My partner is looking into going back to school for a masters in sustainability management. He is looking at a program through the Harvard Extension School Sustainability Management certificate. I’m wondering if anyone has done this? Or recommends a program they hear good things about? Preferably online so we don’t have to move! TIA!

Waiting for GSAP decision but have an mbb offer… not sure what’s the right move here. Wanted to go to bschool for the life experience

How is doing online MBA along with the job? Please suggest.

Thanks.

May be a dumb question here but feel like I have to ask. I’m a 1st generation college grad, I come from a blue collar family, I went to a no name liberal arts school. After 1 YOE in government I worked my way into B4, now 3 years later interviewing at MBB.

Considering my background, will I be an outsider?

GSB no $$$ vs Wharton half tuition? For someone not totally sure what they want to do. Sponsorship from McK is an option as well.

GMAT score: include or leave off resume? I took it to apply to MAcc programs a few years ago and got a 770. No intention of going to bschool but not sure if including it is a red flag or if it helps.

So boyfriend wants to go to grad school (online) while retaining full time job. What’s the impact from risk assessment perspective?

Thinking of moving to Toronto and getting an MBA at Rotman (a life goal before my GMAT expires). Will I get a fair shot at MBB recruiting at Toronto? if I have 10 yrs consulting exp. in big4 mostly in US.

Cass business school charging 70£ for a networking M&A and PE event. No big names and networking only for one hour post panel discussion. Do you guys think it's worth it?

Hi fishes,

I am a strategy consulting enthusiast from a middle class family. Don't have the financial stability to take a loan for an MBA and hence had to drop some renouned admits this year (Think top IIM's) due to family circumstances. I still dream big and request you to provide some insights for my research:-
1) Average expected package of an associate
2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate (not BCN)
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews

Can you get MBA tuition reimbursement if you’re a Digital Strategy Analyst? Or, do you need to be baptized as a pure Strategy Analyst?

Has anyone done a Master of Real Estate? Any thoughts of this degree?

How common is it for ex-consultants to take loans to go to MBA (assuming no sponsorship)? Genuinely curious

No one wants to give me a chance!!! I want to teach STEM, and my resume has all the STEM on it that I have done outside my classroom- overseas, summer school…and I am working on my masters in elementary education, science specialists. All they see is PREK. How can I ever get a chance to teach STeM if no one gives me a chance? Felling really discouraged.

What are you all doing to upskill as the geniuses in AI development fast track our demise? Any plans? I constantly fantasize about going back to school and going down a comp sci path maybe even PhD

Is anyone employed at AIG or has gone through their interview process and can provide some insight?

Are Colorado-specific salary ranges even close to what I can expect in Chicago in general? Or are those completely made up?

If you don’t have 8 hours of billable time a day, do you leave as is or do you fill in the gap with non-billable work? While I am in the office, I don’t always get the billable amount since I don’t have enough work. Seems like a waste of time to enter non-billable time just to fill in the gap but I also don’t want them to think I am not there and slacking off.

What’s the norm?

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs. I networked with VCs and one of them was receptive but didn't have the budget currently for a full time hire. They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

I am a Financial & Strategy Consultant (15+ yrs exp in Banking, Climate/Project Finance & Strategy Consulting) with a pending EB-2 NIW case. I got a request for additional evidence from USCIS.
