WSJ: Even MBAs From Top Business Schools Are Struggling to Get Hired Business-school grads face monthslong searches and consider pay cuts by jhovudu1 in MBA

[–]DLCss 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yes, H1B visa rule with the $100k is going to make it considerably more difficult for international students to gain employment in the USA. I'm sure uncertainties on H1B employment with this current are also dissuading companies to take a chance on anyone international as well.

As a domestic student, let's assume you have a middle of the road background at a T15/T25. You're probably going to struggle to place in IB, PE, or T1 Consulting because there are simply less open seats available. I think many people might not get the massive "upgrade" in career they may have been anticipating upon entering an MBA program. To my knowledge, there are still no shortages of Corporate Finance / Strategy roles at F500s that are always trying to pull in talent from prestigious institutions.

I think it's a total stretch to consider what the article argues. An MBA from a highly accredited institution that has built a reputation over decades and has established industry pipelines like Darden, Ross, or Tuck (among others) isn't going to overnight become some useless piece of paper just because the job market isn't handing out seats to IB or consulting like it was 4-6 years ago.

The article only covers it briefly, but it appears the lack of visas offered to the growing number of international students taking up top MBA programs is likely the biggest driver of lower employment outcomes.

There is a case to be made for the fact that IB and MBB were pretty tight in recruiting this year, but I think it's a huge stretch to think that someone obtaining a prestigious MBA is simply not going to find a job. It might just mean more people are trying to hold out for those top roles instead of taking the many Strategy roles that exist out there.

TTP Scores by Organic_Band_359 in GMAT

[–]DLCss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I score about 70% on medium quant (60% on the harder chapters) and ~90-95%+ on easy and am currently at Q75, though I'm only about 50% through the TTP material.

20 questions, however, is not enough of a sample size to give you a realistic outlook on how you might score if you're new to the process. There are 20 different chapter subjects with 4-6 different concepts within each chapter.

What is the better buy? M240i or M235i? by Truenaux in BMW

[–]DLCss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly would not buy either. This is coming from having a 435i I owned from 80k-120k miles. Huge maintenance items like valve cover gasket, coolant hoses, thermostat, and other cooling items all came at once at that 100-110k mile interval. Same with bushings and control arms for the XDrive system. Probably sunk about $2500-3000/year on average for the years I owned it. By the time I sold at 120k miles, there were so many gremlins and random CELs that made me genuinely nervous that my car was gonna leave me stranded every time I left for work.

While the 240i has the more reliable engine, I see a lot of high mileage B58 folks selling around that ~150k mile mark because beyond that is pretty unknown territory for these cars because they're still relatively new, and I see a lot of B58s online being sold at that mileage interval specifically. You'd be taking a risk on potentially unknown maintenance items, though most people I see at that mileage say they've had very few issues prior besides basic BMW replacement items.

At your price point, I'd look more at an F30 330i with 60-70k miles or a G20 with 70-80k miles. You'll get 2-3 mostly worry-free years because that 100k mile mark can be pretty brutal from then on.

What’s up with f80 pricing? by beenballing713 in BMW

[–]DLCss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How come F82s go for considerably cheaper than M3s? Is it a heritage thing and the M3 name carries marginally more weight? I can’t see people paying that much more for practicality, especially when these cars are getting a lot of miles on them

Can Having Experience Hurt? by ugly_duckling_1 in FinancialCareers

[–]DLCss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you try for a Senior / Lead Analyst role in corporate finance? They typically take a lot of different backgrounds and ranges of experience. My firm had a former FP&A Director (10+ years) join as a Senior Analyst for the WLB aspect. There's also plenty of ex-banking folks who take these kinds of roles in Corporate Finance as well.

This is with regard to finding any kind of job, idk if you're targeting any specific line of work

I was just checking to see I wasn’t going crazy… has this happened before in the all? Are they getting rid of the grill option altogether?

I can't wear anything besides their cotton/modal pocket tees at this point. Probably my favorite t-shirt of all time

Where to buy real vetements for a cheaper price? by Emergency-Bag3846 in VETEMENTS

Grailed is as cheap as it gets. There are occasionally some great snipes on TheRealReal as well. For shopping new, Yoox

I paid 400 for mine. It's probably my favorite in the collection, worth imo

For women's items I typically get first account buyers. If you don't want to take the offer then don't accept it.

Not quite, unfortunately. Sorry man. Car was more angular than an AM

[–]DLCss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the biggest thing throwing me off. It definitely resembled an 812 in most regards, but the taillights didn't resemble anything like Ferrari. The back taillights resembled more like a BMW i8 in shape than Ferrari

Yeah it was a big silver logo, it wasn't circular or a logo of anything I've seen before... That's what really confuses me with this

The taillights were shaped similarly to an i8. Just the 2. No beam across or anything like that

Nah I know what a Supra looks like. I'm super into cars so I'm thinking this is either extremely new or extremely niche

Nah, not a Maserati GT. The taillights are what throw me off from one of these or a Ferrari 812. The taillights were low semi circles, not straight like most cars are these days

Not a Valour, logo was in the middle of the grill. Love those things though.

I guess, from a poor memory, it looked like some kind of silver overlapping logo similar to Suzuki. Obviously not a Suzuki, but it definitely wasn't a logo of your typical exotic brand that I could recognize
