I didn’t get into any schools this past application cycle but got into H/S. I feel like I’m going to be incredibly insecure meeting my classmates this fall who probably got into every school with crazy scholarships too. Do people typically share where else they got in, GMAT, etc. when you go to school?

Is anyone aware if F1 transfer to a different school is possible after cap gap extension ends on Sep 30?

Joining Google in a few weeks and assuming I will be moving to the Bay Area sometime this year. For people who have kids, what do you do about schools? My wife and I are looking to buy a place but most the public schools in the South Bay are rated terribly. It’s good to note we don’t have kids yet but are trying to think longer term. Are schools even considered in the resale value of a house? Thoughts and insights appreciated!

Looking to transition to a new career, possibly to SWE. I have a physical science background with some student loan debt. Before I dive into more student loans, I wanted to check out some Software Engineering boot camps....

I'm 26 with 5 years of experience and trying to transition to the B4 for more experience. I've noticed it's hard to land jobs at the Fortune 100 companies without this experience. Can anyone recommend the best way to make this transition? I fee like they only target college grads.

Out of curiosity and to see how we all compare to one another, what are people seeing as raise changes from Senior 1 to Senior 2? I want to see if an 8% raise is fair or poor

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
Thoughts 💭 ???

What is work-life balance like in big tech legal? I’m currently in house at a large multinational; I like my job and I get paid fine, with a very good WLB (40-45 hrs). I want to look into FAANG-type opportunities as they would mean a huge pay bump, and I think I’m qualified, but I have no idea about the hours, and I don’t want to substantially give up WLB, as that’s why I left BigLaw. I don’t want to be miserable again. I know Amazon is poorly reputed for lawyer WLB… what about other places?
