How is IE business school? Top business school in Spain from what I hear. Anyone know much about it? Would it help getting an MBA from here for a role in VC/PE? Only reason I am considering it, because they are waiving the GMAT.

As far as I know (based in Spain) one of the top business schools, bit behind IESE and somewhat on par with ESADE (both in Barcelona). They had a hit in the rankings few years back because of some “manipulated” employability reports, from what I was told. Has a very good reputation within Spain but not sure internationally, and not sure about the roles!

Do you have experience in VC/PE, or at the very least founding a startup and having a significant part in the funding process (for VC)?

If not, then not even Stanford/Harvard/Wharton can get you there. I suggest doing more research.

Good to know! Thank you.

I’m in a rather peculiar situation.

I am ready for a more challenging role. However, there doesn’t seem to be much available at my current company. However, I am going on 5 months pregnant with the expectation of being out in October. I feel like once I mentioned my pregnancy I was in a holding pattern.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Python - assistant manager opening in kgs(big4)
If referral needed - pls DM.

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze. Does this mean layoffs are coming up? What about the candidates (like myself) who cleared HC and was in negotiating process?
