HI Fishes,
So I have just joined an MNC as a .Net+ AngularJS developer with 6YOE few weeks back and it seems they are putting me in a support role and the stack is based on VB whereas I come from C# background and also the frontend too is probably just old .net web forms.

It seems like I have been manipulated which isn't really unexpected but I am specifically worried about my future and growth prospects and how it will affect my profile due to the VB thing.

Really poor test taker. Struggled to crack a 660 summer between school and work with no other commitments. Can't pass while working - considering quitting to study full time. Bad idea?

Has anyone gone back to school for their MBA? Did help further your career?

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
