Hi fishes,

Don't have the financial stability to take a loan for an MBA and hence had to drop some renouned admits this year ( Think top IIM's) due to family circumstances.

2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate level
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews

Not like I’m slacking or anything. I’m still continuing to work my ass off. Should I do something?

I can't handle it anymore & i don't think I'll be able to roll off.
