Help! I am studying for the gmat and I am finding that I have no motivation/patience for the verbal section. What are some strategies I can use to get through this portion and be an avid learner?

Think about how you won’t get into your dream school if you don’t ace the GMAT. That’ll motivate you.

Whoever said employers don’t care about grades and transcripts after your first job was a liar. Every lateral position that I’ve applied to as a 3rd year has requested transcripts. Why do we lie and tell grads that employers don’t check transcripts when they do. My coworker, a 5th yr, had to submit his transcripts also to lateral job. Side note - it speaks volume when multiple associates are trying to lateral at the same time

Hello fishes,
I have joined ZS 6 months back as a AC but still I am not able to settle in the role provided to me. I am not having a consulting background either. Imposter syndrome and feeling of uselessness is at the top. I tried sharing the same with my seniors but they said it will get better with time. How do I gather my courage and motivation to work? I feel too lonely and left out
