Ah gotcha. I was waitlisted at H last year and currently at W. It sucks, but there’s definitely hope. Best advice is to follow the school’s directions on communications. Most don’t want to hear anything else from you and really it’s just a waiting game as they fill their class. Do you have other offers at this point?

After a Wharton?

Yes I do thankfully! Thanks for the empathy. Appreciate it!

Make another visit. See if anyone at your network is an active alum who is willing to write in for you. Reinforce that you’d go if admitted.

There are two camps with waitlists, but regardless of wait vs actively pursue, make sure they know you’re absolutely committed.

Hi all,
Recently gone through ICICI bank debt manager DSMG interview, HR told will provide non industry matching hike because my last switch was just 6 months ago. What should be the expected CTC? Currently working as collection manager at HDB financial services Ltd, CTC-5.1, Work exp-4.9Y.

I have been at the current hospital I work at in administration for about 11 years now. I am treated great, love the people and love the hours. They allow me to really create my own schedule based on my needs and have taken great care of me over the past 11 years. The only problem is that our CEO has stated that we will never be a company that gives yearly raises, merit based or cost of living. I have been offered another job with a competing hospital but scared to leave. Advise?
