If you get a internal referral for a post-MBA role at MBB, does your GMAT score matter?

Depends on who refers you - a senior partner or an associate, and on your other qualifications. That being said, if it’s too low then it’s a pretty obvious red flag

What if you haven’t even taken the GMAT? It’s not necessarily a “requirement” for a post-MBA role if you are already in a post-MBA role (e.g., Big 4 Manager), correct?

What was your reasoning for seeking an MBA?

Was reached out from an Amazon Recruiter for a Program Manager role. Got past the online assessment and now they are asking for total compensation expectations (inclusive of RSUs, bonuses).

Hello Fishes,
I am looking for position in Product Ownerships /Business Analysis /Product Management role.
I can join immediately.

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
