I just interviewed via zoom for JPMorgan Chase for trade support (thinking no more interviews were needed). The next day the recruiter calls me, saying that the team is very interest and went over logistics. She said she was going to talk back to the team and let me know next steps. The next day I get an e-mail requesting an interview again for the role but from the recruiting coordinator. Does JP give offers via zoom? Any similar stories?
Recently Store Managers have been offering me jobs from different locations but same company in my town. The company is T-Mobile. It’s going to be my first job. I have a couple questions for any former/current employees. Is it better to work for T-Mobile, metro by T-Mobile, or a third party T-Mobile? Any difference in benefits or wage? Thanks
I have an offer from Walmart but I'm also interviewing at Meta. I'm midway through the Meta process but there's still a long way to go and I don't want to rush through it unprepared. Both are for a Data Scientist position. Any suggestions on how to deal with a situation like this? Walmart Facebook (Meta)
Deloitte GPS Business Analyst vs Mercer Health Consulting Analyst?
Deloitte's offer is 7K more and in a cheaper area. Equal interest in both jobs, slight preference for Mercer for people + culture. Leaning towards Mercer because I graduate in Dec and can start in Jan vs having to wait until next summer for Deloitte + location (although higher COL)
Concerns:
Exit opportunities
Pigeonhole-ing myself into health consulting / How hard would it be to join Big 4 in a year or two if I don't like it

Not if you’re currently in undergrad.
Not unless you’re a cpa or some biz ops/strategy role
Really depends on what you want to do. It can be useful, but it's an expensive and fairly involved process to go through just because.
I’m about to enter my senior year and am going into consulting. I am interning at Deloitte this summer
Most of the time people get MBAs in their early 20s/30s, and even sometimes in their 40s. Definitely recommend getting some work experience first then deciding if/when getting an MBA works best for you. Best to get it if you really need it for your career and you will get more out of it if you do not get directly after your undergrad. The major plus of getting an MBA isn't the degree but the connections you make while doing it and you probably won't be able to make the most of the experience right now directly after undergrad.
I don't recommend getting an MBA unless and until you've gained some work experience. It's usually there where you realize if you really need one. Most of the time getting an MBA on top of your degree is not what it's all cracked up to be comparing it to the experience you will gain from working.
