The speed that all HBS zoom invites were filled.. damn thought it was going to be the other way around (filled fast for on-campus)

Just me here hoping that slack never adds the “read” notification on messages.

Can’t tell if I’m developing crushes on my coworkers only because they’re the only people I interact with (on zoom) in quarantine 😬

Hi! Anyone successfully use Zoom or Teams to record interviews that will get spliced with other footage? Any best practices or pitfalls to avoid?

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

How are you teaching middle or high school chorus in the fully virtual realm? I’m looking for new ideas and techniques. I hate that my choirs can only sing on Zoom with everyone muted...that’s the opposite of choral singing :-(

At what point do you disconnect from Slack? Do you feel guilty if you take the night off completely?

Looking to put $5K in the market. Which ones would you buy? Lululemon, delta airlines, Peleton, docusign, Zoom, etsy. Any that I’ve missed and should consider? Already have MSFT, BRKB, NVDA, BABA and multiple broad ETFs

Tips for helping kids stay on task during zoom? Our little class (9 kids) has been doing zoom circle times twice a week but I noticed they are really distracted. Also every meeting a kid leave...

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Is Integration Engineer position at Zoom worth joining coming from Software Engineer position?

Hi! Can someone recommend a source for learning how do simple, fun music lessons on Zoom? I teach first grade and use music for my transitions. I would also like to play songs for them with my guitar, but am concerned it won’t sound good on zoom (the guitar, not my voice, which is bad, we established that long ago)

So you are interested in collaborating? I have been teaching Avid since 2006-ish. Any suggestions on how to transition to distance learning on Microsoft Teams? How does that look in Avid?

IBM started to drop the mail for join Slack etc. and the mail for laptop request for new hire .

What if I don't join on the last day or deny to join on last day ? Because still need to decide between two offers .

Heads up. The Bar just emailed out invitations for two free online CLEs in the first week of may. I've been doing these Zoom courses as they are offered and it's going to significantly reduce my end of the year stress.

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

I just heard recently that if you refinance and your house appraises at 20% more than the amount owed, you can remove PMI. Is this correct? Getting a divorce and trying to keep the house but moving from a VA to a traditional loan and would rather not pay PMI if I don’t have to. House was purchased for $460k no money down (VA loan), refinanced at $450k to lower payments $400/month, now have $430k left on the loan... would it have to appraise for $516k?

Is the salary hike percentage solely based on Rank/rating ? Will there be any consideration for the qualification ?

I was informed today that my employment would be terminated at a tier-2 consulting firm in Toronto. The reasons for my dismissal are unclear and I would like to get legal advice on the termination agreement and severance package that was offered. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can refer a good employment lawyer?

This bowl is rockin'

How does getting a letter of recommendation work? Are there specific prompts they should follow? How long should they be? Are we, the candidate, allowed to see them before they go out? Thanks!

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.
The number of the alumni and current students that go to top consulting firms FT& summer intern are countless even for a small class size.
Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

Graduated 3.4 UGPA in engineering and economics from a non-target school. 3 Years experience. If I am aiming for M7 how much of a stretch is that and what kind of GMAT score?

I am a working mom and am hell bent on pursuing my MBA. Any advices on the prep for GMAT? Or would GRE better suit my scenario than the GMAT? Appreciate your responses!

Is the ETS GRE-GMAT converter accurate? My GMAT is above medians everywhere but I don’t know how much it matters.

Any recs for insightful and well written books on entrepreneurship? Friend is trying to launch his own startup so I’m thinking of sending him a relevant book as part of a thank you gift

So I was supposed to have an in person interview. Right before the interview I noticed that The interviewer rejected the invite she sent me - I emailed to ask but no reply. I went anyway and am just waiting for her to show up... but she isn't showing up... what should I do lol

Hi Everyone, doing research on evening MBA programs in the DC area. Appreciate any insight on any of the programs, especially if they have a data analytics specialization.

Let’s talk finances. How are you all paying for this? Loans, I assume, but any strategies?
In early 2021, better to try to max out retirement accounts to maximize financial aid or to just start saving?

Reading the HBS thread has me worried for applying next year. It seems like for an Asian male even a 3.8+ and 750+ with MBB/BB IB/PE experience doesn’t even get an interview? Is the bar even higher than last year?

Anyone have updates on the HBS R2 process? Other schools have released dates for interview invites; haven’t seen anything come across for HBS beyond the “early Feb” mention a few weeks ago.

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs

Hey! Anyone here work with Admit Advantage? I’ve searched the bowl and can’t find any previous posts. Met Erik last week and he gave me the best advice (of all the admissions consultants I’ve spoken too).
