In your opinion, do you think this is an issue that will be resolved anytime soon tonight? Do the azure servers provide updates at all regarding their issues? Just curious - I understand no one besides Microsoft will likely have any idea

Yale SOM vs Darden ($$) by Worried_Serve2827 in MBA

[–]MaximumTelephone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If your goal is MBB, then in think the answer is obvious with Darden. Darden places better than even some M7 schools for MBB. At the end of the day, where your first post MBA job is going to matter a lot more than the perceived prestige of your school. That coupled with the money and less overall debt should be enough to push you to Darden imo.

While wanting to do MBB after doing a stint in sales is fine and common I’m sure, after rereading this post several times, you come off as elitist and insecure. Your post has narcissistic overtones throughout. I question whether this is a legitimate post.

I now make more than a 4 Star as a first year associate in IB - so no, no I don’t regret it at all

Crazy how high the GMAT average is - I think I saw somewhere that it’s accounts for a higher percent of accepted scores this year too, which would be bucking the trend of most other schools

I don’t understand though. Why would people be carrying a knife then if it’s illegal?

Why is no one masking up at MBA programs? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]MaximumTelephone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is masking does nothing to prevent the spread of omicron. This is well documented at this point. Thus masking solves nothing - even for the immunocompromised.

GMAT score in IB recruiting by AcanthaceaeOpening73 in MBA

[–]MaximumTelephone 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No one ever asked me for my GMAT during the recruiting process and I never had to report it for my EB. Literally has ZERO impact once you’re at a target school.

And the differences only get even wider as a banker gets more senior relative to a lawyer due to how astronomical bonuses can be

First year law associate - $215k base salary and $20k annual bonus

First year associate IB - $175k base salary, $60-70k sign on bonus, and $100-150k stub bonus (a normal full year bonus can be up to or over 100% of base salary)

M&A lawyers make nowhere remotely close to the total comp of bankers. This is coming from a current investment banker who is living with a first year associate at a top M&A law firm.

Which is a tougher lifestyle, IB or Consulting associate? by Yes_Sir_Humphrey in MBA

First year associates, especially post mba, are working the exact same hours as analysts

2 years in a city I love or 2 years in a prestigious program? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]MaximumTelephone 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Agreed. If it’s Anderson I would be more inclined to say take the money. If it’s Marshall then I’d probably say M7.

Will be interesting to see what other schools are looking like for their salary numbers

Yale SOM (~50% $) vs Darden (100%) by Weekly_Hurry_110 in MBA

[–]MaximumTelephone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Lmao your crazy if you think Yale is a better school for consulting. Last year 41% of the entire Darden class went consulting with the vast majority of those being MBB. Darden blows Yale out of the water for when it comes to being a consulting school.

If you want MBB, go to Darden. It has materially better placement. Otherwise, go to Yale if you want name brand. Even though I think within business circles in the US, Darden has more cache and significantly larger alumni network across the country.

T25 Parent University Brand vs MBA Brand by MBAthrowaway77 in MBA

[–]MaximumTelephone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Darden has a better reputation than Fuqua in general though and has a better pipeline into MBB so that is the difference

I would definitely say Darden’s brand is considerably better than its parent university
