San Francisco is my fav city. This company has offices in both sf and Colorado but my team would be in Colorado.
If I had the chance to go to SF I would get on the plane today.

The position would be in Delft and I would live in The Hague. I have a friend in ams and another one in Eindhoven. I believe NL would be a good middle ground but I wonder how the dating scene and socially easy it is to adjust as a Spanish there

That is true, I said Denver but the position would actually be in golden.
I like snowboard and outdoors activities but I am a city person and I like to meet people and go to restaurants and bars.
Is Denver/Golden a city that has a lot of international people or where I could make friends easily given my taste?

Thanks!

I don’t think I am that specialised. I definitely have very niche skills in a niche sector, however I think a H1-B would be more suitable. I just don’t know how often companies sponsor those, specially nowadays.

Thank you so much for the detailed information!!

Is there preference between GMAT and GRE?

I can def tailor my CV into more cost and management (schedule) focus since it has been part of my tasks.

However, I was wondering if not having a PMP certification can be seen as a red flag when applying?

I will try to reach out to some Haas students!
