I don’t understand why people act like it’s strange to research a company before applying. If I’m giving my time and skills to a job, I’m absolutely checking TikTok, Reddit, Glassdoor—whatever it takes. Why would you sign a contract without knowing what you’re walking into?
It’s not about being “trendy.” It’s just about being smart. Doing your homework isn’t new, research is not bad.

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years? I will make a little money interning in the summer, so that would be a safety valve if I blow through the 20k.

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.

Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
