Hi Folks,

Happy Monday 🙂,
Can anyone tell, how many days pwc take to release offer letter post hr discussion and document submission?

Totally new to this subject, so please pardon any ignorance. How do you recommend best making use of my savings? In my first job out of college, no debt, have about 25k saved between a standard savings account and a brokerage account. I’m able to save about 1-1.5k of my salary monthly. What’s the best way to divide my savings? Should I max out my Roth while I’m in a lower tax bracket and then prioritize 401k? What are my options, and what resources are out there for guidance and info? Thank you!

Als Partner einer mittelständischen IT Beratung interessiert mich, welche Employee Benefits für Consultants attraktiv sind. Bislang war unser Ansatz die Mitarbeiter einfach überdurchschnittlich zu entlohnen, aber gefühlt werden Perks wie Fitnessmitgliedschaften und co. angefordert und besser bewertet.

Scared to start my new job in this remote environment. Anyone have any tips or advice?

I've realized that one of my major stressors is financial. While I am making more than some of my peers, I know that by comparison with colleagues I am making less. I know it's not the best to worry about this, but it does affect me. At the same time, I am not sure how to deal with it. Any advice?

Do you wait to be asked the $$ question or do you bring it up in an interview?

Hardest case interview you've been through and why?

My manager a top consulting firm just said to me: If I sleep too much (meaning over 4h per night) I get a headache so better to not sleep too much

Watching his 3rd Redbull, second Coca Cola and ATLEAST sixth cup of coffee today being devoured simultaneously, I'm 100% certain that the reason he's getting headaches is not getting caffeine for 4h - not the "too much sleep" XD

Looking for new bed sheets. Want to stick to around $100. Any recs?

Any advice for the first day/week at a new job? This is my first time lateraling and I’m insanely nervous! It seems like a wonderful fit for me so I do not want to mess it up by being too eager (or over correcting and not being eager enough!)

Hi Fishes, Got an offer with 18lpa all fixed from a Product based company. 4+ yoe and Skillset is DevOps. No final negotiations available. Can I take it or wait for another offer? Cctc(11lpa)+2.31lpa as VP.

Dear fellow fishes,
I am looking for opportunities in the USA for the roles of product owner/ Product manager. I possess 14 years of professional experience with 10 years of relevant experience.

Any leads for referrals with visa sponsorship would be highly appreciated.

Fyi - I currently have a h1b visa, expired, and can be renewed out of cap.

Regards

Repost from diff bowl - I really want to shift from agency side to brand growth or product analytics. Any tips/advice/referrals?

I’m particularly interested in tech-based products like @Headspace or @Bumble - brands I admire. Cover letters are ready to go, would love help in getting them in the right hands!

Senior in PA and considering transitioning into industry as I want to gain more provision exposure. Would it be possible to go in as a Senior, or would I have to step down to a staff level as I do not have much provision experience?

Can I apply for more money while in school? Realizing I didn’t take out enough to last the year…

Anyone else here financing your MBA fully with loans? I'm looking at a 200k loan for Wharton + opportunity costs (getting 180k now). I'm pivoting and need an MBA. I've always known this is how much it would cost but man it's alot.

If you don’t care about typical recruiting pipelines (consulting, banking, tech, etc) and want to stay in the same field, is there any real justification for taking no-aid at an M7 vs a full ride at a top 15-20 school?

Should I just directly Slack someone in Sloan adcomms asking them whether they’ll send admitted and/or enrolled student a gift? I was really looking forward to that book man.

MBA Student Loan. Please suggest the best!
Federal Credit Union vs Discover vs So-Fi

In R1, has reporting the Online vs in person GMAT impacted interviews and acceptances granted? Applying for R2 and my highest score was from the Online Gmat

Just did an unofficial tour of Ann Arbor and Umich. Couldn’t go in anywhere but seeing the town and buildings was still a good experience. Planning to put down my deposit! Go blue!

Those who received INSEAD interviews, how long did it take to receive email with names of interviewers after the email telling you that you had been selected for an interview?

What are some examples of good stories you all have used or have seen people use?

Anyone here scored slightly lower (10pts) on your GMAT retake? My mock scores are in the 740-760 range but my real exams have been around 700-710. I completely freeze up on the actual thing, forget how to do problems, waste severa minutes scrambling and then guess and move on - any advice? Don’t know how to replicate that exam feeling for practice

Tuck or Columbia, all else equal? Looking to get into finance

My UG university had two GPAs, one for courses taken on campus only, the second including courses taken off campus that counted as part of the graduation requirements (ae. GEs online). My former is around 2.8, the latter around 3.1. Which GPA is applicable?
Also, I’m a URM, Econ degree fwiw.

With a 316 GRE, firm sponsorship and a 3.5 GPA which schools do you think I can target? Im currently shootin for J-term and Kellogg 1yr. Are these a stretch?

What are your post MBA goals?

Is anyone going to b-school in the hopes of getting into product/product marketing? Situated in NY so likely going to apply here but too scared of moving out of the state if there are a better school out there... also being pretty insecure since I have a 3.0 gpa and 5 YOE at a non-product field (not taking gmat until later this year..)

How are people preparing for/spending their time leading up to bschool? Feel like the next 2 years will basically be the peak of my life socially, educationally, and physically, so really want to make sure I take advantage of it 😂

What do you think my chances are of Wharton HCM program 3.4 GPA Non-HSP Ivy, 730 GMAT, 2.5 years boutique life science consulting, pro-Bono consulting and firm UG recruitment ECs, white female, also looking at Columbia, Sloan, Yale, Tuck, and NYU, looking to transition to either healthcare IB, VC, or MBB

For booth application - has anyone noticed that the activities asks for hours/year but the proof displays that number as hours per week. Any thoughts here?

UC Berkeley recommendation letter request not reaching Deloitte mail.
Firewall issue?
Please help😬

What’s a situation in which you wouldn’t submit your GMAT score at the end? Is it bad if you submit multiple scores to a school with each attempt?
