GMAT. Few business schools take GRE. You need at least a 680 for T30, 730+ for higher ranked schools.

GMAT being preferred is nonsense, it being the standard is true. I know at Sloan and many other schools they really don’t care which you submit (got in with GRE scores myself and talked about it after), it’s more weed out than anything else. Also, if are thinking of doing a combined program, the GRE can actually be preferred.

Again?! I believe your original score is valid for 5 years

You’re not wrong, but my score isn’t right

You can do it! Is it on schedule yet? Prob only a few months away?

You have too much faith in your fellow Big D colleagues

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.
