Damn that’s a tough one . Usually I would say go for $$& but it is GSB .

If you can afford it then go to GSB . If you think you’ll struggle and can’t maximize your mba than go to Sloan . Both will get you to mbb or FAANG, but I think the network and long term opportunities at GSB will be unrivalled.

Many of your mba colleagues will be financially well off and/ or sponsored so money does become a big factor when networking and having fun . Being poor in a great university can destroy the experience

Never ever not go to GSB/HBS. 150k is irrelevant over a 30-year career, and there’s a crevasse between GSB and Sloan in opportunities, market value and recognition

Depends on your long term goal, if you want to pivot to finance in long term, then it’s GSB

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license. I was a financial advisor but the role is commission only so I decided to take a role as an assistant for some time to learn etc. I really like my role, but I only make 32k a year and after taxes I only take home about 25k. I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?

I want to join a start up in my industry but I need to rescind a job acceptance from a more establish company. I resigned from my old job and didn’t start the new job yet. Is the non compete I signed, as part of the job offer acceptance for the position with the bigger company, enforceable if I rescind my job acceptance before I actually start a new job? I don’t think it is. I didn’t receive a sign on bonus so no additional consideration was exchanged from my understanding of my law classes.

The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
