I’m taking my GMAT in a couple days and my latest practice test dropped me 30 points. Is this reason for major concern? Should I delay the exam?

Only if you know why it dropped. Was it because you didn't understand concepts? Push it back. Was it because you made careless mistakes? You should be fine.

Hi All! I need some quick advice. Is it better to go for a MBA (over 17k in debt) or a ProSic certification? My company would cover the cert, but they don’t offer any tuition reimbursement, unfortunately… I want to be at the Director level in 5years, but I’ve heard I need a graduate degree to even be considered… I’ve considered leaving my current company just for better benefits/pay.

Guys could you let me know how Incedo as an organization ?
Points to consider as well:
1. Getting a 30% hike
2. Is it worth leaving HSBC ? WLB is very good in HSBC
3. Designation is more or less same
4. Any other points to validate ?

Hi all,
Need an advice. I am confused between doing masters or learn tech stack and increase experience and salary.
*My primary goal is to earn more.*
If masters I have to do in US or UK, so GRE, GMAT.
If for learning and tech experience I can learn tech stacks.
But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?
Currently I am a Java developer.
TIA
