Thinking about joining an internal expert track in project management more or less, what are the pitfalls of joining them instead of strategy or other tracks? People seem to be smart and nice, other groups are quite similar but wondering if this move is detrimental. Thanks!

I think it depends what you try to be. To me there are two types of project managers, ones that track status and report on status and ones that actively engage with teams and understand dynamics.

The lather ones are the types that have the ability to look around the corner and forecast hiccups and understand potential blockers from undercurrents between stakeholders. These type of managers to me are invaluable and are people that will grow to do amazing things.

However if you are just there to learn how to make a pptx with status updates and create a RAG excel sheet I think it’s not really worth it.

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri).

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!
