I am a working mom and am hell bent on pursuing my MBA. Any advices on the prep for GMAT? Or would GRE better suit my scenario than the GMAT? Appreciate your responses!

Thats awesome, best of luck! Are you aren’t too good at Math/Quant, Id stick with the GRE. You can try out courses like TTP for a 1 week free trial and get an understanding of the content.

That’s helpful, thank you!

Out of couriosity, why are you hell bent on pursuing an MBA?

Several reasons! Primarily It’s been a goal that for various reasons was postponed couple of times earlier. And considering my experience I am sure this will help me advance my career by leaps!

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM.

Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

Posted about this a while back but didn’t get a definitive response. I have a bunch of Manhattan prep GMAT books from the past few years that have little to no writing in them.

I live in downtown Manhattan near the stock exchange and hoping to give by the 24th. Thanks!

At what point does the value of a degree fall off? I'm in my early 30s, and have five years of experience, and work on a very theoretically interesting project.

Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
