I sometimes struggle with staying on top of emails - the amount of emails I get is very high and I can let one or two slip by I responded to. How do you manage your inbox? Is this problem normal?

Normal. Ignore almost all email and encourage people to call you instead. No one will bother calling you unless they actually have something important to say

Filter and sort. Inbox 0 is possible.
1. All emails from customer accounts, document processors, etc go to separate folders. All news updates go to another, emails from fine companies, research reports etc.
2. Sorting your inbox by from instead of the default date can help to start this. In Outlook you can right click to create a sorting rule.
3. Also if you are consistently deleting emails from a certain source without reading them unsubscribe.
4. Outlook lets you right click and set a follow-up date which will add the email to your task list to respond to.

I don’t know how many people are in the European market who can help me but here we go. As someone who recently finished an internship at a Big 4 company in Germany, I realized that every strat role requires or strongly recommends a masters degree (as I have a cs undergrad). So here’s my situation: would it be better to do a masters in management at a top school in Europe, or accept an offer from EYP for a full time role. I don’t want my lack of masters degree to come up negatively in the future
