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!

Our district is so lax on the students this year. With tech issues and distance learning days, we’ve gone from accommodating to enabling real quick.

Is anyone else concerned about how to raise the expectations and students’ self-discipline back to pre-enabling levels?

Hi Team,

TCS has released the offer letter for me & my doj is on 30th Jan which I chose. My current employer is ready to release me early and my lwd is 30th November.

I am confused whether I should join on 30th Jan or I should talk to HR for early joining. Also, there are rumours that Indian MNCs are cancelling offer letters due to recession and hence I am scared as I don't have any other offer in hand
