Planning on applying to B school this year. Tough project has limited GMAt/app prep time. Better to wait until Round 2 or just suck it up and apply Round 1?

Good advice here - but also absolutely do not rush an application to meet a R1 deadline. Submit your application when you are 110% confident that it is the best it can be.

It's always inconvenient. Prep like you will do round one, then can make a game time decision on R1 vs. R2

How old are you? If you are young, round 2 is fine. If you are older it may hurt.

Also you can stagger schools across rounds. Maybe do one or two more competitive ones in Round 1, like HSW. Tuck and Berkeley have 4 rounds and you can go for a November round if you are applying there.

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

Wondering if I’m making the right choice

Starting us off with an important tip: Your resume is a marketing document, not an autobiography. It should include relevant jobs, responsibilities, and perhaps most importantly, achievements. Where you can quantify an accomplishment or just talk up a major project you led at work or in an internship, do so. The point is to make the hiring manager think, “Wow, I need to talk to this person! They seem like a good fit!”
