Not sure if this is the right bowl, but would waiting another year to apply for an MBA be a deal breaker? Currently 26, planning on applying this upcoming round in the fall for a 2027 start date. I feel like I’m just not ready but want to give it a try anyway. 2028 feels so far away, but it would give me more time to prep. Not sure if it’s hitting the end of range.

Don't you guys think this bowl serving no purpose , like till now not a single post regarding job opportunities offering complete remote . No proper news posting regarding remote jobs.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
