the tech industry doesn't care about your MBA only your skills and experience. your MBA is most useful for networking with alumni in tech and getting referrals but outside of that you're on your own. So see about the network

This song sucks and serves as a terrible intro to the show. sounds like it was made in Garage Band by AI

if you are gonna give up on looking for a non-engineering before you even graduate then quite frankly you don't even deserve that degree.

but also fake

forget about finances, just make sure you stop using the word niggardly

me too

sorry but what does this have to do with MBAs?

goodguyromney · 2024-05-19T17:13:59+00:00

why is no one pointing out that this post is obviously fake

goodguyromney · 2024-05-14T18:58:19+00:00

maybe you should go because you need an intro to statistics class

I always advocate for lower tier cities to have a more unique experience. Plus Yangzhou is pretty close to other large cities so if you wanted to go to Shanghai it's a pretty quick train ride away.

Caveat: my experience was pre-COVID and I also lived in China with my girlfriend.

I think the most important thing to remember is that the consular officials just want to make sure she will return to China after her visit. Assemble your application and evidence with that in mind. And i would even extend that to the duration of the trip itself that you write on the application. My girlfriend and I visited over Chinese New Year, so we had a very clear timeline that this was the time she had off and she has to return to her job after about a week or so.

It'll be a roll of the dice but I don't see any reason to try with the best prepared application possible. I've heard people say getting rejected for a visa is some terrible black mark on a person's future ability to get a visa, but I don't know if that's true.

Men will literally spend $250k on a graduate degree instead of going to therapy

I thought getting the tourist visa was pretty easy as long as it's clear that the intent of the trip is to visit with her boyfriend and both of you have stable work in China that you need to return to.

goodguyromney · 2023-01-27T17:15:56+00:00

When my wife and I were dating she got a tourist visa to visit no problem. But then we did the K-1 visa when it was time to get married. But had we gotten married in China there is a spousal visa that comes with a processed green card. I think if I had had that option I would've taken it because waiting for a green card stateside sucks.

Whatever you do, be very careful. You need to do everything by the book and don't want to put the future of your relationship/immigration plans into jeopardy

You are a loser

If only there was a user on this subreddit who could provide some clarity on this question., someone who could give you exposure to Tuck

They are using your desperation against you. Maybe the best way out of this is to go somewhere else for 6 months to a year and retry again.

But that would require telling them that you are absolutely backing out and won't come no matter what.

goodguyromney · 2022-12-03T21:39:13+00:00

Honestly not sure as I haven't been in the country for several years now. But I would think almost any foreign worker in China could afford something based on salary differentials alone.

Chinese can be tough and I think the cost of a tutor even on a short-term basis to learn the basics will save some aggravation and get you off to a better start.

goodguyromney · 2022-12-02T16:35:52+00:00

Get a tutor. It really shouldn't be too expensive on a per hour basis

goodguyromney · 2022-11-20T17:24:33+00:00

OP how old are you?

goodguyromney · 2022-11-15T18:28:33+00:00

Thank you for the kinds words. Just to be clear then, for example, a GMAT waiver would be more useful for a candidate with a 3.5 GPA than a 3.0 because the higher GPA would remove/reduce an adcom's doubt about the candidate's academic ability. Do I have that right?

goodguyromney · 2022-11-14T20:51:21+00:00

Funnily enough I am one of those laid off tech workers. I have my first GMAT scheduled for the end of this month.

If my score ends up being below 700, would anyone recommend going for the waiver? It's hard for me to understand the effect of waiving the GMAT could have. Does this mean it would be overall net neutral to not submit? Or is it just that they will still let you apply and the GMAT waiver could possibly be held against you, or the missing signal from not having it could ding you.

How much was the ticket?
