Why do people put "MBA" after their name? It is not a designation or certification. What's the difference between putting "MBA" after your name and putting "BA" or "BS"? Nobody lists that they've completed undergrad after their name, but all of a sudden, MBA deserves to be put after your name?

Hello folks,

Need some advice on the following situation I am currently in:
I have an offer from PwC India and will likely get one from EY India also (similar ctc). At the same time, Cognizant is willing to match these offers. The only difference is I will be a consultant at Cognizant and a senior associate at PwC.
I understand wlb will be screwed at either of those big 4 and clients will be India based.
Which of these should I choose?

I live in downtown Manhattan near the stock exchange and hoping to give by the 24th. Thanks!

Incoming MBA, I have my tuition paid for and rent covered (I will be an RA). So the only thing I need to pay for is food and entertainment. Do you think 20k is enough to last me through the 2 years?
