Just realized I forgot to put my minor on my resume (Business) and only listed my major, but the minor is on my transcript which is included in all my applications. I’ve interviewed for some spots and waiting to hear back but now I’m scared that this oversight will cost me😭

I don’t think schools use undergrad minor information in their class mix calculations.

Also, given you’d already have some experience in consulting, a minor in business wouldn’t have added much to your profile from an admissions perspective anyway.

I interviewed for the position of Associate Human Capital Advisory role at KPMG. I cleared my first round but for the second round tgey gave me 2 case studies and one excel assessment to be completed in 2.5 hours.

Need some advice. I was asked to apply for a senior digital marketing specialist role (the lowest title I’ve applied for, looking mid-senior level).

To me, if I interviewed for the senior title, and I can clearly do the qualifications needed since you offered me the role, I should have that title. Thoughts? Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.

I’m gotta kick off this bowl with a story that my client shared with me today during the interview. This young man started playing with Bitcoin 10 years ago. In 2013 he accidentally sent 50 BTC to an wrong address!! So the 50 BTC is in limbo and no owners.

Here is the question (maybe for crypto tax attorneys): if he attempt to recover this asset this year and then he failed to do so, then he decided to officially give up, should the loss be falling into abandoned assets but not casualty?
