If you're recruiting for internships and secure one let me offer that you can take nothing for granted. I got demolished during my MBB internship and was way too late in asking for help because I didn't know how to and everyone acted like an internship was a de facto full time offer.

OP we have non grade disclosure so can't reveal grades. Where you headed ?

MBB offer summer workshops and networking events pre MBA. Attend these and don't act like a jackass.

Join the student body and any public speaking extra curriculars you can. Network as much as possible, whenever and wherever.

Where are you going

Georgetown, evening program so can't do internships

They all recruit there so I'm hoping for the best

Hello fishes, I have offers from two different companies and both are offering same amount of CTC - 18LPA (YOE: 3.2) . Company names are Pristyn Care and Xiaomi technology india pvt. ltd .

I think I’m doing great, but that depends on the day and who I work with (no other writers by the way).

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.

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.
