Does wipro provides car parking to employees in Gurgaon cyber city office??

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

wondering if any consultants here have switched to IB? And if so, what’s the process for doing so!

do any consulting firms in the US (MBB, Big 4) sponsor MBA programs outside of the country (e.g. London Business School, HEC Paris, INSEAD)

Got rejected by all of 5 of my schools. No interest in R2 now. Feel so dejected, and also unsure as to what I did wrong having been interviewed at each of those universities.

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Any downsides to MacBook at school?

I regret not applying to Harvard. I never thought I’d get into a top school and then got into wharton with a 100k fellowship - which changed my entire perspective. It sucks thinking “what if…”.

Any thoughts on Warwick Business School MBA?

Is Booth PT MBA worth it or should I do FT at a T20 school such at UT Austin or Georgetown? I get that immediate exit opps aren’t the same at a PT program compared to Full Time, but I’m looking at it holistically over the course of a 30 year career
