No, not for M&A specifically. Maybe if you want to combine it with other experience though

Disagree. Learn the skills, skip the test.

I mean if you want to continue doing project management work in M&A, sure. If not, no.

I’m quitting two weeks before my coworkers maternity leave starts. They told me I’d have to cover her work and there’s no way that’s gonna happen. Also I just got into grad school.

Do you think using “him/her” for “he/she” (ex: “her is playing” “him not here yet”) is something that kids usually grow out of? Or does it need direct intervention? I have 2 students who exhibit this error, who otherwise should be dismissed. Normally I’d just keep them on and work on it alongside other goals, but they don’t have any other goals, and with COVID, and my upcoming maternity leave in March, a more compact caseload would be advantageous.

I’m pretty reserved and quiet. I do good 1-on-1, but I tend to listen more than talk. Has anyone had success in opening up more or becoming outgoing?
