I saw a job posting for Oliver wyman and it explicitly said you needed your gpa. I’m a 3.5 I generally don’t include it but I have 4 years of experience. Is it worth applying?

Straight out of undergrad you’d probably have issues with a 3.5 GPA but with 4 years experience (assuming it’s good experience) it shouldn’t matter all that much

GPA is used in undergrad screening but I doubt it would disqualify if you have much relevant experience

Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.

Offer from AMZN @ 160 TC, just got promo @ D to M, comp statements don't come out until first week in June. Would probably stay if comp came in equal or slightly above. What are the chances?

Was hoping AMZN would be higher but they pegged the role a lvl lower than originally discussed during the process...so here we are.

Not sure if I should play my hand and push for more to stay or if they will just say "wait 5 weeks or here is the door"
