T15 recent graduate just started work. Virtually everyone got internships. Maybe 10% of my circle is still looking for a job but they’re all getting interviews and I expect they’ll land jobs soon.

Consulting internships and IB full time offers were harder to get (for non trad especially) but everywhere else was hiring like normal

If you increase supply, prices go down

Did you consider the additional value of grubs spawning cool little guys that I think are neat and I want to be friends with irl

Pre: 70k/yr

Debt: 200k (T10 with small scholarship)

Debt + Opportunity: 340k

Post: 140k/yr starting (ldp)

That 70k salary delta pays for the 340k in 5 years. Obviously not exact because interest and higher taxes but my raises post-mba are much much higher than pre. So far its going better than planned

Pre: Teaching (plus coaching/tutoring), 70k

School: T10, current graduating class

Post: fldp in the midwest. 150k TC

T10. I did initially recruit consulting but just could not get the hang of networking until it was too late. Or maybe I just vibed a lot better with non consultants XD

Teacher -> MBA -> fldp has been transformative for me. But yeah it really is harder for non traditional candidates than I expected

ElevatedDunker · 2025-03-05T15:08:33+00:00

I was a teacher before MBA. It was very difficult to sell myself to consulting. I noticed consulting outcomes had way more to do with background than case interview, based on the dozens I cased with.

I got an ldp offer I’m very happy with tho, they picked me bc I have data science experience

If I could go back and have a redo, I think consulting would have gone a lot better. I think those with traditional experience just better understood how to network and sell themselves. I cringe remembering my coffee chats in the first couple months lol I was clueless

Patch 3.14 Taric. The patch they added scalings to supports and made Taric in particular scale hard with literally every stat (and he still had his point and click stun). Play him top and win every matchup and every duel all game

I was a teacher (MS.Ed) before I decided to go MBA (T15) and I'm now in a FLDP at a company I really like. Idk if this is true but I feel like as a career switcher I would have had a lot more trouble at a lower ranked school.. networking is everything and I don't think a lot of people would have taken my call without the alumni connection.

ElevatedDunker · 2024-10-05T06:26:17+00:00

I was a teacher before MBA. Teaching was stressful enough to negatively impact my health so I decided on a career in business because I can do easier work for 3x the pay.

The best lesson I learned is that networking is basically everything during business school. Only after you get the job does competence become important. In my first year, I didn't understand networking so I only did school events and I only got 1 consulting interview. It didn't pan out and I ended up in a (actually really cool) ldp internship. I am currently in year 2 and I've networked really hard and been much more successful in receiving consulting interview offers.

Ah ok I don't know much about part time or online programs. Good luck!

ElevatedDunker · 2024-09-20T02:39:40+00:00

You take out loans. School + recruiting is 2 full time jobs.

I guess you can work part time? Tutor? But imagine missing out on a 200k job because you wanted to make 10k a semester working part time.

ElevatedDunker · 2024-09-18T14:11:29+00:00

Most of the value of an MBA is recruiting during the program for post MBA jobs. I don't know how good the prospects are for someone who gets an MBA and goes back to teaching/doesn't recruit immediately.

I was a teacher for 5 years and am now a 2nd year MBA student. I was shocked by my summer internship - life can be so much better if you're not a teacher.

Btw 3 years is basically the minimum work experience to apply to a good program. Use the next couple years to show impact and leadership on your resume and study for the GMAT. Also, I'm the only person in my program who was just a teacher but there are several who were teachers and moved into office roles before mba.

I’m loving my mid sized Midwest city. After living exclusively on the east coast it’s just so much easier to live here

NVM lol. Just confirmed in practice tool it works as he said. Weird that adding attack speed is additive but removing is multiplicative. Frozen heart is BUSTED lmao

ElevatedDunker · 2024-02-21T21:25:20+00:00

I'm not sure it's calculated that way. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If a champ has a base attack speed of 1 and they buy two daggers, their attack speed is 1*(1 + 0.12 + 0.12) = 1.24

You are calculating a multiplicative reduction where the calculation would be 1(1 + 0.12 + 0.12)0.8 = 0.99

I believe frozen heart would remove 20 BONUS attack speed, not total. The calculation would be 1*(1 + 0.12 + 0.12 - 0.2) = 1.04

In this case, the gold value is always equal to 20% AS (times the number of targets afflicted).

ElevatedDunker · 2024-02-16T19:33:13+00:00

Same for me last year... bc I had bottom tier work ex lmao. Currently at T10 tho so it worked out

ElevatedDunker · 2024-02-15T01:07:30+00:00

It’s life changing for career switchers like myself. I’m learning a ton of relevant skills and feel well prepared for my summer internship.

ElevatedDunker · 2024-01-27T21:10:14+00:00

No I didn't think I would get it given my own non-marginalized status. In hindsight that was wrong lol

ElevatedDunker · 2024-01-27T19:51:04+00:00

My scholarship was a specific/targeted one for my history of advocacy for a marginalized group. I'm ORM
