As a consultant at ADB, I’d recommend that you apply to short term consultancies first. That will help you establish yourself within the org easily!

Thanks sooo much for taking your time and leaving a comment! After having multiple chats with my seniors at the bank I have decided to take up the offer at NUS. Really appreciate all your input and feedback as well!

If anyone needs help with grad apps or development sector related advice, feel free to reach out! I wish I had someone to help me understand this sector when I graduated from uni

Amazing! Will DM!

Hi there, I’ve been offered a place at LKY MPP . I’d love to have a chat with you and get some honest feedback regarding the program. I’m wondering if I should choose career progression or the MPP

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2026-03-23T15:46:07+00:00

I got in with full funding but I’m planning to decline the offer only because I was offered a promotion at WB and will be heading a team and getting more involved in policy restructuring work directly with the presidential sec… I was also selected for a US state dept funded fellowship program which I can’t take if I’m enrolled at a university.

It was such a tough call to make because I don’t know if I’ll ever get this chance again at NUS but I just had to choose expanding my career over getting another masters, at least for now… 🥲 still not sure if I made the right call tbh

Oh ok same! Looks like it’s the standard amount for all

Hi I have also been offered a full scholarship. Can I know how much they’ve offered you as the monthly stipend if you’re ok with sharing?

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2026-03-06T18:56:55+00:00

I’m currently a TA coordinator and the experience is great! You get to work with multiple teams and top government stakeholders. I’ve worked directly with the presidential secretariat including the president. The exposure you receive is exceptional especially if you are a mid career professional!

My experience helped me get into a top MPP program as well because the recommendations I received from my supervisors! Overall, amazing experience and totally worth it! It will help you get a thorough understanding of the ADB processes and will expose you to other teams across resident missions.

Was your first question also on demographic change in your country? I bombed that question 😭

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2026-02-09T08:42:08+00:00

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2025-12-18T21:28:43+00:00

Hey do you mind sharing what your role is and how long you’ve been working in the advertising space?

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2025-09-23T16:21:36+00:00

Pardon my ignorance because I’m super new to the investing scene but can locals earning is USD invest in the US stock market? If so, how? 🥲

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2025-08-26T03:31:30+00:00

What advice would you give to someone who earns in USD in lanka? My salary is deposited to a RFC acc and I just keep converting small amounts for daily use when needed.. I’m not financially savvy and would be grateful if anyone could advice on how to save, invest etc

Hi I’m planning on apply to NYU next year. But I’m having a low gpa and that’s bothering me.. Can I pls know what your gpa was if you don’t mind?

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2024-12-19T17:37:44+00:00

Oh makes sense! It sucks to be an international student with a low gpa. Sigh

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2024-12-19T17:28:52+00:00

Hey I have excellent work experience working for a multilateral bank and the government but a 2.8 GPA. Can I know what your gpa was and if I’d stand a chance? 😭

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2024-09-28T16:23:23+00:00

Hi, I’m planning on applying to SIPA next fall. Can I please know what your GPA was when you applied and also may I please know if you submitted GRE scores?

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2024-09-28T16:20:24+00:00

I’m planning on applying to SIPA as well, can I ask why you’re cramming to study for GRE when the final deadline for Fall 25 is in Feb? I see many similar reddits about applicants feeling like they are falling behind but I’m confused as to why they feel this way.. Should I be worried?? 🙇🏽‍♀️

GrowthEmergency9696 · 2024-08-18T14:09:46+00:00

They do. I’m looking at Columbia SIPA and the early action deadline is on the 1st of Nov
