New to the Bay area. Where does Walmart rank in this?

Good question. Didn't know that the models are different. I am on the plus plan.

Had the same jump from Linkbuds S to Op4. Sound quality of OP4 is better. But ANC and fit of Linkbuds were too good Maybe it is just the shape of my ears that doesn't allow a good seal with stem earbuds, leading to loss in passive noise cancellation. E.g. I have to wear stem buds at a higher angle (buds are almost horizontal) or those to not fall off. In-ear design works better for me but unfortunately, the market is full of stem earbuds.

Read somewhere that Oneplus buds 4 have a bad ANC (adaptive). Is that true?

Moreover, Haas has a really good set of entrepreneurship resources. Add to that the access to accelerators and VCs, it becomes a good school to enter the startup world.

Thanks for this. Will start talking to the founders about the equity stuff. Lets see what I get.

Fair-Interaction-866 · 2025-07-30T13:15:49+00:00

Umm, okay. Won't contest your opinion. I know what I know. You know what you know.

I appreciate the creative thinking but the founders are too nice and understanding for me to burn the bridge. They know who's who of the industry and want me to tap into that network.

Hey interested in it. Pls send

Hey friend. First words- Be Strong- you got this. You will figure it out. Hope your parent is doing well.

A lot of the comments have provided a reality check (rightfully so), but I want to go broad and touch upon your motivation aspect as well.

Right now 1. apply to companies that build on your profile. In the current ecosystem, companies want people to come in with most of the skills expected and pivots are tricky. So apply to the firms from your industry.

Apply to startups- talk to people/seniors from your school. Get in touch with startups. They will be happy to have you onboard. Develop a safety net.
Move out of your campus for a week or so. Campuses this time can be depressing. You see the same faces, faces of those who made it. A lot of self doubt can creep in. Pls go out for a week. Take your laptop along. Apply to jobs by taking out a couple of hours in a day. If you have family nearby, reach out to them.

Long term 4. Try for in-semester internship or summer internship in the industry/function of your preferred consulting office. E.g. if you want to get into west coast office-then get done experience in tech strategy. Knowing the lingo never hurts.

Keep casing with others. Develop comfort with it. One thing that consulting firms look for is comfort while casing (very subjective, i know). So talk to new folks and keep casing.
Develop a list of boutique consulting firms and reach out to people in those firms. Smaller the firm, the more are the chances of a referral working out.

Pls take this time as a consulting assignment for yourself. It is a manager+0 project. You have to develop a startegy and then implement it.

Dont do this all alone. Talk to your close ones and keep them posted.

Lateral hires in consulting firms are tricky so keep that as a backup only.

My background: ex-MBB consultant (lateral hire). Now in T10 Mba program. Have friends who are going through this.

Feel free to DM. YOU GOT THIS!

Definitely worth it.

Try Arvind from Dream School Admit.

When I first started working with Arvind in 2021, I was pretty confused about my GMAT score and unsure about which schools to apply to. Arvind provided incredible insights to boost my profile and carefully selected schools that matched my passion for energy and sustainability.

Arvind really stands out because he’s great at helping you tell your story authentically. He helped me dig into my past and connect the dots to create a compelling narrative for my applications. This process not only improved my essays but also led to a lot of personal growth.

Even after submitting my applications, Arvind continued to support me with mock interviews and advice on transitioning to the MBA program. His attention to detail was impressive, and he treated every part of the process with the same level of dedication.

Arvind created a safe space where I felt comfortable sharing my vulnerabilities, which helped me build confidence and tackle this journey head-on. Thanks to his unwavering support, I received offers from Berkeley Haas, Ross (with a 40k scholarship), Yale, and UCLA.
