I was placed in Further Consideration for HBS (pushed from Round 1 to Round 2). My partner was admitted in Round 1, which I mentioned in my 400-word update. Any guesses around my odds for an interview? 750 GMAT & 3.9 GPA from state school. I’m not sure how much they’ll weigh the fact that my partner got in.

Hi Fishes

I have 11 years of experience in PeopleSoft finance and I am looking for a switch in workday finance. May I kindly ask what learnings are must to get the workday interviews cleared?
Also Please let me know in case if there is any opening for workday where they are looking for any candidate from other ERP experience and ready to cross train on workday.

Next week I have two skill interviews w/ Accenture & Bioventus (both Workday positions) . Any advice / recommendations on preparation for the questions (and answers) they may ask?

How long is it taking to hear back from companies (Accenture, Deloitte etc.) after applying with referral? Is it quicker because of great resignation or still the same amount of waiting time?

How many pages is your resume/CV?

Is building a personal website using Wordpress a good way to stand out as a PM candidate (junior) or is it better to code it from scratch? - I have some coding knowledge but mostly concerned if hiring managers would care.

A quick check. How many of you got the project after joining in coforge? If you got the project is it same client which was promised while interview process? Please respond.

Hi everyone. I'm pretty early in my career (just over 1 YOE) & not really enjoying my current role as a Consultant/Developer because of the type of projects I get combined with some mobility issues. However, I'm really interested in technical program management or project management and I'm looking for any advice on how to get there bc I've been applying, but can't even seem to get a call back.

(Also would really appreciate some likes on this post to get my 11 likes out of the way 😀)

Hi im looking for referrals in Deloitte Canada. Can any one help, would be happy to arrange a coffee chat to walk you through my experience and resume

What is 2nd round for In an Interview ? What do they ask ?

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Hi all.

I'm having more than 12 yrs of experience and current ctc is 11.20 excluding night shift and variables. I've given interview in bny got shortlisted and submitted the documents. Initially interview was for I grade in fund accounting. After documentation hr said they r hiring me for h grade I get ready for that too with offer of 12 lakh. But all of sudden hr is saying she is not confirm whether I'll get offer or not. They are bluffing all around to giving my offer. What should I do now

Looking to break into industry from federal consulting. Recently earned my MBA with a focus on data analytics and MS in Cybersecurity. Any guidance?

Can’t wait to move to Dallas area. Flower Mound is likely our first choice. Getting out of Chicago for better schools without dominant unions, low taxes, and better public safety

currently debating if i should work on the hill or accept an IB role. i feel like working on the hill is invaluable experience that could get me into IB but maybe i’m wrong? Which opportunity gives me best resume experience?

Anyone from Google willing to refer? Or perhaps have any tips on the application process and interviews?

Hi Fishes,

I have worked as a contingent employee in JPMC in one of their project.
After how many days can I apply for a permanent role with them ?JPMorgan Chase

Hey Fishes! Does MBA give an upper edge (or is essential) in terms of better job opportunities and salary if one wants to create a career in B2B Marketing? Given already I am working in that domain without an MBA. Do hiring companies weigh on the MBA degree?

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice

What do you like about working in tech ?

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

Which city is the best to live in for a couple in their mid twenties?

1. Hamburg
2. Munich

Thanks in advance!

Essence NY anyone?

Any ideas for a gym bag that can also be used for laptop? Don’t want to carry two bags but also want something that looks professional

I’ve been hooking up with a guy off and on for a little over 4 years (met right after a break up) and early on set the boundary that it’s just sex. Recently told a friend abt him (we were out she wanted to know who I was texting/who was picking me up) & now she’s trying to convince me that I’m just in denial (and so is he) of having feelings for each other. He’s a good guy, has his life together, and we have fun, but I don’t get why the arrangement we have is a problem/needs to be changed??

Interviewing at McKinsey and wanted to understand the reality of the travel expectations of a solution leader at the manager level. Thanks!

Are there any good churches in Silicon Valley? Thank you

Hi Friends, can anyone confirm on the appraisal cycle for this FY 2021-22 in EY?July or October?

Hi everyone!

Wanted to know if Amex uses a lot of proprietary softwares/ processes which have no value outside of Amex?

What all we get along with laptop for new joiners from citiustech?

Stupid question but getting a divorce now and having a hard time figuring out what to do with sentimental things such as wedding pictures, travel pics, ornaments we bought together, etc. What did you do? Relationship was over 12 years and don’t know what to do. Should I jus pretend that those 12 years never happened or she was not there?

Divorce is amicable and based on growing apart rather than bc of cheating or fighting or anything else..

What do people mean when they say average recs vs good recs? I'm not sure I fully understand what would differentiate an average vs good vs great recommendation and would appreciate some thoughts

Wharton calls started for Asia! This has been a really useful and supportive group through the process. Good luck and thanks all!

Salary expectation for pre-MBA internships?

How to go about deferring an acceptance?

Help me settle a debate. Which has a lower acceptance rate, McKinseyites applying to HBS or HBSers applying to McKinsey?

When do GSB calls usually come?

Worth applying for a gmat waiver versus submitting a sub-700 score or just not apply round 1 in hope score goes up?

Gmat: 690
GPA: 3.34
CPA FDD Manager effective 10/1
Post mba goal: IB

Also looking into Executive Assessment before round 1. Any advice appreciated.

Has anyone recently signed up to take the gmat online prior to may 20? I’m trying to sign up for a slot in the next week or so, but I keep getting redirected to an error page. Not sure if this means slots arent available anymore

Best/most interesting questions to ask admissions reps or current students?

I didn’t get into any schools this past application cycle but got into H/S. I feel like I’m going to be incredibly insecure meeting my classmates this fall who probably got into every school with crazy scholarships too. Do people typically share where else they got in, GMAT, etc. when you go to school?

Are there any pros/cons to taking the GMAT virtually vs. in person? Does anyone have tips for taking it virtually?

Automatic ding if you uploaded the wrong docs to the wrong sections (essay to resume or vise versa)?

How does updating your application work? If I submit apps to schools in R1, and then get promoted in the early fall, is it possible to amend the application to reflect that?

Is it ok to take a gap year premba? How would that appear to future employers?

For those taking gmat more than 1 time, did your scores improve in the second time? Got a 690 my first one a month ago and retaking this week but I find myself freaking out. My practice test has been 720-730, though the one this weekend dropped to 700 because i was freaking out with verbal. Any encouragement is strongly appreciated 😔😥

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Any recs for insightful and well written books on entrepreneurship? Friend is trying to launch his own startup so I’m thinking of sending him a relevant book as part of a thank you gift

Is 47 considered a low quant score for top 15 business schools?

Submitted cbs with ea score. Jheez. Yet to take the gmat for the other schools 😭

I work in deals and am frankly frustrated that those with 9-5s can get better GMAT scores with their schedules while I have to work around an unpredictable schedule at 80 hrs/week.
