How specific to the prompt do our recommenders have to be? One prompt is “Please describe the most important piece of constructive feedback you have given the applicant. Please detail the circumstances and the applicant's response.” To be honest, I’ve not received specific constructive criticism like this in my current job (not at strategy& anymore). Mostly I’m told to just keep doing what I am doing. My team is small and regular performance reviews like in consulting isn’t common

What’s everyone doing in this heat??

After 3 years of freelancing, I just landed my first in-house journalist job!! I’m so happy!

Received an offer for a Product Manager role from a midsized financial services company for $120k base + 15% bonus. Currently making $130k + 15% bonus in consulting with 4 yoe. Is this a good offer? Should I ask for more base or signing bonus? Or is this pretty fair? Very inexperienced in salary negotiations.

Fully employed Art Director (agency) looking to pick up some freelance contracts on the side. Can this be done?

I want to attend grad school (public policy) starting Aug 2020. When would be the best time to tell my team? Once I’m accepted? Don’t want to give my 2 weeks to say I’ve known for 5 months

Hi fishes,

Hi Guys,

I currently have two offers in hand with similar package.

One is from FIS Global for position of Business Systems Analyst and other is from PayPal for Underwriting Analyst.

Really confused between the two.

As a Creative, do you prefer voice or video for initial project discussions with vendors? How do you feel about follow-up video conferences to go through vendor treatments?

Any companies still hiring MBA interns this summer? My friend at Booth had a summer consulting internship that just got cancelled and is looking for other places to apply ASAP.

Does anyone else feel like you're in the generation that's stuck between the "good ol'days" of the 80s-90s and the future (aka holograph and the metaverse)? It's such a weird place to be. I appreciate the tech but I miss the simpler times of listening to walkmans and playing solitaire on my PC. Am I resisting change?

Got an email for CTC restructuring. updated letter is not shared yet, any idea what changes have been made to variable component?

How much time does Naviga global take to send offer letter. My HR round was done on 3rd of September.

Anyone else using their layoff as an excuse to finally pursue a new career?

Anyone here from FFO Consulting ?
Please DM.

Got into HBS and Booth!

Went to a severe non-target for undergrad. Most of my colleagues have 3 degrees from elite institutions. Is it worth it to get an MBA from H/S/W for some added credibility? McK will likely pay but $350K in forgone salary seems enormous. 740 GMAT

In need of advice: I am starting a full time role (Senior Consultant) in an industry that is my post-MBA goal. I want to start MBA Fall 2022. Does it look bad to AdCom if I apply R1 having been in my job for 1 month? (Will have 1 year when I attend). Thanks!

Thought on wearing nice (like branded) jewelry during interviews? Don’t want to come off as like rich but want to be polished

Tips on taking the GRE?

Any recs for insightful and well written books on entrepreneurship? Friend is trying to launch his own startup so I’m thinking of sending him a relevant book as part of a thank you gift

What are my chances at M7?

White male, 3.6 GPA at top public school (like UVA), 700 GMAT, 3.5 years work experience (2y in big 4 MC, 1.5y in corp dev), letter of rec from HBS grad CFO of my company.

Heading to an M7 soon from a tech company where I work in a product-adjacent position. I didn’t need this degree to “break into” product management (former company would have let me transition), but I still figured it could be good for the long run.
Now when thinking about 100K in loans, I feel anxious about not getting a PM role after. Was this the right move?

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?

How long did it take to hear back for CBS early decision applicants?

Going to Wharton in the fall. Is it worth going MBB over returning to big 4 (sponsored)? Is this a common path?

Received AD from NYU Stern Tech MBA. The deposit is due in 2 weeks. Interviewed with Kellogg 1Y as well and waiting for decision. Definitely prefer Kellogg. Should I contact K for their decision?

Do business schools provide access to online publications such as Bloomberg business week, NYT, fortune etc.?

Anyone's GSB Portal who doesn't have the Waitlist Tab now? Maybe a botched update? Hearing people in a few different stages of their application with the tab? It has a View Decision button, which just says no decision when picked. If everyone has it, probably a botched update!

Anyone know if Fuqua starts phone calls a day earlier like most other schools or do they wait until the release date (this Friday)?

Rejected from HBS 😢😔
