Just get a good GMAT score and figure out who can write some amazing reference letters. Aside from that no one will really know what you did at Deloitte.

Network with SMs / PPMDs who attended the b school you want to go to. Use Dnet to do that. Then nail the GMAT and develop a personality, and you’ll be off to the Golden Arches my beautiful child.

PwC1 - Do you consider a good GMAT score breaking the 700?

700 will get you into a 15-25 ranked school unless you have a unique background. I knew one person with a mid 600 that went to Booth for instance, but not common. 760 is what you want for M7.

Just received 2 offers that I’m weighing, both in Advertising tech:

2. FAANG, Sales Account Manager role (similar to my current role)
I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!

Hi Fishes,
I have an experience of 6 years in Production and Application Support. I have worked as middleware administrator as well for Jboss and Weblogic.
But due to the diminishing demands of the role in IT industry , I am planning to switch my career in Devops or AWS which would help me grow.
But I am not sure without any practical knowledge, will I get a job at this many years of experience in a different profile.
Do companies hire for AWS profiles with good packages at beginners level?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
