I want to move to a city with an actual Jewish community like NYC but having terrible time finding jobs. Anyone has any advice on what I can do to improve my chances? Looking in management consulting or data science/tech strategy space.

There are a lot of variables at play here — e.g., do you mean an orthodox community specifically?; does the community need to be urban (I’m originally from Baltimore which has a very strong Jewish community but it’s in the suburbs); how big of a city?; what kind of job you want/need?

If you’re looking to replicate NYC I’m not sure that exists anywhere else, but Boston is another large Northeast city with lots of jobs and a large jewish community…as do most large cities on the east coast

Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles all good options too

I've had three interviews so far: 1) with the recruiter, 2) with the hiring manager, 3) with the lead of an adjacent division. I was contacted by the hiring manager (just 5 days after interview 3) asking if I was still interested and if I'm available for another meeting. He mentioned it would only take 30 minutes. Any thoughts on what to expect?

Hello hive mind. I am currently interviewing with three agencies. Pretty far along with two of them. One of the positions is a Jr. copywriter position while the other two are just for a copywriter. How important would it be to not have the “Jr” before the title? Personally, I don’t care about the title, but wonder about future employer’s?

Rejected by HBS and GSB post interview... feeling pretty low. Was hoping I'd get one after interviewing. Not sure what I could have done differently. 750 GMAT, >3.8 GPA from top 10 UG, multiple promotions, strong recs, well-known employer. The process feels so random... I know there are so many qualified candidates and so few spots but I wish they had seen it in me.
