Which looks better:

1) tier 1 undergrad, mediocre work experience after college
2) average undergrad, equally mediocre work experience after college

Would adcoms view (1) unfavorably since they could have landed a good role after college but didnt?

I know everyone has their reasons for picking certain roles, but trying to understand how adcoms will view it especially if theres no obvious explanation e.g. going to no-name IB or consulting after college, audit, etc

I never understand these questions because it’s not like you can change your UG school now unless you’re 17

Then try harder and get a good job instead of assuming you’re gonna get a mediocre job.

And stop making decisions based solely on mba admissions.

A/B testing is flatly impossible in MBA admissions. Every variable touches multiple other variables.

UG matters more when you’re young, less as you build experience. The gunners on this app will warp your perspective of “mediocre” work experience. Most people work in SMEs that no one has ever heard of.

PERM question.

Hi everyone I work at EY and have 3 YOE. EY started the perm process after 2.5 years, the role is for manager. It is standard that managers have 5 years of experience, does this mean that the green card will only be available in 2 years from now when you typically make manager (maybe 1 if early promoted)? From my understanding I have another 6 months with the PWD, Recruitment and then filing items, so it will be ready relatively soon. Just trying to make heads or tails of it.

Question/Advice. I’m currently working as a Pre-Access/Biller for a worker’s comp role with a 3rd party company handling 2 major hospital accounts. I feel severely underpaid as I work claims, pre-auths, follow-up, AR, RTW/atty req/med req/c9 req/approvals, etc. for the WC revenue cycle. Interested in hearing others salaries for the role? Or roundabout? OR WC salaries in general. Also, what’s the next upward career move after working a role as this? Thank you! (I work remotely if this helps)

I’m interviewing with the company although I have offer signed with another (going though background checks, so didn’t wanna stop before knowing 100%). Really love the process and the team, but unless something goes sideways with signed offer won’t be joining them. I have a colleague who is probably even better fit for the position, I know that she will enjoy the team too and would be happy for a chance to interview with them. How do I approach this?

Currently I work for a mid-sized InsureTech that’s had 2 rounds of layoffs in the past 6 months. Salary is 100k, with no defined bonus. I have close to 4 years of PO experience. I am debating whether I want to leave since my boss is very chill and I have amazing WLB. Benefits are eh. 15 PTO days and healthcare premiums are okay. Should I jump ship? What could I be making at a bigger company? What types of companies are most stable right now?
