ECs? Type of work? Race?

Just from what I’ve learned this year: Based on the fact that you’re a minority, with 730 Gmat, already puts you in a top bucket. I’m a minority myself, and have researched this too. 3.6 and Big4 is as basic as it comes, but your race and gmat put you over the edge for m10-15 imo

like

Do you have a burner by any chance?

You’ll get into most M7s, the gmat is high and race is a plus. Also, apply through the consortium - you sound like you could get a full ride at some top 15 schools with the right story.

If you’re Hispanic with a 730 you should be getting into multiple M7s.

ECs are weak, took courses on my own to try to jump into my target industry before the MBA. Recently started my own free, public website for market research (totally linear with end career goal).
Type of work - Tax service line, considered an expert on a small amount of tax knowledge, dead end career path
Race - Latino, 1st gen American

Just scored 700 on my GMAT and I feel like a bag of crap. For reference, I put in 300+hrs into my studying, which is overkill but the course I signed up for took this long.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?

I’m interviewing with a startup and the range has a 40k difference from the lowest to highest point. It’s also pre-seed and comes with equity, and health, 401k benefits. It’s a director of sales role so I would eventually be recruiting and managing a team along with building the processes and strategy. What would you consider a fair compensation package? If they offer me something on the lower end of the range, is it still appropriate to counter with an offer that is over their stated range?

During my interview process I clearly stated my salary expectations of 95k-105k. They came back with an offer at 80k.

Should I accept the offer from company A, continue interview process with company B and then rescind my offer with company A if company B offers me a job? Will I be burning bridges?

Hi all,
Been doing privacy for about a year now in-house. Got my CIPP/US.
Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.
