How long do you guys think the current job market will persist? I’m 2 YOE at a Big4 and want to leave to better paying opps. However, I’m debating between endlessly applying for jobs or studying for the gmat for 3 months and then resuming again. Thoughts?

Studying and networking for the next few months, then applying may be the most efficient use of your time. Lots of firms right now are taking applications but not hiring. But, it looks like things are ramping up and will likely continue to do so unless we get crushed by a massive second wave. I’d say study and see what happens with COVID over the next few months to assess the job market

Pretty confident a second massive wave is going to hit us.

Studying then applying imo. GMAT score good for 5yrs. So if you get that out of the way, you can spend the next couple of years on rest of your app.
