If you don't intend to return to MBB after MBA, is it better to self fund / get a loan or to get MBA scholarship from your employer but then payback?

I guess with scholarship, less of a cash flow impact immediately + option to return. But don't know how harmful it is to renege on the post-mba commitment

Depends on if you think you’ll get a role that would pay you the value of your tuition immediately - or if you care/can afford for it not to matter.

Reneging on the promise to come back is usually fine as long as you tell them with plenty of notice + actually pay them back.

It’s not harmful, you just have to pay back with interest. They’re not recently incentivized to cut you a break on that though.

Good traders tend to be flexible. I can make money in all kinds of markets, being a bull or a bear. Today was a headscratching day. We rallied a lot farther than we should have. We bounced in place's we shouldn't have. So, I have to ask myself? What the hell happened? While I made money today, I should have made lots more money. Remember the tip that markets don't count Pre-NY Mondays. If I decided to do my from last weeks low as opposed to today's low. I'm bullish. Additional info in reply post

Hi there, I had a question about 401k or Roth IRA. Should I put money into anyone of the two as an international student? I don’t see the point because I want to invest my money instead of saving it.

So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?
