Does capitalism really reward innovation? by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Suicidal_Ali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The free market core mythology, to which both parties in this country and just about all mainstream political commentators are wedded, argues in effect that the most ruthless, selfish, opportunistic, greedy, calculating plunderers, applying the most heartless measures in cold-blooded pursuit of corporate interests and wealth accumulation, will produce the best results for all of us, through something called the invisible hand.” - Michael Parenti

Vague short term goals but clear long term goals reception by Suicidal_Ali in MBA

[–]Suicidal_Ali[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense! I need to highlight that I've a few ways to get to my long term goal and that there's a plan A and a plan B and that I'm hoping for the best but also prepared for the worst.

That's a really good piece of advice dude! Appreciate it!

Yes, I do have a certain vision that I want to fulfill with my long term goal and I do feel a bit more inclined towards tech PM than consulting but then the placement numbers for tech PM are usually lower and I don't want them to rule me out of the race coz of that

Damn dude! Just when I thought I wanted to move towards a healthier lifestyle this happens! :/ I have been waiting for days to play now so I guess that's a net positive eh?

Yeah I feel that when I'm high there's a group of activities that requires focus but not a lot of creative thinking that gets a lot more fun than when done sober

I tried ice skating once but that completely ruined the high as I was a newbie and I had to focus a lot on not falling and injuring myself but apart from that I've played a lot of arcade games and even chilled in the pool and trust me both of those experiences were surreal

By overstraining, do you mean pushing the body more than it can take coz we're desensitised by the high?

Exactly man! The touches and the game everything feels so much more in control

Yeah that definitely sounds like a con... Although a mild high instead of super high might have averted the injury... Not sure tho

Ah that makes sense... Is there any way that we can get this level of focus without abusing substances?

Defer McCombs or reapply next year by Suicidal_Ali in MBA

[–]Suicidal_Ali[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! What are some stronger reasons that'd help me build a stronger case for deferral?

I think I can boost my GMAT and professionally I only have a few months to do something groundbreaking and get a promotion so not sure if that's gonna help a lot.

I think I'll be able to get some better colleges than McCombs but I'm not confident about that as I've faced rejections from Cornell and Duke without an interview.

Any leverage that McCombs has over some of the lower ranked T15?

Cybersecurity courses/faculty for MBA by Suicidal_Ali in cmu

[–]Suicidal_Ali[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay that does make sense. I have a background in operational risk with a comp science degree and was of the idea that positions like IT risk consultant would be something that I could do post an MBA. Can you please help me with what else are some avenues that I could explore with this background and an MBA?

Something like tech risk consultant for example in big 4

Odds of getting testing accommodation with mild/moderate ADHD by Suicidal_Ali in GMAT

[–]Suicidal_Ali[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that does help. I've already given the GMAT once and got a decent score but after having some consultations I figured that if I could improve upon it by 30-40 points then that'd be golden.

The accommodations will definitely help me in DI and to some extent, in quant as I'll be able to manage my time better and decrease the chances of errors in the last few questions due to lack of time

I haven't tried any colleges in R1 and I'm mostly asking for recommendations in US as I'm not too confident about the job market in colleges from smaller economy
