shortcomings in profile for next year.

Does it look bad in my resume to resign after less than a year at a job? writing here the time I’ve spent at each company since graduating college:
- 2 years at company 1 (resigned to move back to home country)
- 2 years at company 2 (resigned and moved back to the US)
- went back to company 1 (it had grown exponentially after 2 years so came back at higher position) (resigned after 1 year to join a startup at director level)
- 6 months at startup and I want to quit with nothing lined up

My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k

I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

Is the opportunity with BCG really so far beyond what I have already with S&? Is dropping a better look than interviewing and doing terribly?

Hello Guys,

I have accepted EY IN Offer.
Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.

My partner and I are not connecting at all. It’s honestly so hard.

There may come the point where constant meetings, being around the same people, or the same environment will cloud your creativity. When this happens, you may need time to yourself in a different environment to think clearly without any disturbance. 

Great ideas can wake you up in the middle of the night, during a shower, while walking in the park, or any other setting outside of a meeting.
