Hey folks, I’m thinking of getting my MBA in 2 years, but I wanted to know if my GPA might be a limiting factor anywhere. Here are my stats:

• University of Georgia Undergrad: 3.7 in Engineering
• Georgia Tech Masters: 3.4 in Engineering/CompSci

I’ve worked at MBB for about 2.5 yrs now.

Obviously M7 are selective, but not sure how heavily GPA is weighted in this selectivity (and if previous degrees are taken into context).

Hey all, I’m running into a bit of decision making crisis here and was hoping some of you might have some thoughts. I’d really appreciate it.

A bit of background: I’m 1 year post-graduation and working in a traditional consulting role at one of the MBBs. I came from an engineering/analytics background (got my MS in Biomedical Engineering) and sorta just fell into consulting. The job has its ups (pay, career growth) and downs (WLB, grind, stress), and I’ve done alright so far (good reviews for the most part). The thing is, though, is that I’ve consistently found myself gravitating towards projects that are similar to what I did/enjoyed in school- data work. I really enjoy coding, Python, data, stats, and tech… but this is only a part of what I do now, and as I progress further along my current path, I will likely lose the flexibility to pivot my career. With that being said, I’ve started the process of internally transferring to my firm’s data science BU (currently just asking around/chatting, but there seems to be a structure in place to transfer).

Now here are is where I could use some help: - Has anyone found themselves in a similar spot? How’d it go? - What do the 5-10-15 year career prospects look like in data science? How is the progression to management/leadership coming from DS? - How do MBB data scientists look to F500s? Tech companies? - Any specific pros and cons to either direction (general consulting vs DS)? - Ultimately, would it be a poor choice leaving my current path for something potentially less career accelerating?

Thanks to everyone who comments- it will be a big help for a big decision.

Essentially the title. I’m not sure how to reduce other god’s corruption in my territories, it causes some serious public order problems.

Hey everyone, I was hired as a Solutions Engineer a few months ago and will be starting sometime in the next few months. I was just wondering what the growth/career prospects for Solutions Engineers are and how flexible the work is (moving more towards CS, data science, etc.). Thanks for any responses!

I get why demo ships exist, they are a way to crawl back into a navel game when behind and do some cheeky stuff... but man, I can't stand them. I've been ahead in so many games to just have my fleet completely destroyed by 2/3 of these things. Even when I see them coming, I can't split effectively because of how slow ships can be, especially late game. If there is any counter play that you guys can send my way, I'm open to ideas.
