Date: September 19th, 2018 9:03 PM Author: Purple stage In T2 city where I could rent a nice place for $1500 and an average-ish place for $1100.
100% not doing an MBA
Make in the 80s plus small bonus for chill 40 hrs.
In ~1 year, could probably be promoted to manager and make $90ish + a little more bonus

Date: September 19th, 2018 9:06 PM Author: Purple stage You're saying now or after I get promoted? Companies would hire someone as a manager whose only "managing" experience was supervising an intern?
I have no idea how this stuff works. |

Date: September 19th, 2018 9:06 PM Author: Swashbuckling obsidian knife parlour Is slightly harder ime but not impossible.
Do you actually want to manage people or go more technical route? |

Date: September 19th, 2018 9:08 PM Author: Purple stage Whichever pays more. I don't have any real technical skills beyond the basic SQL needed to run fairly simple queries. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4081780&forum_id=2#36844600) |

tuition is ridiculous
2 years of lost salary
it seems like outside of the top schools, average post-mba starting salary is like $100K. i think id be in the same spot in two yrs just from staying where i am.
i graduated ug w a bunch of loans. never giving my $$ to a school again.

wat do u think, additional study needed? |
|
Date: September 19th, 2018 9:43 PM Author: Purple stage the problem for him would be his entry point--basically all of our analyst candidates come from OCR. in general, if your resume looks at all promising, we'll send candidates a math test and if they do well, they can get a phone screen.
im not sure how other companies do things. if he were still in ug and claimed he decided he wanted to do business, he'd be fine as long as he did well on math test/cases. |
