I have an interview with large insurance company on one their strategy teams. Really interested in the role. I’m worried I don’t have an MBA and basically don’t have a shot. Any advice on how to prepare or prove myself for the role.

I have an MBA and I don't get strategy roles. It is more about your experience and how you present yourself. MBA means nothing these days, so I wouldn't sweat over it. Just do your best and prep for questions like "What exact strategies you came up with?" etc.

Anyone out there who left their previous job for a new one have any advice or life experience to share? I’ve been thinking about it for months but currently feel comfortable in my job/the products I work on. I’d say I have a great work/life balance but I do know that I could be making 20-30% more and have better benefits if I left. I also feel a bit stagnant in my job but the job security has kept me put. Would love to hear if leaving a comfortable job for more money is always worth it.

I'm almost done with my master's and right now we are discussing the knowledge gap that happens in 4th grade with our lower-class students.

Have you noticed this in your classes? I have but didn't realize why it was so hard to catch them up.

Is it crazy to switch a job while undergoing IVF?

I have an offer for way more money, manager title (which I want), much larger bonus & IVF benefit is better. However, I’m in the middle of stims and it is STRESSFUL. Part of me can’t imagine taking on a new role while I’m in the middle of this. But also feel like I can’t pass it up
