As a person in the ABA field, I have my RBT however I want to counsel hence, why I’m attending Liberty University to obtain my masters in clinical counseling and LPC. I want to get out of the ABA Field but don’t know where to start, any advice?

Did not expect to find a bunch of Clarence Thomases in this bowl this past weekend.

Remember your roots. You’re a minority, and are privileged to be in this field. You are not divine, or a genius, you got lucky. Civil rights giants paved the way for you to step foot in law school. Respect them by lifting your community, and improving our quality of life.

There is plenty of space for all of us, and we are stronger together. Have some empathy for your kin and leave your bigotry at the door.

Why is Stanford GSB so coveted compared to HBS/Wharton/MIT/Booth?

After 20+ years in the corporate world, I’ve decided to go back for my masters in order to become a Women’s studies professor. The problem is I can’t find a single program that is fully online and doesn’t require a GRE. If anyone can’t point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

What are the odds that I’ll be allowed to WFH after completing my FLDP (the undergraduate kind, not the MBA kind)? I know people always say you’re more valuable to the company after you finish these programs but do I have enough leverage to do this (and not get fired, haha)?

Thoughts on asking a client you've had a good relationship with to write a reco letter for your MBA application? Has anyone done this? Do I need to be discreet? Haven't told my boss...

Hello Fishes,
Just a little weird question, suggestions will be helpful.
My cousin wants to enter into the IT industry but his graduation is from non Tech (B.A). So I have suggested him to persue and MBA in IT or MCA may be from distance learning will also help.
Please give suggestions which will be the most feasible way to enter the IT industry, given that he is financially not much sound but he is very smart and hardworking.
Is it possible to join some startup which don't have degree barrier?

Will executive MBA from IIM will help me get promotion and good pay hike. Can someone share their experience if they were in same boat sometime in past.

Thank you!

Graduated undergrad in 2016, joined BCG last year as pre-MBA experienced hire. Long term goal is to exit to tech as a PM. Worth getting an MBA, or better to jump straight to tech?

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's ALM in Management. They both have the same requirements (generally speaking) including a capstone course that serves as a field immersion course with the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Took Executive assessment today and got a score of 161 (IR -12/ Verbal -11/ Quant -18). Is this good enough for Berkley Haas EMBA ?

Best MBA programs for Life Sciences in the long term?

Would be happy to connect with people who have passed or plan to take the Microsoft Azure Cloud certification, to share some tips :)

I've been an EA for about a decade - I've worked at Start Ups, Post-IPO companies, and Venture Capital Firms. If you are a rockstar EA and looking for a place where people are genuine and kind, I would urge you to apply at Snapchat.

Going to Snapchat was the best move I ever made. They REALLY prioritize their employees, and the benefits are absolutely incredible.

I hear a lot about toxic EA cultures at *certain* other companies and Snap just does not do that. (Be warned: it's a FAST pace.)

Hey all👋, I am seeking advice regarding mental health + work. I dissolved my first start-up in Dec, and just launched my new one in Feb - but I’m experiencing a little burn out while trying to juggle it with my 9-5 job. Has anyone ever experienced burn out right after launching something and needed to take a step back? If so how did you communicate that to the individuals who were working with you? And how did you accept that taking a step back was for the best?

Seniors and mid levels: on the M&A sell side, when you’re initially negotiating the definitive agreement and the data room is just being populated (nowhere near putting together schedules), what tasks do you usually assign to a junior to keep things moving (~year 1-3)? Thanks!

Thinking about making a complaint to the ADA. I told someone I report to directly about my dyslexia and adhd during our one on one touch base and literally no accommodation or solutions, just this person still pushing things to me that will take me longer because I’m fucking dyslexic and assigning a short timeline just to complain about the quality

I’m not motivated to work out at home (boring and not a variety of options) and don’t want to go to gym due to Covid. What should I do?

Hello Fishes! Happy weekend.
Anyone here willing to refer me for a role at Amazon/AWS? LMK! Will DM you to discuss further.

One of the days I feel glad to be not working in the economically more vibrant and basically a higher income country -USofA

Do firms like A&M HL kroll, have to deal with as much compliance bs as we do in public accounting firms? So many back end pains having to get the sow ready, legal help for certain cases, sending in conflict checks, and these god forsaken trainings.

How does M7 scholarship work? Do you just apply normally and they'll consider you for scholarships?

I've heard of people getting $$$ but it seems like there are only a few fellowships and merit-based scholarships listed on schools' websites

Waitlisted R2 @ Ross, others in same in boat past or present with tips?

CBS with no guarantee of $ or Johnson with $$$? Would appreciate if anyone has been in a similar situation

Interview invites on a rolling basis = we send out invites to who we like best first. Am I getting that right?

🐠 already at MBB — what is your motive going to bschool that isn’t PE/VC? Just curious. Thanks!

Did you guys get a recommendation from your current supervisor? What if this just isn’t possible or what if a previous supervisor could write a stronger recommendation?

If I wanted to begin the MBA prep/application process now, would I be looking at the fall 2022 admissions rounds? I assume I’ve missed the boat on the current year? Also has anyone done a gap year/volunteered after securing a slot in an MBA program? Thanks.

Where can you take free mba practice tests?

Any recs for insightful and well written books on entrepreneurship? Friend is trying to launch his own startup so I’m thinking of sending him a relevant book as part of a thank you gift

Chances at h/lbs/booth/Columbia? Indian- went to state school in ny 3.7gpa, masters in mis-gwu/Fordham/twin cities 3.7gpa, 3 years at big 4 strategy, 1 year in commercial banking and 1 at IB

I withdrew from a class, worth mentioning in optional? 3.9 GPA

Hey y’all, so I’m in a bit of a predicament: I just got admitted off the Kellogg waitlist but am enrolled at Columbia (both offering the same scholarship money). I’ve always loved the Kellogg culture / campus and felt that it would better prepare me for a career in tech product mgmt (limited prior exp). However, given that CBS orientation is a few weeks away, I’m a little uneasy about suddenly uprooting from NYC to Evanston. Am I really at that much of a disadvantage if I stick with Columbia?

Is it bad to talk about how you didn’t get a promotion in your essays? It was a genuine growing point for me and I took steps to get promoted a few months later, but didn’t know if getting passed up for a promotion is a bad sign for adcoms

Crap, didn't do better on GMAT, gotta put in Apps. :(

Kellogg, Booth, Sloan or Columbia for Tech Product Management?

On the applications themselves, when filling in work experiences, do you add college internships?
