When should I start worrying about applying to b-school? I wouldn't be actually applying for a couple of years but don't know if I should be spending time GMAT studying and possibly networking for it.

Hi Everyone,
Currently I am looking to make a career change into the real estate industry, specifically commercial real estate. However, LinkedIn messages have failed to successfully get me an interview to talk with someone from this field. Does anyone have experience/insight on how I could better make connections with people in this field?

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

I want some advice, i’ve taken interest at BNSF Railway. I was wondering if y’all have any advice for me as i’m applying for an accounting/finance internship with them for the summer of next year. :(

Hi Guys,
After clearing written test in Accenture ,HR is not scheduling interview for long time. Can anyone help in this if there is any openings in your team/project ?

Thinking about jumping in with Berkeley's flex option for the evening / weekend MBA.

Thoughts?

I currently have my EAD based on my OPT with an addition 2 year renewal. I have also submitted a marriage based GC application in Nov 2021, did my biometrics currently waiting on my interview. I have an offer from a tech company and want to leave my current employer. I am worried if I tell my upcoming employer about being currently on OPT they will freak out and take back their offer even doh I can work and don’t need their sponsorship.

Do I have to tell ? Has anyone experience this before?

What level of sponsorship have you received from your employer for your EMBA/Executive Education?

I cleared all my rounds of interview in JPMC, had salary discussion with HR 2 weeks back. After which i was asked to apply the job on candidate portal and submit additional information.

Its almost 2 weeks and i haven't heard back anything from them. My status in portal shows "You are moving to the final steps in the process". This status has not changed since last 2 weeks.

Can i expect the offer letter to be released? If yes when?

Have interviewed big 4 company and got a offer around 25% bump and expecting better assignments than current firm. The partner in my practice reached out and is doing everything he can to make me stay

If a senior partner referred me, and I still haven't heard back after 4 weeks, what could be the reason as to the delay? Am I not getting an interview?

Anyone heard Quantic School Of Technology?

Had an interview yesterday and the interviewer wanted to understand what I did - even 1 month gap between jobs - from 2009 to present 🤪 Not interested in the job anymore tbh

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

It’s so fucking hard to make friends in SF.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get a made to measure suit in Dubai? Would need to keep prices below 5k for a 2 piece.

Currently being recruited for Alvarez & Marsal (Dubai or Riyadh). I’ve checked with my irl network and no one has worked with them before. Anyone here working with or for them who wouldn’t mind answering a few questions related to my proposed function; Strategy & Implementation?

healthcare promotion from EM to SM in your firm? trying to calibrate expectations....

EY application has turned to “We'd like to progress you to the next step in our recruiting process”. How soon does communication begin and typically how long is the process?

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

AZ: next batch of Maricopa ballots 55% or less for Trump
NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.

Why do some people get laid off and others not? Is it always utilization? Do people typically know they're at risk before it gets to that point?

How is utilization calculated? What happens if we are on the bench?

My friends and I are paying into our fantasy league now, and putting it in an investment, rather than doing straight cash. Winner take all at end of the next fantasy season. What would you put this in? I don't care if we lose it, I'm looking high risk high reward, probably crypto.

So I’m only contributing to 401k enough to get employer match, and I’m saving an additional ~20% and putting 90% of that into my vanguard mutual funds. Reasoning is that I don’t want to lock away all that money maxing out 401k. Have 3 months expenses liquid in a savings account. Is this really dumb? Essentially trading tax for the option of actually using my money.

Last night I was asked why I left PwC by PwC folks and I responded "because PwC is shit". 🤦🏾‍♀️ And that was before any alcohol touched my lips. Anyone else have awkward dinner convo stories?

How do I say to my counselor, "be prepared to see a big fall of my utilization because of things out of my control" without sounding like complaining or having a lot of negativity?

I now how to give them high level guidance on how to ensure their branding and message is consistent. Any resources/books you’d recommend I could crash course this on?

How do I not get jealous? Of my friends from college got pulled from ey to EYP with only 1 yoe. Got promoted and now about to make 170k with 2 yoe total. She’s on an internal role and just does pmo and works maybe 930-5? All due to the fact a partner she was working with on an event said I like you, join my team. I’m making half of that and we studied the same thing and went to the same uni

I make $4000/M after taxes and max 401K and spend about $2400 for all fixed costs (rent, utilities, etc). With roughly $1600 left, and with a strong goal of saving as much as I can, what are some recommendations on how I should allocate my money better. I know this is vague but need some better financial planning.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA
