Sure, it simply depends how long you have. Also depends how taxing your engagements are.

I started gregmat on dec 14, took 3 weeks off but had to work 50% of the time. GRE was on Jan 5, right on deadline day, scored 165Q 163V. To give you context I appeared without prep on Dec 10 and scored 157Q 154V.

I only used gregmat prepswift while working last year and did well. Felt it was the perfect course with great explanations

last question if you don’t mind, did any of you find “quant mountain” to be worth the time vs. doing more practice problems / re-reviewing prepswift videos?

I did the quant mountain consistently for my first attempt and got a 166Q, second time around I sorta deprioritized it and only got a 160Q. Not saying that difference was caused by a lack of focus, but some maintenance helps. Also, if you have time, I'd recommend watching some of the 1-month plan toolkit videos as those are bit more in depth once you have all the prep swift concepts down

I read that the best approach to use gregmat while working full time is to do the 1-month plan spread across 2 months

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
