Is anyone getting cold feet for business school this fall? Was excited but am now increasingly nervous about the subpar experience and hiring difficulties that may result from a potential recession. Don’t know if I should stay at current role and reapply this fall or just attend T15 school and see what happens.

Yup - de-enrolled last week. Reapplying next year. Not worth it - you only go to MBA once. Spring likely will also be affected. And even though it’s hybrid in person now, it could change any moment if there is a spike. If you push it off, you will be able to travel, drink/party, and recruit in person when things clear up.

Internal moves are the worst here (they did the same thing to me when I went from AAE to AE). Anyone have advice besides leaving (I'm already looking)? Jr (60k + OT, mid 70k no OT)
