What math is needed for GMAT/GRE? I am pretty bad at mental math and other topics. How long would it take to relearn all of math? I majored in Statistics and barely made it out.

Another question - Do I even have a shot getting into T-15? Have a 2 D's (math classes) on my transcript.

It sounds redundant, but the admissions process really is wholistic. 2 D’s in a math class won’t automatically disqualify you, just as a perfect GMAT score won’t assure your acceptance. To offset those D’s, you’ll want to showcase that you do have quant/analytical ability whether that be through taking math courses and doing well in them e.g. MBA Math or by doing well in the quant section or by already being in a job that uses quant/analytical skills

How credible is MBA Math? At my work, I mainly do tech product diligences so not heavy quant.

Should I prep for gre or GMAT?

Right, with my quant being weak, shouldn't I take the GMAT to show I can handle it? I am just concerned that gre is looked differently compared to the GMAT.

I think HBX CORe is more intensive but haven’t done either personally. You could also enroll in a specific statistics course if that’s the one that you got the D’s in - essentially anything that will boost your quant profile

Have only taken the GMAT, so can’t speak for GRE but I’ve heard the math on the GRE is easier

Had a recent job offer from Amazon TC 146 K sign on bonus 42K RSU 508 for a L6 Sr. Program manager based out of Nashville. This is barely more than the amount I make now(actually base is lower than what I make). I’m planning to ask for about 18% more, is that a high number? Does anyone have an idea how much Amazon negotiates? This is for a non tech role so I’m not sure of the exact salary range.

Hi Everyone,

Here is the situation:

Review season is going on in my company and my manager is offering me salary of just below 20LPA.

Now the problem is that he is based out of US and he is dependent on data which Indian HR provides him regarding market salary info.

I had a discussion with him and convinced him to increase this if I provide the data and prove that I am being paid less.

Can someone suggest where I can find the actual data regarding avg salary info for a PM.
