I am self-funding most of my studies. What kind of scholarships, assistantships, or part-time opportunities are realistically available for someone like me, and how competitive are they?

Booth gives up to 40k for part time, and kellogg has an accelerated option if you have a business background. Up to 5 classes worth. (I used kellogg to get booth money.)

To be fair you are right technically, but 40k is the highest of all my friends and from what ive seen. Though I do believe some with public interest backgrounds may potentially get something different that helps with tuition. But not sure since I don't know anyone in the space.

Since I’m self-funding, I’d be asking very direct questions about scholarships and campus jobs too. I’d want honest info about which awards people with similar profiles actually got, not just the full list of “available” funding.

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in a good sales role at my current company but it’s my first solid AE role in the tech industry.

I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?

What software do you use? Currently using Float, so many options out there. Would love one where wed’d only have to pay for the RM team but not creative team as we mainly need it just or our team.

Cleared first round and my on-site is next week. It just came to my notice something about visa sponsorship in JD. It states “This role is not eligible for immigration sponsorship.” I have H1B but I would need H1b transfer and GC sponsorship. Can anyone help me out here.
