Can someone advise me whether I should prepare for it and think for a MBA?

Would suggest not to given the current economic situation. Folks are going unplaced and your profile can be a problem in getting short lists because of marks

Can at a later stage as well when the economic situation is good, would this profile won't make it to shortlist?

1 year MBAs are absolutely worthless unless it’s ISB. And remote MBAs are just namesake MBAs

That's so true, I am also planning for a ISB MBA, but not sure what is mentioned for the shortlist.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at my firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
