Haven’t heard of this or anything similar in other schools. Did you previously apply to them, and where did they reach out/find you?

no ive only gone to their info sessions, havent applied ever. its basically a cold email.

Is this LGO?
They do reach out to people for sessions (typically URMs and women) with moderate frequency, often for MBA fairs.

Did you “okay” GMAC to send an 800 score or rough score ranges to potential schools of interest? I didn’t get an 800 but accidentally okay’ed it and got too many emails from Rochester, Georgia tech, and Tampa.

yup. mecheng

Do y'all check the box on applications where it asks if you're Black or African American? I didn't and I swear I went to this interview today and I could tell the woman didn't think I was Black before she met me lmao. Eyebrows hit her hairline but I'll give it to her she kept it professional. Do you think we're less likely to get the position if we check the box? Or more likely with all these new "diversity initiatives"?

Currently in the US but interviewing for a UK-based firm and role. The comp level they are throwing around is £250k TC. Is this reasonable for a Director-level role with 12 YOE?

My comparator would be wait 18-24mo to become a consulting partner - in the US that starts at $450k/£325k.

For the purposes of this question, assume I’m optimizing for initial comp, not long term potential, and not livability, Intl experience, WLB, CoL etc.

Thanks!

Hi fishes
Need suggestion. Got an offer with a product company A through referrel with just 70% hike. They initially told me to not look for any offer as it is a referral.

Now, I got another offer with around 150% in another product company B. Joining date in both are by next week. How to politely reject the offer from Company A ( they won't match the new offer). I am afraid if there is any consequences.

Now giving interview with Chubb, Will Chubb match this offer?

Please guide me 🙏
