Those who applied to Sloan, how rigidly did you stick to the 300 word limit. Did you feel comfortable applying the +10% rule?

Rigid. I was told to stick to the letter for their application.

FYI - I am a current student and this was feedback from when I applied last year.

Yeah I think best practice is to follow word limits exactly as they are laid out. Don’t give adcoms any extra reasons to ding your application

Usually for my other applications I was told plus/minus 10% is ok…
But yeah the Sloan wording was very direct

I just watched an admissions webinar where they said if you go a little over it’s fine

Anyone recently join Guidehouse as an experienced hire Manager? I have an interview coming up and am curious what kind of salary/benefits package i should expect. TIA!

Interviewed for a sr. PM last Thursday. Was scheduled for 30min but we went to an hour and had a really good conversation. The questions I got asked I was told the answers were perfect by the hiring manager. I felt really good coming out of it but then followed up with an email thanking them for the time the next day and I never received a response or next steps. Am I thinking too much into it or is it not a good sign?

I have another one week to go to join EY GDS. But I haven't got tagged any counselor yet, and no onboarding procedure intimation. The HR with whome I used to talk during interview, is not picking up the call. What is happening? It feels like I didn't get the offer. Very bad.

Any techniques or ways to get a job abroad directly?

Dear Amdocs Hiring Team, Thanks for the worst experience.

When I asked the reason, you are clueless till now what to say? You guys even don't have enough courage to respond my calls. #Amdocs #Hiring
