Is it rude to not tip your MBA professors at the end of the semester? I'm having a chat with classmates at a top school who tip their professors at the end of semester, usually right before finals, and I had no idea this was a thing. That said, I'm new to the US so maybe I just don't understand your customs. Should I be tipping my professors before finals too??

This is called bribing.

VP And, just to be clear, bribing is bad in American culture so we shouldn't do it??

The custom is one month post-grad salary. Without the tax withholding, you don’t want to come across cheap.

Bro they must be messing with you. There are legit laws in place at most universities which prevents this. The prof could lose their job (tenure or not). I've had some pretty odd acts of generosity with students but never just straight cash hahahaha

The way tipping culture is in America, I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually became a thing some day.

You mean “tipping” culture?

Need some advice: Last year I left consulting to take a job in industry (a pay cut, but more freedom, WLB). Due to covid I switched to yet another company (same industry). It’s been half a year at the new place and I absolutely hate it. Not the work, but the company genuinely sucks. Considering a) mba for next fall (just as a reset) or b) job hopping yet again. I’m so demoralized that the past two industry jobs have gone so badly. I’m starting to regret not just staying in consulting...

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good.

It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
