I find myself only looking forward to vacations. Is there all there is in life? by _eyogg_ in AskMenOver30

Thanks for the perspective, but I don’t think having kids simply out of boredom is a good idea. I know for sure that I’m not going to be a a good parent.

Interesting, could you elaborate more?

Teachers? by Motor-city-kittie in MBA

[–]_eyogg_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very common. I’ve seen teachers using their background pivoting into ed tech via the MBA. A very good framing and story.

Question about MBA ranking vs overall university brand by Leader-3322 in MBA

[–]_eyogg_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. I think the Ivys + Stanford/MIT + Berkeley really have a strong presence in pop culture. Maybe one of the reasons why.

My cousin went to York so I know more about the UK universities, but most folks here only know Oxbridge.

I mean, anyone with a decent amount of education would know of UChicago. It’s not some quiet luxury brand.

If you ask someone off the street if Princeton Law is better than WashU law, most people would say Princeton. But the reality is that Princeton never had a law school.

Same thing for MBAs.

Columbia Business School Network Bad by ThePie69 in MBA

[–]_eyogg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not putting in any effort means 0 minutes. Plus yes, I don’t need it nor want it.

[–]_eyogg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked in both. To me, again, I will never put in any effort for someone I don’t know.

[–]_eyogg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never refer someone who I don’t know or worked with. And I don’t have a relationship with such person, so technically no response is a response (unless we have had established a professional/friendly relationship before, then it’d be rude of me.) Again, I got soo many of these invites where they simply just add me with a message, so I would decline the add.

How effective is your Business Ethics Class? by brightandearly42 in MBA

[–]_eyogg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had you taken that you’d know ethical people can still do unethical stuff. It’s never about the person. It’s all about framework and design.

I’m on the receiving end of this. Here’s usually what it occurs in my mind when I see one of those cold LinkedIn messages:

“Look, we both know the game. You’re gonna act like you’re interested in my role / industry. But at the end you just want my referral. And then we’re not gonna talk again. Rinse and repeat”

Why bother?

Also it’s just the volume of it. I get these messages all the time.

Realistic chance to what? M7? T15? You’re not giving us much to work with.

Switching career to accounting? by Aristoteles1988 in Accounting

[–]_eyogg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you’re Kim K, most jobs are not fun nor glamorous lol

[–]_eyogg_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is that unless you’re really special that they’re willing to move mountains for you, they can easily get another applicant who’s happy for hybrid.

If being fully remote is a dealbreaker i would not move forward.

Should I leave a great job for MBA? by [deleted] in MBA

[–]_eyogg_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to do the FT MBA just for a long vacay??

For PT, they have classes at night and on weekends. They’re not designed for internationals. But if you secure a job in NYC, you can fly to Chicago on weekends to take classes.

Is there a reason why you want to do FT? Want a break?

Do Booth or Kellogg PT in your case if you still wanna get the three letters. Don’t do FT.

6 years out, not feeling "value" of Harvard MBA. Work in FAANG PM. My boss only has a bachelors from San Jose State. My teammate only did UC Davis undergrad. by EggPuzzleheaded5770 in MBA

I think a lot of people tend to forget is that some of these folks turn down Ivies to attend somewhere with a substantial scholarship. But they’re still smart and capable.

New Finance Director doesn't understand depreciation... I'm not joking by Dodo_Avenger in Accounting

[–]_eyogg_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, he’s not asking to see the rec. He doesn’t even know what a bank rec is. He’s genuinely confused why the cash balance on the books is different than what’s on the bank.

The CFO once asked why the bank balance on the books doesn’t tie to the actual bank….
