Super amatuer question so I apologize for it! Thinking about applying to business school this year and strategizing round 1 and 2 applications. If you apply to schools in round 1 and are accepted, do you have enough time to hear back from round 2 schools before you have to respond? If no I guess that suggests you should apply to all your "reach" schools in round 1? Thanks 🐠 fam!

Depends, you should apply to your top choices round 1 and safety schools round 2. When you don’t get into either you of those, apply to Ross round 3

I got into my reach school (an M7) in R1 and that motivated me to apply to HBS in R2, so there was definitely time to wait for the process before the deadline otherwise I wouldn't have done it.

As you can determine by my firm, I did not get into HBS 😂

Every school is different. But they all list application and notification dates.

Typically, you receive answers before round 2 deadlines.

Round 1 decisions are released in early to mid Dec with a Feb response deadline. You wouldn’t hear back from Round 2 until March. Agree with applying to reach schools in R1.

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.

Just a thought, perhaps the admin can pin two threads:

2) Would you change jobs / interview while pregnant?

Both of these questions come up almost on a daily basis, we should have a centralized thread to help each other out. :)

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
