So much of this process is comparison torture. You see people with similar stats getting invites from schools you haven’t heard from. It’s hard not to interpret silence as judgment. How did you stop reading tea leaves from other applicants?

Has anyone ever posted a general marketing position? We have an open position on our marketing team but we are unsure what type of position to offer. We have a wide variety of needs but don’t necessarily need to have this future person have all these skills. For example we need someone with great copywriting skills and also need someone who is great at digital marketing. This person doesn’t necessarily need to have both skills but if they did great, but if only one, great too.

Can anyone confirm my understanding of a partial Section 121 Exclusion? I bought a house 8 months ago and I am unexpectedly relocating to another city for work. The house is worth about $50k more than when I bought it. My understanding is my unexpected relocation is considered a hardship which qualifies me for a prorated Section 121 exclusion. 8 months out of the required 24 (8/24) = 33%. 33% of $250k = $82.5k excludable gains. This means I should end up without a tax liability, right?

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
