Hi all! I’ve been working in the mortgage industry for the past 5 years and am now looking to get into sales. I am looking to be a mortgage loan officer and I have obtained my license to do so. My main issue right now is that I don’t have any sales experience currently. Any recs for entry level sales positions relating to mortgage/real estate?

Thanks in advance!!

I work in hospitality right now as a young person without a degree. Are there good opportunities for a career if I move up? Or should I go for a degree and switch to something else?

Was whitelisted by HKS last year (wanted to pursue an MPP in combination with Wharton MBA I was accepted to earlier). Plan to reapply this year as I deferred Wharton anyway. Any tips from replicants? I mean, if I was whitelisted - to what degree should I change my essays and strategy now? 👀

Anyone who laterally transitioned from T2 strategy to MBB, are you glad that you transitioned or regret it? Why?

Any recommended study material for CIPP and/or CIPM (still debating the two)?

Do you all see a compelling future in your tax career? I’ll go first, I don’t see a compelling future working for a large PA firm in the long run because you have to work more as you move up. However, I do see a compelling future by using my knowledge and skills to open my own firm/business and work less hours as long as I make enough money which is $75k, or if I do work long hours, it’s because I want to.

Planning to take the CIPP and CIPM. Will be doing self-study. What is the “book” everyone refers to for studying? Is it just the “study guide” the IAPP sells? Does anyone know if the study guides and sample questions you can buy on amazon are sufficient to use for passing? Appreciate any and all advice.

Anyone know of a good career coach I could reach out to? Thanks in advance! 🙏
