You intend to work in HK or Asia?

Hkust is a good choice then. I would say INSEAD and NUS are great for the region as well

I am a Senior Technical Advisor who has been working in the oil field since 2013. I have a bachelor’s in Electronics Engineering Technology and would like to transition into Tech with a good starting salary; preferably at least $150,000. I’m leaning towards getting my PMP and searching for a project management position. I’d like some suggestions for going this route or any other positions that may be a good fit for me based on my resume. Any experienced input would be greatly appreciated!

Hi all,
I'm graduating this fall with a B.A. in political science. I take the LSAT Nov. 12th and have a mentor helping me to apply to law school for the Fall 2022 cycle. If it matters my GPA is a 3.5 (possibly 3.6). I'm quickly realizing that I need a job in the meantime (starting January). I'm based in Boston and New York but if the position is lucrative enough I'm willing to relocate. Any high paying but temporary roles that anyone would reccomend?

But of course, it's all fake and payed 😂 turns out she wanted me to go there (even though I don't work for that TV network) so she's sure she'll be paid at the end of the show. Wth did I just do.
