Is applying in Round 3 a waste of money for a domestic applicant? I didn't get my GMAT score where I wanted it for R2, so I waited. I’ve heard R3 is basically impossible unless you have a crazy-unique profile. Should I just bite the bullet and apply now, or is it smarter to wait until R1 in the fall to have a better shot at being accepted?

I applied R3 and got into both Kellogg and Booth (and of course went to Booth). It’s certainly possible.

I heard this year the applications are way down. It might be worth shooting your shot, especially as a domestic applicant.

Advice on applying to PM jobs with 1yr APM experience?

I’ve been working as an APM at my current company for 1yr, and have basically been doing the work of a full blown PM the entire time. I’ve lead several features from start to finish and made sure to mention in my resume that I have been doing everything a regular PM does. Has anyone ever hired an APM for a PM role or done it yourself? Any tips? Advice?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?
