I’m applying to big law jobs in the summer, and my grade are becoming available so I’m sending out transcripts. Do the firms require transcripts sent out directly from the law school? I want to know how confidential they want the documents to be.

So the public unions have tried to divert funds for new students, wishing to attend private schools in Calif... any other states preventing school choice?

Me: I’m insecure and risk-averse.

Anyone else getting pretty harsh feedback on your candidacy as a whole from Maria at applicant lab? I feel like I have a doable shot at my target schools based on gpa, gmat and essays but every time she reviews she suggests I have no chance. It’s been pretty discouraging.

Hello! It seems this bowl is not very active but I'd like it to be. So here's my story: Born & raised in PR, moved to CA for undergrad & have been here since then. I graduated from law school in 2019, followed by a 2 yr bk clerkship. I did the evening program. I really enjoyed law school, in spite of the microaggressions, the late nights, & crazy competition. Love all things diversity in the law. Anyway, currently looking for a position in NYC/DC area. 🤗

Do you have to have an MBA to get a job at Big4? I'm trying to get into Deloitte.

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.)

Has anyone done an MPhil+DPhil in eg economics in Europe? What are admissions standards like at Oxford, Cambridge, LSE?

So I’m planning on leaving my position before school starts, but the application and interview process has been slow. At this point I’m afraid I won’t find a job until late July. Should I let my school now and let them post my job as an anticipated position? I’d hate for them to have to find someone last minute, but I also want to keep that school as a fall back just in case. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible position and there has not been a lot of interest in it in the past.

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?

Btw Bloomberg is not really running for President. He’s building a political campaign machine that he’s going to unleash against Trump all year. It’s going to be an interesting case study...

Is there such place as non toxic ID firm? Or does any of ID attys like what they do? I moved from general practice to an ID firm six months ago. Biggest mistake of my life. I am trying hard not to just quit and walk away as I’m battling head cold but still have to bill bill bill and get criticized for not billing right and etc and cases being piled up - while everyone is looking forward to the long weekend. I seriously question my judgement. Need word of wisdom just to get through this hellhole

My probation has been increased by 2 months unnecessarily. I had heard EY has no fire policy. I’m working so well and constantly. Can they fire me after that?

Hi & welcome.
Tell me your stories. Why made you decide to choose a career that's different and creative? I'll start. I am an extrovert. I am not very keen of studying and that, ideally is the reason why engineering or medical was not my cup of tea. I chose Journalism and Mass Media. In the academics, we had multiple subjects and one of them was Writing for media. This was the beginning. This is where I thought I can be a writer. A Content Writer. Besides this, I am love Rhyming Words.
Your turn

PwC'ers. How much am I looking at for healthcare for myself, my wife, and toddler?

I start in a week, haven't seen figures yet.

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful

Any law students have tips on meal planning? I don’t eat until super late at night after work & class (10pm) it’s hard to consistently find time to prep meals on the wkend bc it cuts into study time.

Anyone already stressing over the July bar?
