How would a masters degree in CS or Stats abroad from a university like TUDelft or TU Munich be perceived in the states? I’m American but interested in doing that mostly due to the reduced cost

They’re both phenomenal universities for STEM programs BUT it would fall on you to sell that during interviews. I did my masters program abroad in Europe as well and have had no one question the academic rigor of the program I was in. In fact, it’s been a conversation starter for most people and they want to know how my experience was.

I went to Imperial College London, and it was absolutely amazing (I have British citizenship through my parents). I was able to pay for my program with the money I had saved beforehand and still be able to travel over holiday weekends.

I dont think school matters yet for consulting. If you pass the coding test, you good.

Question for the Biglaw Bowl: How common is it to take a pay cut when being promoted from associate to income partner? I had heard about this happening at some lower ranked V100 firms. But now that I’m more senior and my friends are making partner, it sounds like it’s a lot more common than I thought and happens at firms where I wouldn’t expect it. Does anyone here have any insight into this? How common is it, how much of a pay cut, and how long until your pay catches up to associate pay?

Are these 2 totally separate principles or why would that concept not come into play? Or is needing consent from the dead not a federal thing

1. I’m a pandemic hire at this new agency and I like it enough, but I feel SO detached from all these humans I’ve never interacted with IRL… like, I just don’t give a flying fuck about these team-building zoom calls. :(

2. My boyfriend and I often just go off cam / mute during the more useless meetings and have sex instead. I secretly hope everyone who is muted/cam off in meetings is getting some action.
