I found my husband in mine 😍😍😍

(Literally we’re married now)

It is a very small scene, even at bigger business schools. Assume that 3% of the gender of your interest is LGBT and out. Even at a school with a class size of 400, that is only 12 people, and then you filter on gender and you are left with fewer.

Silver lining: go to an MBA program at a big university. You can then diversify and include LGBTs from other programs. This dramatically increases the number of options while decreasing the chance of everyone in your program hearing about your love life.

In my program most guys were unattractive and bitchy haha

Just assume everyone in your class will know your hookup history immediately. I got texted at by my classmate in a different country 5 minutes after I hooked up with someone

Small depending on the size of the school but you will make great friends. Be active in the lgbt club! That was one of the best experiences from my MBA

That’s one of the reasons I want to do MBA. To find my future husband. 😍

It's super small scene not with the drama it creates. Being high powered overachieving gays was drama enough

It’s a good opportunity but don’t go in expecting

Made great friends but as others have said, it's usually a smallish group so your options will be limited.

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

My manager asked my team to write an email of accomplishments this year for our mid year evaluations, and he said to do max 3-5 items, and I counted up 11 and can’t bring myself to choose only 3-5. This is the same manager who is severely underpaying me and said no chance of a raise after 1 year and so many accomplishments (1 yoe, mba, goes above and beyond, 72k). Should I stick to 3-5 or send him the list of 11? TIA
