Is anyone attending ACTE Region I this year on March 11-13? Our school is one of the exhibition schools to visit.

Is an MBA really worth it?

What does an online MBA look like in terms of class time, work load, realistic time to complete etc?

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?

I need some advice. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Healthcare Administration with 20 plus years working in different Healthcare roles. I am working as a PBM Claim Specialist. What other positions can I apply for that is fully remote and better pay? Side note I am thinking of applying to nursing school sometime later down the line. Any advice will be greatly appreciated .

Hi all,
I am tech guy with almost 3yr exp, but I want to switch to a Management role. Going for an MBA is not possible for me. I was wondering about the possibility to switch to a management role within the next 2 years without an MBA. Company/Brand is not a bar for me.
Can somebody please suggest how to do this?

Hey there -

Off the cuff -

My kidlet is a frosh in HS - she has wanted to be a surgeon since she was 3 - the last year or so, she's started specifying trauma surgery.

So... what's a good med school to track into a strong trauma residency? My second dad talks about Presbyterian in NYC as awesome.. but am trying to get an understanding of options to help degap her own research.

What matters?

Thanks a bunch!

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management. They both have the same requirements, generally speaking, including a field immersion course that serves as a capstone in the Master's in Management, which is fairly new. If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

740 GMAT, 3.5 GPA at a top 30 US undergrad. I’m a gay white male applying to several M7s… wondering if it is worthwhile to apply to Wharton and Booth? I feel like my story is average (manager at Accenture), and I’m eyeing schools where I would be competitive for scholarship.

Would you mind helping an art director who also lectures in art direction schools please: what has been the most exciting or memorable or useful lecture in your Art Direction school/course as students? I want to give real value they can spend professionally and not blah blah, so I am interested in what you people have considered a valuable input.
Please no suggestions like "Change your studies until it's too late" (because I have already done that lesson haha --and they are still there)

Do you think culinary school is worth it? I've been a waiter for a year but really want to be a chef. The people I work with say to just start in the kitchen and work my way up but I think culinary school might get me where I want to be faster. The cost is pretty insane though. Any advice?

Feel like I’ve come to a point in my consulting career where I’ve reached the end of what this job can provide me, career-wise and as an opportunity for personal/professional development. I’m planning to apply to a masters program, which would kick off next fall, but need to stay where I am between now and then to be able to pay for school. Any tips on staying motivated to get the work done, or on seeking out new opportunities for growth, when you feel like you’ve plateaued?

Good morning all I hope all is well. Just wanted to pick your brains with a question. Cloud Engineer Bootcamp vs Self Study for Certifications vs Getting a Masters in Cloud Computing. Say the person is currently a Help Desk Support staff.

I'm asking for a friend that posed the question to me so I wanted to get others perspectives.

Say the focus is AWS and the individual has a Bachelor's in Computer Science. Which do you recommend that they go into now?

What is an online MBA program you would recommend?

Can someone help me listing companies which have any sort of reimbursement policy or support (eg. Sabbatical) for employees who wish to opt for further studies? Full time or part time
TIA

Learned through my program I am selected as a Forte Fellow. Anybody know what this means or if it provides scholarship?

I’m a product designer with about 5+ YOE I’m exploring courses/programs that one could take up as a mid career professional. I have a keen interest in Service Design, Behavioural Sciences, Design Research but not very sure about the opportunities. At the same time I’m open to exploring Product Mgmnt and Data science as along with design. Any recommendations?
PS: I already have a Masters in design.

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

Any recommendations on schools that offer PhD studies as part time while one still works full-time? What's the tuition fee and years of study?

Has anyone in management consulting taken Day 1 CPT program after an MBA? What school / program did you go for, and were you able to convert to h1b successfully?

A friend is considering deferring an offer (stem PhD) for 1 year straight out of undergrad to work in NY, either in a research institution or a biotech. She does not have any real work experience outside of her lab (3 years) and an adjacent internship. Another factor is she is just generally feeling burnt out on school after the last few years.
To what extent did you find that a year or two of work impacts prospects coming out of PhD? How might a year off from school impact her PhD work itself?

Has anyone heard of The Next Step program at Dartmouth’s Tuck school of business? I’ve been Encouraged to apply

Hello. Does anyone know what is the pay for a junior and senior Data Engineer - Web Scraper in @Certik ?

I’m envious of the big status and points you international travelers get. I’ve always wondered how you get to travel internationally - just luck of the draw w projects? Or are you more senior?

Hi everyone I just finished last round of interview for BA

Has anyone else noticed that a hugely disproportionate number of latinx big law attorneys seem to be white / white-passing?

How does one go about switching practice groups within the same firm? I was under the impression it’s better to lateral elsewhere but I do really like my firm, just not the work in this practice area. Want to switch from transactional to litigation.

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea. I’m a 2nd year and I am the only associate staffed on about 30 cases-meaning I keep track of all deadlines, do all day to day assignments, keep on top of following up with client/OC, and all research/drafting. Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

“Absolutely no rush on this today—just send it by 6am tomorrow!”

How do I know Big-Law is not for me?

I am a first year who just started a couple of months ago and I am literally confused all the time. I did some small work for two partners and they loved it, so put me on new deals but the mid levels I am staffed with absolutely hate the work I do. One said the work I did was laughable. I felt bed because I spent over 25 hours on this. I wouldn’t be very bothered but the other Associates in my class are killing it. So I just feel dumb all the time.

In-house comp at firms like KKR or Blackstone? Thx in advance.

This summer I will be teaching the two courses required to gain the extension certificate to be a New York State certified Work-based Learning Coordinator. Is there a requirement for additional training to become a WBLC in your location? Is it part of an existing CTE teacher’s responsibility or something else? Do you need a WBLC for your program approval?

Anyone interested in teaching automotive technology in an Ohio CTE high school starting in the 2022-2023 school year. I’m retiring and trying to help find my replacement.

When you come back to school, are you expecting any staffing changes? Is that a good or bad thing? Do you think it should be addressed as a message from school administrators?

Does anyone have experience with ACT WorkKey assessments? Do you offer them to your students, and if so, who pays? Are these assessments of any value??

Hi! I am currently an Early Childhood Teacher, but I am interested in becoming an Early Childhood Education instructor at a technical high school. It will be a big jump from teaching K to teaching high school students but I am really excited about the possibility of working with the next generation of teachers. What are the best things about CTE? What challenges can I expect?

I have a unique challenge right now in my class. I teach hand drafting in my class and the sanitizer and sprays they are using is making the tape not stick, has anyone to run into this and does anyone have any suggestions? We have found if we wipe the table down with multiple kinds of cleaner in soap and let it dry well that it will stick better but this is a huge time consumer as we transition between classes.

Has anyone in your district asked any CTE teachers for their input regarding “back to school”? Or are you not invited to the table?

It’s officially October, so let’s check-in and see how the start of the school year is going for everyone. What’s been some wins you’ve experienced thus far? Any concerns?

Class size is a big deal, in NY a new piece of legislation was signed to bring down student count per class from 34 to 25 over the next few years. How big are your CTE classes? In NYC, they’re typically about 28 students.
