I've heard of people using HBS CORe to demonstrate quantitative ability on their MBA application, but not to get more comp at their job. Most of the their courses are non-rigorous executive education seminars.

Don’t do it. Not worth it. Everyone knows what it is and it doesn’t have prestige

You’re not going to get prestige with it but I see individuals with the cert and it shows they value learning. I’d never do it but why not?

No and if you pay them you deserved to lose that money, most people, per some of the above, openly mock the people silly enough to put these things on their resumes or LinkedIn profiles. So let me be clear, HBS ONLINE IS NOT HARVARD

“Required summer learning to be completed for the first day of the semester and presented proof of completion to professor”, not homework

funny

lol

No…Cringe lol

The courses are great for someone trying to improve their resume for MBA apps, internally move from a more technical to business role, or someone who just enjoys learning. The courses are some of the highest quality online ones out - both from a content and presentation perspective.

It’s not an HBS MBA, or even close. But use it for those purposes above and it will give you some value.

Thanks Y'alls - Snark & all.
Bigger thanks to A1 for providing a solid case
I already have an MSc, and partway thru my PhD - was just doing this HBS thing for fun.

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

I’ve been seeing all of the Instagram and Linked In posts from agencies in town showing their “commitment to transparency in hiring” and to hire more minorities in light of the BLM movement. I knew the numbers were bad, but holy shit, not THAT bad.
It’s infuriating to me, as a POC how many fucking times I applied, emailed and reached out to so many of these agencies without getting even the time of day.
I’ll believe their supposed commitments, when I actually see the results.
