Any advice (besides good GMAT) on how to get into a top MBA post consulting? Im a public sector consultant.

740 GMAT, 3.5 GPA at a top 30 US undergrad. I’m a gay white male applying to several M7s… wondering if it is worthwhile to apply to Wharton and Booth? I feel like my story is average (manager at Accenture), and I’m eyeing schools where I would be competitive for scholarship.

How does everyone in this bowl feel towards master’s degrees in data science/analytics? I didn’t study this in undergrad so I’m looking to get an analytics degree but I’ve heard mixed reviews.

Good morning all I hope all is well. Just wanted to pick your brains with a question. Cloud Engineer Bootcamp vs Self Study for Certifications vs Getting a Masters in Cloud Computing. Say the person is currently a Help Desk Support staff.

Say the focus is AWS and the individual has a Bachelor's in Computer Science. Which do you recommend that they go into now?

Help me ask for a raise in my upcoming performance review? In sum, my company’s HQ is in Texas and I feel I’m being paid a Texas wage when I live in Los Angeles (the role is remote). We do have a San Francisco office and I want to ask my boss to match me what staff are making there. As that’s more comparable. Based off of Glassdoor, my salary matches Texas’s exactly and SF has the same role at 10k more. Should I show him the Glassdoor page? Don’t want to come off too strong. Please advise

How does this work? I desperately need an accountability partner

Hi everyone 👋

Searching for a study buddy for the next 5 weeks (or more) to help me stay on track as I build up my study habits 🤓

I'm studying for the CFA and aiming for an efficient 1.5 hours on weekdays and 3 hours on weekends. Looking for frequent but quick check-ins (e.g. report updates daily or every other day).

Let's get this done and make new friends along the way!

Really need an accountability partner for a few things below:
1. Wake up at 5:30
2. Exercise everyday for at least a half hour
3. Eat more home-made balanced & nutritious meals & less takeout
4. Lose 8lbs
5. Meditate or journal every day

Current weight - 121lbs.
Desired weight - 112(like always)
Mood - tired & grumpy during the day cos of no sleep, bad sleep, bad food choices
Focus & productivity - absolutely failing cos of the above
EST

Anyone interested? I can support you in your goals.

Welcome! The purpose of this bowl is simple: keep posters accountable for the tasks they would like to have completed.

Step 1: Create a post regarding a goal you want to accomplish. Make it as (non)descriptive as you desire.
Step 2: Provide weekly update regarding the goal until it’s completed.

All incomplete posts with no update in 2 weeks will be removed.

Hi All, this probably sounds extremely dumb but need someone to keep me accountable to be very productive (I have trouble waking up and focusing). Anyone sailing the same boat?

Need to lose 5 lbs every month for the next 10 months.

Goal is to
- gain muscle on arms, chest, & thighs
- lose fat on belly, chest, & face

Plan is to
- Eat clean (more often than in the past).
- Exercise 10/15 mins after wake up
- Keep metabolism up during the day

This week’s metrics:
- Weight: 250.6 lbs
- Biceps: 15.5”
- Waist: 44”
- Face/cheek diameter: 23.5”

Need someone to keep me accountable.

I want to lose 20 pounds (starting at 165). I did really good for the month of July but now I’m losing steam. Any suggestions?

I plan to start waking up at 5am to workout everyday M-F. Would love someone to check in with at that time to confirm I followed through. And am happy to check in with them whenever they plan to exercise as well!
