Hi All,

Can anyone suggest some companies which provide summer interships for MBA students (Analytics)? Some of my juniors are asking me about this and i am totally clueless.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

What are your thoughts about putting an explanation for the current gap (as in, I haven’t been working for several months) on your resume, LinkedIn profile or cover letter? If you think it should be included in one of these places, how would you do it?

If planning to buy my first home in next 1-2 years, what should I be doing now leading up to the purchase e.g. things to boost credit score?

I am brand new to the process and keep hearing conflicting reports. Should I be waiting out the market? Or is this the perfect time to buy if you can? I don't trust all these realty sites telling me I should buy now.

I am a 2nd year associate at a plaintiff’s firm specializing in toxic tort cases (individual). I’ve had the opportunity to be third chair on a trial, and will likely be second chair in an upcoming trial. However, given the track record of the firm and the amount of money at stake in each case, I am afraid I won’t get any first chair experience, if any, for at least another 5-7 years. I am considering staying at the firm but trying to get trial experience through side Pro Bono work. Thoughts?

I am a 42 year old and keep getting told I need to move to less risky investments (bonds) as I age and near retirement (say at 62). I understand the situation but think it is a little too early. My logic is that even in retirement, I will need to grow my money and assuming I live till 82, it is too early to back off riskier options (stocks - not speculation). Maybe at 55 I can see that but 42 is too early. What do (similar aged) folks on this board think?

How do you all split your 401k contributions between pre-tax and tax deferred (pre-pay tax) contributions?

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate. However, their version of refinancing student loans has changed in the last couple years so now they offer you a personal line of credit. Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?

Any tips on negotiating apartment renewals for large buildings? Just got a renewal offer for my 2BR apartment… it’s 20% higher than my current. I can afford it but damn that would be a bummer

Just a discussion thread, but I feel like this is a good bowl to ask this. Does anyone else look at the vast majority of folks around you and think “damn, we are so over leveraged as a society?” Or am I just crazy?

Advice & resources? My spouse and I are starting to make good money (ages 28 & 31, $105k & $70k) with $10k in savings (we were hit hard financially this year) and 2 car payments.
