thank you all for being part of this.... ❤️

Would you guys consider leaving for a role that offers a much higher base salary but no opportunities to advance? Got an offer that’s an 85% raise adjusted for cost of living. The work seems interesting and I like the company but it’s a smaller office so I basically couldn’t get promoted unless my boss retires or quits.

I am holding 3 offers-
1) BOSCH - 13LPA
2) DTICI - 14.5LPA + 1JB
3) MIQ - 18 LPA
Does BOSCH/DTICI entertain counter offers? Also please suggest which to join?

Is kyndryl going to address the 7% inflation this year with any raises?

Kellogg, Booth, CBS, Haas, SOM - please rank for someone looking to return to consulting but stay in healthcare long term.

Looking for a referral to a company that’ll sponsor a future MBA. Already applied to MBB and Big 4. Are there any other options?

I had technical difficulties but was able to submit my Kellogg video essays 5 minutes after 5pm. I received notice my response was successfully submitted, but do you think my responses will be automatically disqualified given it’s slightly over the 96 hour deadline?

Do we need to send the official score to all the scores or is unofficial schools enough?

What are thoughts on Rotman with $$? Debating between that and just wait another year for T15. International student looking for jobs in Canada, 720 GMAT, 3 yoe at big 4

GSB admits- is there something similar to the estimate your aid tool at HBS? Anecdotally heard they had one last year but can't see anything on the portal.

When should you reach out to people for rec letters? How many schools should you apply to for round 1? If rejected, should you apply for the same number of schools round 2? Thanks for your help!!

Going to Wharton in the fall. Is it worth going MBB over returning to big 4 (sponsored)? Is this a common path?

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%. I eventually do want to cross the $300K threshold but I know stopping work for 2 years and getting and MBA probably won’t get me a $300K job right away. Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).

Left BCG 8m ago to start my own startup. 15m of experience but left with good performance - considering bschool for fall 22 - who would I go to for LORs? Everyone at current company I help supervise

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
