These are stupid questions. The answer is that it depends. How strong were your academics? How much leadership did you display? Where was the experience? Which office are you applying for?

A lot lower than for someone who has that profile and goes and gets an M7 MBA

Probably pretty low considering how often people from firms like EY pay over 200k for b school, while taking 2 years off from the workforce, just to get a good shot at level 2 positions at MBB (after they’ve often been working long enough to be third or 4 level).

In any case, take your shot, you’re not losing anything by trying.

I thought I could push through how boring it is but nah, not really. Happy I made this choice because it’s a big client but not sure I can do it for long. How long would you give it before quitting? I’m really trying to make the switch to experiential/PR so any help/lead on agencies is appreciated 😶

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>
