So I’m going to be on a silent retreat (no phones / tech) for a week. Halfway through is when I’ll be notified if I get accepted to Sloan. Should I change my VM saying I’m out of service for the week, so that if I get the call, they know why I’m not answering / calling back? Does it matter? I know they won’t rescind the offer but I also don’t want to leave a bad taste in their mouth. THOUGHTS PLS FISHIES

The whole application process is narcissistic and toxic. I was at peak narcissism throughout the process. The truth is that many students come from wealth, and have more resources than others. I went to the Wharton interview, and there was a girl there who had clearly been prepped by a professional communication coach. Just try your best, don’t overthink and leave the rest to God.

Hi, I have recently got the offer from HCL Technologies, they are offering only 7LPA and I have a counter offer in Cognizant, they offering me 8.8 LPA.

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE.
