Love seeing all the state college grads getting jobs at MBB as interns and after graduation. It used to be rare when I graduated 5 years ago. I’m so glad to see the times change, and a fair opportunity be given to non-ivy league kids.

I love it too. I do interviews for one of the MBBs at the undergrad level, and I really love seeing someone from a state school kill it and get an offer. Makes me feel better about meritocracy not being dead.

As a state school UG and MBA at MBB...love it as well! Def feel like I’m one of the very few people in my cohort that’s never been to a private school

Because HYSP grads overwhelming now list tech as their first choice. MBB is still prestigious but people prefer tech and the upside it brings with stock options etc. and the WLB.

I wonder where all the Ivy League kids are going these days

The classes are getting so big that we have to expand the reach instead of going further down at the same schools. The top students at the “State schools” are generally way better than the 20th kid from an Ivy in a class

I graduated from a state school nobody heard from near the top of my class. Managed to network my way to IBM consulting (back when people actually wanted to work there)

I absolutely loved being compared to peers at ivy leaguers as their top students went elsewhere. Our ivy league population consisted of lazy legacy kids , 3.0 in B.S. majors, and seemingly the an entire lacrosse team. Allowed me to get promoted quickly and move across the industry once shit hit the fan at ibm

Haha. True. This person was a data modeling whiz kid. First day on the study (his overall first day on any study) and he crushed it.

I have 1 one year old and have told my husband that I want to get divorced. He is being immature about the process and is just trying to make everything difficult. Sometimes he says he will move out, then he says the baby and I should, sometimes he says he wants custody when the real reason im leaving is his lack of interest amd resppnsibility toward our family. I can tell he is hurt and is upset that i dont love him anymore and want to get everything ready to make the exit easy. How do I start?

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
