Bali recommendations on things to do?
I am reaching out to you all and am looking forward to break into Investment Banking from Consulting. Applied to Goldman Sachs via a referral but my resume is stuck after HireVue. Talked to the VO who referred me and he said Goldman doesn’t hire in Q4. If that’s true and still need to be in GS, can someone forward my resume directly to the team? Their career portal sucks. TIA Goldman Sachs PS: I promise a dinner in a dance place in NY after I get hired as a sign of my gratitude 🙈

You felt? Did you already do it? It really depends because some courses like finance and accounting aren’t mathematically difficult but many engineers struggle with them because of concepts are all new. Generally, bschools difficulty really comes from the volume of work, not as much the content. That plus juggling recruiting and extracurriculars
I assume art degrees are much more rigorous
Art degrees at legitimately top schools are very intense. They only look easy from the outside.
I was a polymath at High School level, top grades in everything all honors, bla bla bla. I studied CS at uni and finished with an overall 3.9. I also got praise from my language, literature, history, philosophy, and civ professors.
I then went to to Bauer for MBA (which is one of the few schools left that are notorious for not giving out high grades easily). I went full load while also working full time. I finished my MBA with a 3.85.
I was able to do so because business school is a cake walk. Just read what you are told and proof read your writing before submitting them.
Assuming your writing skills are above average, any STEM major can get an MBA at any school without a sweat. The reverse (business bachelor's getting a MS in CS) is nearly unthinkable.
Also, it’s not just math and accounting. You need to work on other skills like negotiation, strategy, presentations. The soft skills really get built in an MBA. But it’s fun the whole way.
For what it’s worth my undergrad degree (biochemistry) was magnitudes harder than my grad degree (master’s of health administration).
Same!!
Well I went to M7 and majored in statistics so no, my classes were not that easy and required a crap ton of time in the library learning advanced modeling and analysis
Engineers are so insufferable lmao
Completely agree
Most top MBA schools have grade non disclosure and a forced curve of a B+ for all courses.
It’s nearly impossible to flunk out, so by that standard, yes, it’s much easier than undergrad. That said, if you’ve already decided that taking 2 years off work and pay $250K+ is worth attending, I would hope you genuinely try to learn from it.

May not be the same for all advanced degrees but mine was a lot more working in trans and project based where undergrad was more lecture based and show up for finals and the exams. Not saying there are not exams in grad school but normally it is more then just passing exams.
With that said I wouldn’t say it’s hard in the sense that physics is but does require time and effort to do well snd get the most out of it.
Depending on which school and program, art school can be surprisingly rigorous
lol The real experience comes with fighting the program to get them to do their jobs right. Its persuasion, motivation, negotiation, and karening all in one course.
I actually found the MBA enjoyable and pretty educational in some ways. The professor quality makes the program. It sounds like your course isn't the best, which is fine- every program has a few courses that suck.
@A1, Covid era bs led to quite a bit of poor program decision.
