Recently hired an admissions consultant and based off of our consultation she was great. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a ton of non-gmat club/PQ feedback on her but I went with my gut and moved forward. What is the best way to get the most out of my experience with her? I am starting from the ground up for R1.

Which company did you hire from? I honestly wouldn’t worry because most don’t have a ton of non-GMAT club/ PQ feedback. I suggest you do your hw and have points ready to talk through the key aspects of your achievements and let her guide you during brainstorming to carve out a story

mbaMission - appreciate the feedback!

Hope you don’t plan to rush apply to more than 3-4 schools if you’re starting from ground up now, especially if they have Sept deadlines. If most of your schools are Oct, then disregard.

Targeting 3-4 earliest ranging from mid-Sept to first week of Oct. Feedback I’ve gotten is tough but doable.

One of my friends works as a Director in Nagarro. She has been there for 7 years and has a CTC of 42 with total yoe 17. Per current trend this is low even though she is a constant top performer. She says that even though delivery people play a pivotal role, they are not paid well. In her team, she sees technical people earning 45-50 at 10-11 yoe. So the factor is 2.5 for delivery vs 4.5 to 5 for technical roles. Per her, this is quite common in Nagarro & she is not an outlier. ctd in comments
