Trying to move to research role at a nonprofit and after 3 interviews and 1 take home project, final round is “a walkthrough of the project” with the research director. What to expect/how to prepare?

You didn't ask this but think long and hard before accepting an offer at a nonprofit. You may rather be a consultant and influential donor than someone on the inside. There is often high burnout at nonprofits because people join for altruistic reasons only to find poor performance/operations that leadership doesn't want to fix plus a lower salary.

Great points D1 but given my goal of pursuing a dual MPP-MBA, one year at a well-respected firm doing research in a rapidly growing tool to tackle poverty, after a year in consulting/data analytics, might make me a stronger candidate. Would appreciate your feedback if you know about MPP-MBA dual programs!

If anyone is interested in a referral code for a Chase Sapphire Preferred card go ahead and comment so I can dm the link.

Great card for travel, points come fast and great perks for travel.

I'm 6 months old at D! Planning early promotion next year.. counselor and pm both are backing me.. I need to go to India for at least 4 weeks in Dec ... most probably would be rolling off from current project by then .. would this vacation hurt my promotion chances coz of utilization etc?

I'm a brand new attorney (passed the Feb 2021 bar) who started an in-house counsel position a few months ago (where my focus is negotiating agreements for the sale of my company's software). I was a contracts manager on an in-house team for 4 years prior, which is why I was able to go straight in-house. I'm entirely skipping out on firm life, which feels both good and bad. Is there anything I should think about getting experience in? How should I go about making sure I am seeing enough things?
