I’m 1.5 months delayed in getting my recommender a gift, what should I get him? I got into CBS but I don’t want to tell him the news before giving his gift for fear of sending the message of “hey I got in, so now I’m grateful and here’s a gift”. Do I send the gift, then tell him I got into CBS a few days later?

Yes, I think you wait to tell him. In my experience recommenders have no idea what the timeline is, so as long as he doesn’t hear it from someone else you can wait as long as you need to to tell him.

Just lateraled and looks like I’ll be taking on a sizeable privacy practice from an associate who left recently. Any benefit to CIPP and CIPM training/certification as a lawyer? In DC if that matters.

First year associate here. I feel like imposter syndrome has made me into a perfectionist, which subsequently has caused an oddly high level of anxiety. I am constantly second guessing myself and I feel like other attorneys at my firm look at me like I’m a moron. I.e. I will give analysis and never hear back from that partner until the next assignment. Is silence from a partner’s end normal? And, how do I break out of this cycle of insecurity?

I was discussing my recent job search with some friends and we got into a small debate.

Would appreciate any input. My friend is transitioning to another job. She’s put 4-week notice in accordance with her contract. However, seems like her employer is giving her hell for such “short notice”🤷‍♀️ There are concerns for her due to small industry in this area. Potential retaliation? Is there anything I could recommend her? She still has 4 weeks with them 🤦‍♀️

GMAT in 3 days. Should I take another mock? I've exhausted 4/6 official mocks already.

I was at at a 700 (Q47, V40) last week and properly tanked a mock yesterday (640, Q45, V33) since I didn't give it in the right state of mind and with some anxiety.

My cold verbal scores more than a month back were both 35 then and all questions I got wrong yesterday were a cakewalk when I read them calmly while reviewing.

Target is score is 720+ since I'm ORM and aiming for M7. Might have to take it again.

Need some advice... have GMAT in 2 weeks. About a month ago I was scoring in the range in want on the test (right after I finish the MGMAT course). Since then I have been doing strictly OG guide problems. I have taken tests the last 2 weeks and my score has been declining significantly. Obviously a steady diet of practice problems has not helped at all. What can I do differently to try to get my score up by test day?
