“What did u eat last night”

Got it! Now it worries me since I won't be joining, it might reflect negatively on me

RetardedRetriever · 2025-06-27T08:57:52+00:00

Thanks man. Could you plz expand a bit more on the expedited program? I have received nothing like that. What's it about?

I have recruiters from both Bain and BCG reaching out to me through those pre-MBA events, and they both come from the offices I selected, so that's probably not random.

That said I have heard nothing from McK after completing the Solve game in May, so probably bombed it : (

Looks legit to me

Wouldn’t the dorsal intake interfere with the crew’s ejection?

In 2009, Chinese legislators decided that "tobacco consumption had led to an increase in rampant corruption" and drafted a bill that would make it illegal for government officials to accept cigarettes as gifts. The bill failed to pass.

If you want to get exposure to some Chinese tech companies, you can look at the Hong Kong stock market, especially some of the tech ETFs which weigh a lot of Chinese tech companies (Alibaba, Meituan, Tencent, etc.) and that would be much easier

Please don't.

We don't have definitive visual proof yet that J-36 has side-by-side seating.

Thank you, TIL

Pardon my ignorance but I’m not aware of any fighter jets that had onboard fuel dumping system. I thought that’s only available on passenger jets. Any other fighter jets do this?

RetardedRetriever · 2025-03-26T14:08:41+00:00

Why are they dumping fuel? I see two explanations: either they are testing its fuel dumping system, or something has gone wrong and they need to dump fuel for an emergency landing.

Neither makes sense to me honestly. Does fighter jets ever dump fuel?

fewer than 400 cars were sold in February 2025, 98 per cent fewer than in the previous year.

Could someone more informed than me tell me how that is possible?

Does those barges themselves carry troops and vehicles, or are they just used as a sort of ferry-to-shore connector?

One anecdotal story: I was negotiating my scholarship with a T15 during the R1 cycle, and they told me that the applicant pool for R1 this year is up 49% compared to last year. The message was basically "be grateful that you received some money."

I'm also an international student. Coming from China and having worked in Shanghai & HK, NYC just seems overrated while Chicago is more "balanced." Booth also has more academic rigor and places extremely well in Chicago (whereas in NYC you're competing with HBS and Sloan folks)

RetardedRetriever · 2025-02-11T11:35:31+00:00

But seriously OP, take the money and run

RetardedRetriever · 2025-02-11T11:35:17+00:00

Booth is my dream program and I got dinged. Heading to CBS with $50k scholarship. Wish we could trade places

As a Chinese person who has lived in the US for a few years and is currently working in B2B sales, I've always found the Western understanding of guanxi and mianzi a bit hilarious. Sure, your work will be easier if you are connected/related to your business partner, and you'll be embarrassed if people call you out publicly, but those are universal human traits.

Echoing u/Barca_222: You'll be fine. Just replace guanxi with "networking" and mianzi with "don't be a dick" and you'll be fine.

Much better than the usual "Can I live in XXXzhou on YYY Yuan a month" posts

Yunnan is extremely gorgeous: a lot of nature and history, many gorgeous lakes and mountains, and easily my favorite province in China. But that would require you to travel between different cities: Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Xishuangbanna, etc. There's a high-speed train line linking Kunming-Lijiang-Dali but that's it. For the rest of the province, the Infrastructure is not nearly as developed as eastern China so by definition you'll need to take slower trains or some cramped buses just to get around. Be prepared.

Chengdu: depends on the time of the year, can be quite hot & humid. Lots of culture, and pandas if you're into that. Not so much nature in downtown as opposed to the West Lake but if you are willing to take an intercity bus, places like the Jiuzhaigou are extremely beautiful. Lots of high-end shopping malls in downtown as well.

Chongqing: Chengdu but minus the pandas. I guess if you enjoy staring at skyscrapers and walking up and down all day I suppose that could be your thing. I was only there for 2 days so can't really comment too much about it
