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!

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

I have put down the papers from infosys and my LWD is near . I have to choose between DXC with 22 LPA and TCS with 18 LPA . I am a mainframe developer with 11 years of experience.
I have asked TCS to revise the salary but that seems unlikely that they will match the difference.
