Hi there, I'm an engineer (ME+EE) with a BS/MS with experience in engineering, Program management and tech sales. I've been applying to Google and a few other FAANG companies for PM roles but without any luck so far. I'm prepared to got to BSchool (already have my GMAT done) to make it happen but want to know if there may be a more expedient way.
Any advice?

My firm flaunts about being involved in the community and giving back. Offices across the country do a day of service where attys and staff do community service. There is a fee/cost for the volunteer activities and the attys are responsible for paying for it.

As realtors, our worst and best friend are the contractors, being friends with the contractor that remodelled a home you are going to sell is a plus because you can know for sure what kind of improvements were made to the house and why; and what kind of things are pending to be improved, that way you can provide real information to the client. You know what they say: a happy client always comes back to you.

My recruiter mentioned last week that I'm going to HC, then called me this week to say that I skipped HC as I did well so "we're moving to next steps".

So...did I get an offer or not?! 😅
