How will athletics impact my MBA? I still have eligibility from undergrad. I want to make sure I get the most from the program but after talking to some coaches they have interest in me. Plus I really enjoyed football in undergrad. I’d most likely just play home games due to conflicts with recruitment/classes.

I have a 700 GMAT score, is Wharton out of reach with this score? Should I retake it?

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.

Georgia Tech Cybersecurity masters or the analytics masters? Currently in a cyber role at Deloitte. I was thinking it might be better to do the analytics master and get a CISSP. I feel like there is more value in the cissp than a MS cybersecurity

If I’m looking to specialize in data analytics work, would it be more beneficial to get a MS degree vs. data analytics bootcamp?

What's the designation & ctc budget of paytm for lateral hiring for 8.2 years experience (java skillset)?

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
