Get the one you love. Clients don't care. Your peers don't care. And, frankly, most people think large diamonds are now all man-made. So a huge rock doesn't send the signal it used to.

Buy whatever makes you feel happy. It’s your engagement ring - what do your clients have to do with it

Even if anyone asks you, just say your fiance bought you that one. Problem solved.

Have you had to change your start date after accepting an offer and how did it go? I told them I need to give 30 day notice and so I set my start date (incorrectly) assuming the background check and drug screen would take a few days to clear. However, the drug screen is now taking over a week and a half (still not finished, maybe tomorrow). Apparently things are much slower due to staffing issues and labs are backed up. It’s cutting into my 30 day notice significantly. Thoughts?

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
