🎯 MBA🐟, if MBB hired you, do you have the option to get tuition reimbursement instead of signing bonus? E.g. Accenture Strategy gives 50k towards loans

Accenture strategy pays off your student loans? 😮 That's awesome

No but it’s the same thing, get signing bonus and pay your tuition down

like

Deloitte gives signing bonus plus $50K tuition reimbursement for summer interns that return. LEK also gives $25k tuition reimbursement I think in addition to singing bonus

like

Nope. I got sign-on bonus, relocation bonus, and that's it. Sounds like you're asking for a larger signing bonus, which may be hard to negotiate unless you got competing MBB offers.

Accenture give you a nice discount on the stock too, which BTW, is near an all time high. We all share in the firm’s success-much like your partnerships and the retired partners.

Actually hurts you if you wanted to itemize MBA expenses as business expense since you can’t itemize if they are reimbursed

Non-MBB have trouble preventing their interns from jumping ship to MBB. That's why they offer a big extra inducement. MBB isn't worried about that, and has vastly better lifetime economics.

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.
