Is anyone going for Fall 22 2-year full time MBA worried about graduating into a recession? Or am I overthinking this? Currently in pharma/biotech hoping to pivot to LuxRet which will definitely be hit if a recession slides through.

If I leave Deloitte after one full year post MBA will I still get to keep the first installment of tuition or will I need to return it if I don’t stay the full two years?

Hi Fishes,
I have been working with Walmart for the past 14 months and have recently got an offer from Blackrock for 45 LPA.
Considering the recession and US market scenario, help me understand if it will be a good move to join BlackRock OR should I continue with Walmart with the current compensation.

PS. I am not happy with growth prospects in the current project in Walmart.

Role : Data Scientist
YOE : 11
C CTC :35 LPA

Let's get Meta with it here for a second. Since it's Monday, and I'm relatively jr. I'm interested to hear your experience breaking into the industry as a minority. What was it like.

I currently work in Transactions Tax but I am keen to move into Corporate Finance or FDD.

I dont have any prior Audit experience so I am just pondering how realistic my aspirations are given my tax background. Can anyone advise as to what would be the best route of transition?

Thanks

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?

Hi Everyone,

I am working with a startup as a Business Development Manager and currently based in Delhi.

I am looking forward to make a transition from the Sales/BD role to Product Management roles. Also doing a certification from Institute of Product Leadership for a smooth transition. Can anyone help me with this.

YOE in sales& BD ~ 6 years

If you are a manager how did you move to that level? It seems like a step that's out of my reach no matter how long I've worked at the company or how hard I work.

I’ve been practicing in traditional labor for about two years now (although about a decade of labor relations experience) but I’m trying to break into employee benefits law. Unfortunately I’m not being given much experience in benefits as I’m pretty typecast as a labor atty. Any advice on how I can go about getting employee benefit experience? My long term goal is to have benefits be my main area of practice.

I’m currently an HR specialist and trying to decide what I want my future to look like. I would like to step away from the transactional, administrative HR work. I’m fascinated by employee satisfaction and like the idea of helping to improve retention and leveraging metrics to improve toxic work environments (I’ve seen a fair share of dysfunction in my career). I’m thinking the Consultant route may be best for this. Any other thoughts of roles or titles that may align?

Hey Fishes, I feel the RTO policy in not getting enforced rather it is getting imposed it seems (in ZS across offices). Suddenly from being employee centric they have shifted their focus to ZS culture and values. Let the thoughts pour in!

My dilemma:

I'm at a LMM investment bank. Can get crazy sometimes, but otherwise chill. Typically done around 7-9 pm, had maybe three 1 am nights. Haven't worked a weekend in over a month. Fridays almost always done at 5 pm.

Have an offer at a reputable MM bank but probably pretty sweaty. Worth the move?

For those who switched from consulting to mid market PE, how do you like it?

Hey fishes, I recently joined this bowl.
I m having 10+ exp in Manual Testing and looking to upgrade myself into Data Analytics so can you please guide me
I hv read existing comments and found that Python, Excel, R these r hot topics but can anyone pls share some courses, links, material to start with it.
Thank you.

Any Sloanies or Sloan Admit’s in this bowl who wouldn’t mind sharing some tips for the interview? Wondering how technical it may get or what general vibe/questions asked are. Thanks so much!

This is going to sound like an insane question but I keep reading comments in various threads saying that a 760 GMAT in the banking / consulting / PE world is pretty average and won’t help an application. If true, what is the alternative? Retake for a 780??

Does anyone have thoughts on being roommates with someone who is recruiting for the same post-MBA gig as you (IB/MBB)? Should you try to get someone going for the same thing/is it advantageous as you grind through recruiting together or does it not really matter?

Any tips, tricks for GMAT and using Magoosh effectively? I’m a month-ish out of test day, and using Magoosh... my practice test says 660 (although I did much higher on GMAT math than Magoosh math).

I’m very interested in applying to business schools with a strong social impact / social innovation focus. So far thinking of applying to Stanford, Haas and Yale. Only want to apply to 4 schools max this cycle - anyone have strong thoughts on what school should be the 4th?

What is the net total compensation of someone joining MBB in NYC after MBA? I read the gross TC is 230k including sign on bonus, but I am an international and have no idea of how taxes work in the US

Hi, this is a bit early but thought y’all might have some good insight. I’m exiting my current startup & have two offers on the table 1. A successful small startup in NYC doing PE/niche executive recruiting and 2. a fairly reputable PE consulting group in Austin. I’m going through the recruitment process at McKinsey for a middle/back office role (capabilities for a really cool space) but by the time I hear back, one of my offers won’t be on the table. Any advice on what’s best for MBA apps?

Hello, I was in a verbally abusive college relationship and struggled with mental health. Therefore, my gpa suffered greatly (2.9). However, I now have a good job and am doing very well. Should I explain the reason for my low GPA in my MBA app? I’m applying to LBS, Booth, Stanford, UCLA, UCB etc.

ORM 740 GMAT, 3.1 GPA from Top 10 Public, Tier 2 -> Tech in Finance with 4 YOE. Would it be a reach to get into UCLA, Yale, or Berkeley?

I am not that smart. Got a very low score on ACT (below average). Should I even consider getting a MBA? My firm does offer sponsorship, but taking/studying for GMAT/GRE is already stressing me out.

Only just realized that we don’t get admission decisions until a set date for most schools. 3 month wait for Yale/Tuck is going to kill me

All else equal, does having a company sponsor you at all affect chances at M7?

If defer one year, could you apply for more scholarship or negotiate more scholarship during the deferral year?

How to not seem like you are reaching out to the admissions director just for the sake of it?

What questions to ask via mail?

Ps. I'm extremely introverted. My soft skills are really bad. Doing all this to survive.
