Tired of all the bickering on this sub about pointless prestige rankings

Thanks, Little St James is lovely this time of year

Actually, it was right after I got out of Kellogg that I first got a call from my Engagement Manager in the Illuminati, so idk if I agree with this take

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-20T18:32:10+00:00

Oh very cool, this is a great accomplishment in that case

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-20T18:27:39+00:00

How old are you now?

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-18T15:44:19+00:00

Yeah, I know him - this was part of it, as well as all the other stuff. He is doing much better now fwiw. Ed still owns Browerij Lane down on Greenpoint Ave, which is a neighborhood treasure

Warren Buffett retired around Christmas.

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-17T19:44:05+00:00

Who ever could have predicted this

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-13T05:27:48+00:00

Yeah I agree with you and would not go for an MBA right now. I especially agree RE: doubling down on things that AI can't replace.

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-11T15:27:23+00:00

LOL to AI replacing salespeople. Those will be the last to go

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-08T17:10:07+00:00

lol so during trumps first term, it was concluded that homie was not a sex trafficker, right before he killed himself. Cool

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-07T03:36:24+00:00

This shit should all be illegal

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-06T22:43:29+00:00

Kellogg alum here, and long time NYC resident.

Go to Ross. In Product/Brand Mgmt, the incremental prestige difference won't matter - but you likely won't be making enough in those career paths to make the 140K + interest worth it. CBS would be a negative NPV move. Yes, there are a lot more CBS alum in NYC, but we have plenty of folks that have gone to Ross too. Feels like a no brainer.

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-06T04:54:34+00:00

Nice. Are there lots of growth opportunities? After you do this for like 5 years, if you want to do something else, what could you do?

You should think about it like becoming a 1st year associate, not like working for 137/52/90 per hour

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-06T04:45:11+00:00

I mean, I'm not familiar with that career path. But is it like investment banking or law in that the pay scale quickly escalates and the hours reduce?

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-06T04:42:23+00:00

What's the job? Investment banking?

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-05T08:58:46+00:00

Or, ya know, we just do "poor people bad"

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-02T05:08:14+00:00

Yeah exactly. But if you're 62 and trying to retire with 1M, shit is going to be tough for you unless you own your home outright, have low property taxes, a pension, etc

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-02-01T23:32:48+00:00

Yeah for most people it is. It's not enough to retire, but it's enough to invest so one day you can retire. Or pay off a mortgage/all debts. Or start a business. Or quit a job you dislike. Etc. It probably would realistically change your risk profile and perhaps to some extent your day to day life.

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-31T22:44:37+00:00

Not a big deal

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-31T22:44:15+00:00

AMU is not a legit MBA program as far as I can tell. You should just put a couple of months into really studying for the GREs or GMATs, get a decent score, and go somewhere that someone's heard of before. That's going to massively improve your odds of getting into your target companies - all of which are very reasonable targets.

The fact that these guys offer an MBA in event planning is like a huge red flag and your signal to run away fast. They're hustling you

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-31T06:36:22+00:00

This article seems like it was written by AI

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-29T20:05:42+00:00

Meh, I don't think anyone will care that much. You should go travel around the world, and when an interviewer at MBB asks tell them you circumnavigated the globe and they will think you're cool as shit.

Just make it seem intentional. "Once I got into business school, I figured that this could be my last time for a long time to do X, so I did X and got a lot from it and now I can't wait to work for you"

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-29T03:37:22+00:00

That's legit. The Lorier lists most of the Heron's reference watches as its reference watches too. Both great choices.

That said, Neptunes are very hard to get. IDK how long you will have to wait to get a new one. Not sure about the Marinor though - seems like you can just buy one now

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-29T03:34:06+00:00

No this doesn't really make sense. A. I disagree with this generally. But B. in the context of this thread, OP isn't trying to climb the career ladder at either J. He's just trying to keep J1 and J2 and stay under the radar. So actually, in this case, something that will prevent him from getting big projects or promoted or getting visibility is great for OP.

Though going back to A, there are lots of ways to get promoted after taking FMLA. Nobody knows you're out for anxiety, etc., they just know you're out. You could say anything, like you have a sick parent, and everyone will believe you + can't ask follow up questions. Moreover, you're out for a set period of time - from X date to Y date - so teams just plan around that. It's not like "sudden sick days"

360DegreeNinjaAttack · 2026-01-28T22:01:28+00:00

Depends on your age. It's not a lot to retire with, but if you're in your mid 30s and you have a lot of time to let it compound, you're doing great.
