Why is a masters degree so desirable? I know a lot of people with masters. They have no common sense or real world experience. I tutor a few masters students so I’ve done the work. Just haven’t done it myself.

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

Thoughts?

I’m an experienced candidate who recently got an interview at BCG. Assume I’m not successful and I were to go for a one-year MBA starting in the fall, will I get an interview even if I don’t do the GMAT? I heard MBBs like the GMAT for MBA candidates, but if I can get the interview without the MBA, will the gmat make a difference while I’m in the MBA?

Hi all,
Can someone pls explain and give numbers for the cost of living and salary for a fresher with 2 years experience in design (other fields eg.s also welcome) in US, UK and India. I understand the figures would depend on the city but I'm looking for average. I plan to use this info to decide and plan for my masters abroad in terms of breakeven, etc.
Thank you

Graduated 3.4 UGPA in engineering and economics from a non-target school. 3 Years experience. If I am aiming for M7 how much of a stretch is that and what kind of GMAT score?

I just signed up for a class that lets me write my own objectives and goals, work on them all summer, log my hours and share my successes and I get ACT48 hours and graduate credits! I can’t believe it- I figure I was going to do the work anyway- so why not get something out of it… first time I’ve been excited about doing work over the summer! 🎉

Hey fishes

- Do we have any other good alternatives?

Any designers here experienced with the Masters program at UWash? Looking for testimonials since it's the most expensive option on my list right now (I do have cheaper options, considering all tho)

Hi fishes,

I am a strategy consulting enthusiast from a middle class family. Don't have the financial stability to take a loan for an MBA and hence had to drop some renouned admits this year (Think top IIM's) due to family circumstances. I still dream big and request you to provide some insights for my research:-
1) Average expected package of an associate
2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate (not BCN)
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews

Hello, I was in a verbally abusive college relationship and struggled with mental health. Therefore, my gpa suffered greatly (2.9). However, I now have a good job and am doing very well. Should I explain the reason for my low GPA in my MBA app? I’m applying to LBS, Booth, Stanford, UCLA, UCB etc.

Which law school has the best professorship?

Trying to figure out which is better - thoughts?

Also I I had a 4.0 for my masters but a 2.9 for my Bachelors - I actually applied to L.E.K. with 3.3 with my Bachelors by mistake (didn't think they cared) - Thoughts on how to bring it up to them/is it worth.

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?
My clients are pushing back on it this year, and I can't say I blame them. If I were in their shoes, I'd rather take the risk of not filing than the expense of filing again. From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.

I’m in FDD… I know I signed up for this but there’s something about the anxiety that comes on a Friday knowing that we still didn’t get access to VDR .. and how that anxiety grows as you enter the long weekend knowing that access can happen at any minute (or not) and you have to tippy-toe on the idea of potentially cancelling on your memorial weekend plans. I know the unpredictability of our job but phew 😮‍💨

I am a lead 3D designer in Kansas I was curious what I could be looking at for pay

Hello i am negotiating a job offer in Toronto at the moment. I currently live in Montréal. What’s a reasonable salary for someone with 9 years experience in Toronto working for an international consultancy. Thanks!

I love my job and the people I work with, but lately I've been feeling like everyone else has more flexibility in their schedules than I do. How do you find time for yourself when there's so many meetings?

Any professional engineers turned professors here? What drove you to make that switch and did it work out how you thought it would?

What is one piece of advice you would give someone considering engineering?

How many different employers does an average engineer end up working for in their lifetime?

I'm new to the field. Everyone seems extremely stressed and overworked. Am I seeing the worst of it, or is that the norm?

I've noticed that my coworkers tend to work more on their own than with others, even when they're all in the office. Is this normal? I feel like it would be helpful for everyone to talk about their projects more often—I mean, what if someone else has solved the same problem you're trying to solve already?

I'm an engineer, and I feel like my manager is more of a friend than anything else. We talk about our personal lives, and I feel like it's hard to be completely honest with her when she's so casual with me. I don't want to lose our friendship, but I also need to be able to talk honestly with someone who has the power to help me grow professionally. Is there a way to have both?

I just got a new job, but it's not what I expected. I was expecting a career opportunity and a chance to learn and grow in my field, but instead I'm stuck doing the same thing as before, just from home.

People who work in any engineering capacity are usually very hardworking but it's not just because we have to be, it's also that we find this stuff really fascinating, kind of like a book you can't put down

My kids were really upset with me when I told them that my job as an engineer did not mean that I drove trains for a living

What’s your current goal as an engineer? I’d love to one day work as part of a Formula 1 design team

I am a mechanical engineer and people think that because I am a "mechanical" engineer like I fix cars. It is part of the career, but it is not the same thing. It happens to others that people confuse your profession, or it's only to me?

What is the most useful technical or soft skills for any mechanical engineer to have where you work? I’m curious to know what really matters for everyone and what makes a big impact on the team and business.

Specifics if you can; CAD tools, simulation, CAD speed or proficiency, industry or standards knowledge, GD&T, certifications, Microsoft Excel, presentation skills, technical writing, project management, self organization, great communication, teaching ability, relationship building, etc.

What are some locations with the highest demands for engineers?

I'm really having a difficult time understanding how engineering is supposed to be really competitive, most of the projects I've worked on were in groups and there wasn't usually a clear "leader," we were just on a team

I currently working as project coordinator (on-site) for 3 months 10hrs everyday with package $75k, I want to move to remote or hybrid work but I only have 8 months of experience from my previous employer and I have completed my master's in construction management in 2021. Should I stay in my role a bit longer to gain experience or I am not able to find remote or hybrid matching my profile. Your advice and comments are much appreciated.

What advice would you give a student who wants to enter engineering but doesn’t cope with stress all that well?
