How a MiM Degree Can Set You Up for a High-Paying Job Right After Graduation

When I decided to pursue a Master in Management (MiM), one of my biggest concerns was whether it would lead to a good job right after graduation. I knew that an MBA had a strong reputation, but I wanted to start my career earlier without having to wait for years of work experience. It turns out, a MiM degree can set you up for some of the best MiM jobs right out of school, with impressive starting salaries and growth potential.

Why Employers Value MiM Graduates

MiM programs are designed for fresh graduates who want to build a solid foundation in business. The curriculum covers core areas like finance, marketing, strategy, and operations, giving you a well-rounded skill set. Employers love hiring MiM graduates because they bring the latest knowledge, analytical skills, and a fresh perspective to the workplace. Many companies actively recruit MiM students for entry-level managerial roles, knowing they have been trained to handle real-world business challenges.

High-Paying Job Opportunities After MiM

Consulting: The Top Choice for High Salaries

One of the most lucrative MiM jobs is in consulting. Firms like McKinsey, Bain, and BCG regularly hire MiM graduates for roles as business analysts and junior consultants. These positions offer starting salaries ranging from $70,000 to $100,000 per year. I’ve seen many of my peers land jobs in consulting, and it’s easy to see why — the industry values the problem-solving and strategic thinking skills developed during the MiM program. Plus, the fast-paced nature of consulting provides excellent learning and growth opportunities.

Finance: Investment Banking and Corporate Finance

If you have a passion for numbers, finance can be a highly rewarding career path. MiM graduates often find roles in investment banking, corporate finance, or financial analysis. Companies like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley frequently recruit MiM graduates, offering competitive starting salaries and bonuses. The typical starting salary for MiM graduates in finance roles can range from $80,000 to $120,000, depending on the location and company. The MiM curriculum’s focus on financial analysis and business strategy helps graduates hit the ground running in these high-stakes environments.

Tech and E-Commerce: Fast-Growing Industries with High Pay

Another exciting avenue for MiM jobs is the tech and e-commerce industry. Companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft value MiM graduates for roles in product management, business development, and operations. These positions often come with attractive compensation packages, including salaries of $90,000 or more. The versatility of the MiM degree means you can apply your skills across various functions, making it easier to find a well-paying job in this fast-growing sector.

Final Thoughts

A MiM degree can be a powerful launchpad for your career, offering access to high-paying jobs right after graduation. Whether you’re aiming for consulting, finance, or tech, the skills and knowledge gained from a MiM program make you a valuable candidate in the job market. For me, choosing the MiM was about getting a head start on my career, and it has definitely paid off.

If you’re considering a MiM, rest assured that it’s not just an alternative to an MBA — it’s a degree that opens doors to lucrative roles and sets you up for long-term career success. With the right focus and preparation, you can land your dream job and start earning a great salary as soon as you graduate.

turning back from sheep to human form and being around the brothers would make me so happy bc I'd have a human throat (lololol the wording-) again~ 🥴😵 seriously what if reader turns back having them down their throat is the only think the brother can think or that reader can think. Oh Wooo! I'm dizzy. I'm so sorry I'm terrible. I'm going to the horny jail.

The fact that this is what I've been thinking all day is crazy-

And the amount of requests I'm getting for this certain scenario is also crazy.

At this point this might just turn into a series T-T

And yeah, I'm back :)))

LUCIFER:

The atmosphere inside the office of the mighty Lucifer changed drastically

All he can remember is that he's scolding you

And now you're on your knees as his hips bucked into your mouth mercilessly

"That... That's what you get for answering back." He managed to pant out as his grip on your tightened before he pushed your head closer to his hips, pushing his cock deeper to your throat.

Your eyes shot open as tears streamed down your face "Mim swo-rryy!~" You said after he slightly pulled his dick out of your mouth to let you breath.

A mixture of his cum and your saliva dripped from your mouth to the floor together with your tears as you put your hand between your legs like how he told you, like how obedient dogs are told to.

MAMMON:

The private room of a casino is filled with joyful laughter as Mammon and his colleagues play another round

He's been winning for ten times in a row now

His luck might just be today! Or it might just be under the table.

Another round of poker just started and the joyful laughter that once filled the room is now gone as it is replaced with a tense and eerily quite atmosphere.

Is it really quite though? I think not, considering how lewd slurping sound and satisfied groans leave both of your mouths "Good, good treasure." His voice turned deep and husky as he laid his hand on top of your head.

He continuously patted your hair while subtly guiding you into moving it up and down "Swallow it all now~" His cheeky voice ordered before he pulled your head away from his cock by your hair.

He put his finger in your mouth and forced it open, putting your tongue between his fingers "Very good!~" He praised like you're just a dumb human... His dumb human.

LEVIATHAN:

Everyone that passed Levi's room can just sigh out of pure disgust and dissapointment.

"He's watching that stupid 2D porn again is he?" Is all they can think as they heard loud moans coming from his room.

He won't deny that he's watching that 2D porn, but instead deny their guess that those moans are coming from the computer though.

"U-Ugh!~" He moaned shamefully as he held on his gaming chair for his dear life as he felt his cock touch the back of your throat again "S-Stop doing t-that!" He tried to seem domineering.

His attempt failed miserably though after you did not listen and pushed his cock even more deeper causing him scream pathetically "S-SHIT SHIT SHIT! FUCK U-Ugh! Wa-it! T-Tired, I'm tired!" He begged.

With another lick on his cock, thick white strings of cum shoot out of his dick again before he fell back to his chair, panting. "Wow, wow, wow! Let's try this one now!" You suggested before your hand touched his second dick that has been leaking pre since earlier.

His hands trembled as he tried to grab your wrist and pull it away "N-Nooo!~" He whined out but once again, it fell into deaf ears.

SATAN:

He loved reading books with you

The quite and romantic atmosphere that surrounds the two of you is just ethereal in his point of view.

Although, this session is strangely different from those romantic ones.

He's breathing is weird and erratic as his trembling hands turned over another page "A-And so- t-the army of t-the opposing- A-AH SHIT WAIT NO!" His knees buckled as he released for the nth time.

His upper body collapsed on his desk but you kept his lower body standing by gripping his waist even though his knees has obviously lost all its strength "You're... You're abusing your throat- WAIT WAIT WAIT!"

Before he can even finish his rant you pushed his cock in your mouth once again, going on a fast and brutal pace while he's left on top of his desk completely stupid.

ASMODEUS:

He loves you so much, maybe just as much as he loves himself

Maybe even more and he doesn't even know how that's possible.

But the fact that you're happy that you got your realy body back just makes him happy too.

He tucked a stray hair to the back of your ear as he realesed a contented sigh "What a smart way to test if you're throat is still working properly~" He teased as he slightly bucked his hips up and down similar to your pace.

You just ignored his comment and decided to get back into work "U-Uh~ My beautiful love~" He praised as he continuously stroked your hair.

A soft groan escaped his throat as he squirmed before looking down at you and smirking "Open wide now..." He ordered as his finger caressed your lips.

BEELZEBUB:

Wow, congratulations MC! You can finally eat normally again!

It must've hard for you all this time not being able to eat properly, if he were ever in your situation he would've lost his mind!

But nevermind that, you can finally eat properly again! Whether it may be food or him

He leaned back as deep groans and low moans escaped his lips "Thank you MC..." Is all he can say as you struggled to take his full length in your mouth.

You have taken large dicks before, but it's nothing compared to his considering how you struggled to take even his tip.

But he shall not worry as you will let your body pay for what your mouth can't do.

BELPHEGOR:

He's such a lazy fucker

He doesn't even want to feed himself but it's understandable as he's the avatar of sloth

But feeding you is a different case

You lay comfortably bellow him as his hips bucked in and out of your mouth "Ah, ah ah! One more please..!" His hips shook erratically as he experienced another orgasm.

His body almost collapsed but managed to grab the headboard as he lazily used your mouth as a fleshlight "P-Please... Help me..!" He begged wanting to experience another high.

All you can do is slightly nod before you grabbed his hips and flip him over, now your positions are reversed "You're already turning dumb and you still want another one? How slutty." You commented.

Okay, MAJOR SALT COMING! Also a long post!

So I have the Disney Villains tarot deck but before I go into the salt part of the post, let's go into the positives.

The cards have stunning art and each card is appropriately themed to the villain generally speaking about 98% of the time. (IMO).

Another positive is the roster of villains included. Seeing even a few minor/underrated villains is pretty cool and impressive.

Some examples of these villains include Bowler Hat Guy, Madame Mim, Madame Medusa, and possibly Yzma.

Now onto the salt.

As impressive as the span of villains is, two villains are absent who (IMO) deserved a card.

King Candy

Frollo

First, there are other villains absent, but I'm sticking to these two since I've seen these movies. Now going in order, it is an absolute SHAME (IMO) that King Candy doesn't have a card, but I have an idea of which card suits him best.

The King of Swords. Although this card is given to Scar, and I do love how it looks, I believe that King Candy deserved it.

Plus, Scar appears on like three other cards, so I think it's okay for him to appear three times (sorry Scar, I do love you too).

Anyway, I'm going to go into some detail as to why I believe King Candy/Turbo deserves the card by going into the meaning of it and how it relates to him.

I'll admit, I have a lot of points and can talk about this for days, but I'm going to condense them to 3-ish. I'll do the same for Frollo too in a part 2 post.

Going for a two in one here: The card is about being an authority who uses reason and their intelligence for good. while the reverse of this is being cunning to deceive people.

After Turbo hijacked Sugar Rush, he was very methodical about his approach to make it sound like he's their rightful ruler. He locked up their memories, then he fabricated the lie that she was a danger to their game. Turbo did his best to make sure nothing went unchecked and made sure to make the lie sound convincing to protect them (but mostly him). He's very strategic, and was able to come up with a plan to manipulate Ralph with 16 manipulation tactics in one go. He was even able to feign being concerned to play on Ralph's attachment to Vanellope.

I think the best line that best captures this aspect of the card is "Doing what's right, no matter what." AKA: He recognizes that it may sound harsh, but he makes his lies sound reasonable to protect his subjects and game.

The card also represents enjoying structure when upright. But it's controlling and oppressive in a need for order when reversed.

Turbo needs everything to be to be going his way, as he's a control freak.

Inserting the test animation here, he even says "You are a threat to my game, to the order I have maintained. And if there's one thing I can't abide, it's anything out of order!"

Also, the split-second something isn't in his control, he starts to fumble and break into either rage or nervously laughing. He's capable of coming off as cool and composed, but he's scared of being caught and it can cause him to lash out in anger (another aspect of the card).

Just as mentioned in the previous point, he made sure nothing went unchecked and made an entire world literally revolve around him. He can and WILL happily use all of his resources of excessive force he has like the cops, the Sugar Rush equivalent of S.W.A.T., and the fungeon to detain someone who stands in his way.

As a minor note, there's a line in the tarot guidebook that states the reverse of the card can represent "someone who needs to win at any cost." Which describes Turbo to a T. He not only wants attention but he's also extremely competitive. It's part of his programming, and it ties to his love for racing. To always come out on top and be #1. No matter who or what stands in his way.

That core drive (pun intended) was the cause of his villainy in the first place and earned him his infamous status in the arcade.

Okay, I don't want to sound too salty, but you can imagine my disappointment when King Candy didn't get a card.

Oh well, Its fine, I still love and use this deck.

So I guess we can call this the thrilling conclusion to the 3 part saga of including King Candy in Disney Villain merchandise.

Also as a sidenote: hypothetically if he did get this card, what would the imagery be?

I feel the card has the potential to get creative with the glitch effects. For example make it so that he's glitching between the Turbo appearance and the King Candy appearance. If we want to be a little cheeky, we could have it set in his castle, and out the window, we see a the cybug Ralph initially sent to SR flying outside a castle window. (similar to Hook's card as the crocodile is seen outside)

So basically, my interpretation would be a mix of these images and Captain Hook's card:

But, if anyone else has really cool ideas, I'd love to hear them! If you want, you could also draw it out to illustrate your point (pun intended) Honestly please do, I'd love to see other people's interpretations of this card for him. The possibilities are endless!

Join me in my antics next time when I analyze Frollo and and the card I think he should've gotten.

[yuchan1928ofc]

Hello everyone, I’m Yuchan, and I’m here to present an independent project I’m working on. I’m creating a yandere visual novel called Two Faced Lovers.

I would like to ask for some feedback, as I don’t want to end up creating a copy of a game or visual novel I haven’t encountered yet. I’ll give a brief summary of the story, but it might change as the game updates and is developed.

Synopsis: You’re in school, it’s your last year, and this year you decide to make some changes by starting new friendships and finally fitting in. However, along the way, you encounter people who are willing to fight for their eternal love, even if it means lying or killing to get what they want.

Now, I’ll explain a little more about the story: the visual novel I’m creating features two yanderes and two rivals (the number of rivals may change). Keep in mind that in this story, rivals can be romantic partners, but they are considered rivals by the yanderes.

Currently, I’m working on the NPC sprites, and since I’m the only one working on it—drawing, editing, and even programming—I believe the game won’t be completed anytime soon, especially since this is my first time creating a game.

I want to bring a somewhat cute theme inspired by 14dwyN, and I’ll reveal who the yanderes are. But I want to emphasize that the game will be a "farce," with the theme initially appearing as a cute romance game, but once you start playing, it turns out to be a somewhat darker game.

E antes que alguém pergunte, o jogo não será NSFW, pois ainda não estou confortável com isso. Pode ser visto negativamente, especialmente por pessoas próximas a mim, Os personagens foram inspirados em meus amigos da vida real, mas com seus gêneros trocados. Então, antes que alguém diga que estou copiando outra visual novel, quero deixar claro que minha arte é inspirada nas pessoas da minha vida. Não tenho intenção de copiar ou fazer algo semelhante a outras obras.

Anyway, this was a brief explanation. I hope you like my idea and accept it.

I just want to emphasize again that my game is entirely inspired by 14 Days With You, The Kid in the Back, Date with Death, and Error143. I am simply a big fan of these works, and they have inspired me a lot to gather the courage to create my own game with my own hands.

[soracities]

Hi Mim,, I wondered if you or any of your followers have words/advice on going long-distance with a beloved partner. I have to move far away from my love of 9 years(!) to attend my dream PhD program and we won't be able to reunite for another 3 years while he finishes his schooling. Every day takes me closer to the move and has me more heartbroken even though this is what I want and I believe we can make it through. Any words of comfort from the soracities community is so welcome and needed. <3

I have no experience with long distance relationships so there really isn't much advice I can give, but what I can tell you anon (if you haven't already) is: plan, plan, plan!!! Long distance is always going to be difficult and there's no way around that difficulty so one of your best bets is for both of you to work as hard as you can to maintain open, attentive, consistent, and deeply honest communication.

Figure out how much communication you need and what kind you value most--what about your partner? What are the ways you can make time and space for these despite the distance? Then sit down with your partner and work out a schedule for phone calls, video calls, daily (or weekly) check-ins etc and, most importantly: hold each other (and yourselves) accountable to them. Set out a game plan for how you will tackle conflicts over long distance: if you both are having packed school weeks, or feel you really need to talk about something, agree on a code word that says "I know you are busy but I desperately need you to make some time for this issue / for me" and then agree on a timeframe in which the other person will address it.

For example, you can schedule it so that you both ensure you have at least one weekly catch-up, and one fun date, on separate days that you always keep to: if you can manage something extra, great, but if not: have a baseline minimum you both honour alongside your commitments to your work and education and daily lives (you can even just have a study date where you both do your work together via video call)--your dates can be anything: you can do a weekly movie night with Hyperbeam or Teleparty (or visit the cinema on the same day to watch the same film and then call each other to talk about it), if it's feasible, take a walk together when you're on the phone and make a whole thing of it: pick a nice scenic spot in your respective places, plan your route, let the other know what it's like where you are, bake something together over video call, etc. Whatever routines and rituals you had together, see if there is a way you can carry them over remotely over the next 3 years, or even vary the things you do to make up for the fact that it is remote for now.

I think one of the hardest things to contend with is the sudden lack of physical proximity to each other, and the loneliness that follows especially if you see people around you in relationships having that, so I would also recommend finding stand-ins for that physical closeness. You said you won't be able to reunite until your partner finishes his own schooling--I don't know if that means quick weekend visits are out of the question (either through sheer distance or financially) but if they aren't, absolutely see if you can plan a visit either from your end or his. If not then maybe, along with your virtual dates, write each other letters, or send each other small tokens, postcards, silly little missives, anything to offer a physical piece of yourself to each other but also to remind the other that you're thinking of them and missing them and they can physically touch and hold those thoughts in a physical form.

I can absolutely understand your fear, anon, and it is definitely not easy and incredibly daunting, but I think it is something beautiful that you have had 9 (9!!!!!) wonderful years with your love already and the fact that you are brave enough to take this leap for your own dreams AND have such faith and trust in your relationship and its strength is a true testament to what you have built together over these years. You both should follow your dreams and fulfill them and I wish nothing but the best for the future awaiting you both where you get to combine those dreams and continue building another chapter of your lives together 💗💗💗

Have Some TWST Fan Lore Part 2: Corlux Key Seminary

Quite literally the largest of the arcane academies, acting as an "all are welcome" paramilitary institution for mages of all sorts. It is revered for its music program, particularly its marching band. - the description that would be on Corlux's in-game info card if it were canon

------------------------

A Very Brief Background

According to legend, Corlux Key Seminary was originally opened by a collective of special forces mages led by a wizard of power so fantastic that he could supposedly create living worlds out of paint and paper. These mages guarded their kingdom of light with such ferocity that they were referred to as 'living locks', which was fairly ironic considering their weapons were shaped to resemble keys.

With that said, however, the lead mage truly believed that people of all talents and backgrounds were welcome to their land if their hearts were 'pure'; after all, unconventional talents had been proved to win the day over and over in the long lens of history. As such, Corlux Key Seminary was created in honor of that wizard and his friends by offering a variety of programs for students to harness their skills.

Tidbits & Trivia

Night Raven College and Royal Sword Academy can bicker about having the power; Corlux Key Seminary is content to boast about having the numbers. There are a grand total of twenty dormitories across the entire campus, though the joke among students is that there are actually twenty-three. This is due to some of the dorms having gotten a rebranding of name some years back, but people will use the new and old names interchangeably. It isn't uncommon for freshmen to be deliberately told to retrieve something from one of the dorms using the old name for it so that they will wander around for hours trying to find it.

Corlux Key Seminary is located in the far north of the Shaftlands; not exactly neighbors with Harveston, but close enough that the more troublesome youth of the town are threatened with being sent there if they don't shape up.

Corlux's inclusivity even goes as far as the dress code; as long as the students are wearing academy-issued attire and it's properly clean, they're golden as far as the rules go. This is actually a selling point for students who are exploring their gender identity, or even just for people who want to wear quote-unquote 'gender-specific attire' just for the sake of comfort. Rather recently, one student even turned down their invite to Royal Sword Academy specifically because 'they don't allow guys to wear skorts/skirts there; hard pass'.

As Corlux is currently under the reign of a fae, all students are granted protection from minor cantrips and spells by what is referred to as a 'pulchra osculum' ('beautiful kiss'). This is a TWST-fan!verse term created by myself which I will explain at a later date, but the basic idea is that it's a minor protection spell.

Corlux is officially listed as paramilitary due to their structure not being fully comparable to a traditional military school, though there is a kind of 'honors program' sponsored by official military institutes from across the nations to help those with serious aspirations for the armed forces. The way to distinguish those students from the general populace is an armband emblazed with a specific crown modeled after a symbol worn by a legendary 'Keywielder', as the military-aspiring students are called.

Even if students do not choose to enlist into any kind of military service upon graduation, they will receive top-of-the-line training for a variety of careers. As mentioned previously, one of the school's most famed aspects is their marching band that has seen several of its former members go on to be professional musicians of some kind.

------------------------

Author's Notes

As previously mentioned, Corlux Key Seminary is an arcane academy created by yours truly to serve...well, a lot of purposes, actually;

Play around with the idea of what a TWST military school would look like while also having a bit of flexibility for fun

Give the girlies/girlie-identifying folks of TWST a place to be educated since there don't seem to be a whole lot of those in canon (at least from what I've seen)

Place a few extra Kingdom Hearts references into TWST (you mean to tell me that four of the Great Seven are the villains of the Princesses of Hearts, with one of those Seven even being Maleficent herself, because of sheer coincidence? I think NOT, friend!)

Because this is a fanverse for a piece of media, which means we live by the credence 'I did it because I could' xD

This is all in good fun between a small group of friends who are doing something fun with a game we all enjoy. Just let us have our thing and feel free to engage if you like it :)

The Alabama high school band director shocked with a stun gun after a football game last week in front of dozens of students was "just doing my job," he said Wednesday.

Police officers in Birmingham told Johnny Mims, the band director at Minor High School, to tell his band to stop playing about 20 minutes after the end of a football game on Sept. 14. The band was in the midst of playing music for a "fifth quarter."

Body camera footage released by police shows Mims continuing to conduct the approximately 145-member band through the end of a song. Then a physical altercation with officers ensued before he was shocked three times.

"The things that happened at that game should have never happened," Mims told reporters Wednesday. "The students should have never seen me Tased.

Mims was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and harassment, police. According to police, he "pushed" an officer during the altercation and had to be shocked to be subdued.

He denied pushing, hitting or attempting to strike an officer and said the force he was met with was "excessive."

"My client never struck or even remotely attempted to strike an officer," Juandalynn Givan, a state representative and Mims' attorney, told USA TODAY on Wednesday.

Givan said she and the Alabama Education Association, which represents teachers and other public school employees, were pursuing legal avenues to achieve accountability for the actions of police. They are also pushing for Mims to go back to work after he was placed on administrative leave while the school district reviews the incident.

Video shows officers telling director to stop the band

Footage released by police and additional footage provided to USA TODAY by Givan shows officers approached Mims as he directed the still playing band in a set of bleachers. Loud music drowned out much of the conversation, but an officer can be heard telling Mims to stop the band from playing.

"Get out of my face," Mims told an officer.

Mims told the officer they were wrapping up their last song. Mims continued to conduct the students while several officers stood in front of him and told him the stadium needed to be cleared.

At one point, an officer told Mims he would go to jail.

Mims gave two thumbs up and said, "That’s cool." Soon after, the stadium lights were turned off, and the band continued to play the remaining few bars of their song, at which point Mims motioned for the performance to conclude.

"Put him in handcuffs," an officer said.

Why was Mims arrested?

Mims was then pulled from the conductor's stand, Givan told USA TODAY. Much of the physical confrontation between Mims and police was obstructed from the camera's view. Police said Mims refused to put his hands behind his back and pushed an officer.

Givan said none of the footage she has seen shows Mims striking out at an officer.

As Mims was shocked with the stun gun three times, many of the onlookers, which included students, were screaming, the video showed.

It's not clear why officers were instructing Mims to wrap up the band and clear out of the stadium. Mims told reporters he and the opposing school's band director had agreed beforehand to play a fifth quarter after the game. He said once the lights went off, it was also hard for him to direct the band and officers standing between him and the students "interfered" with his ability to follow their orders.

"I was just doing my job as an educator, instructing the band, allowing the band to play and, again, just celebrating the achievements of our football team, cheerleader squad and our band program," he said.

Givan also told USA TODAY that officers did not inform Mims he was under arrest until later and cursed at him.

Legal experts told USA TODAY it's not clear whether his arrest was lawful. He should have complied with officers' demands and set a better example for the students, said Brian Higgins, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. But Birmingham defense attorney Victor Revill said it's important to consider whether Mims had a legal right to be in the stadium at the time.

Arrest has impacted students, community, lawyer says

Givan and members of the Alabama Education Association said Wednesday the arrest and use of a Taser on Mims has "traumatized" students and impacted the community.

"This was unacceptable. It's an embarrassment to the state, it's an embarrassment to the city," Givan said.

She said Mims sustained injuries and has seen a doctor. He is experiencing numbness and tingling as a result of being shocked, she said.

"He’s emotionally distraught over this," Givan said.

In extended body camera footage provided by Givan, an officer leading Mims away in handcuffs can be heard telling him that his actions would make students less trusting of police in the future while Mims insists it was the police that escalated the situation.

Givan said she is pushing for the officers to be put on administrative leave.

I'll be okay with Hazbin Hotel season 2 only having 8 episodes IF that season mainly focuses on the smaller stuff, like Charlie again trying to focus on redeeming sinners and the Vee's plans against the main characters.

As much as I want to see more big moments about things such as Lilith and what she has been doing all this time, getting hints about Eve and Roo, seeing Charlie interacting with angels like Jesus Christ and her angelic aunts/uncles, and seeing other HH characters like the von Eldritch family and Crymini (who again I think should be a Hellhound) I would like to see those stories be expanded and explored properly and not be rushed in a small season like Vivize and the writers had to do for Hazbin Hotel season 1.

I got a few ideas for what the 8 episodes can be about related to these things:

The season premiere has the hotel crew meeting their new resident Baxter. I can see the episode going over several other things such as the aftermath of the season 1 finale, like how stopping the Extermination has made the Pride ring a little crowded and sadly the characters learn there is going to be another Extermination happening in about 9 months. We could learn that Charlie has a bit of PTSD from the battle and is still guilty about Pentious' death. Maybe as a way to coup wiht this she has doubled her efforts to find a way to get sinners into Heaven.

I also could see such an episode having a plot point where people are checking into the hotel BUT most don't want to actually be better people, something Baxter does at first before slowly changing, so Charlie and co. now need to weed out those that want to be redeemed from those just using the hotel for various purposes. I could see the last idea being the premise of its own episode, as it would be a great way to add several characters to the hotel staff/group at once.

Exploring Vox and Alastor's past. This could explore a bit of Alastor's human life, but also what happened to Alastor 7 years ago. Great way to start dabbling into the Roo (or Lilith if you believe in that) connection theory.

Charlie trying to terminate Angel's contract with Valentino once and for all. I have brought up the question why Charlie hasn't made Angel leave his job as a requirement of him staying at the hotel and after seeing how badly Val treats Angel and with the Vees being the main antagonist of S2, this should happen. This would basically be like Helluva Boss's mid season 2 episode but I can see it being more dramatic and pleasing to see Val lose. this can also lead to Val getting more motivated to take down the hotel crew in the end.

Charlie goes to Lucifer for information on how Heaven and Hell decided who goes where after they die, in hopes of finding a clue or angle for her redemption program. This episode could also count as the eventual flashback episode showing how Lucifer and Lilith met, the whole apple thing, and the war between God and Lucifer's forces. Charlie could learn the shocking truth about how something really went down compared to the version she was told/led to believe.

A episode in Heaven where we see Sir Pentious getting use to Heaven while he and Emily deal with Lute. Like I brought up in my first season 2 episode idea post, they could decide to disobey Sera's orders and try to contact Charlie to show that redeeming sinners is possible.

Alastor cashes in the favor Charlie owes him by asking her to show her a legendary item or place, which leads to Charlie taking him to a special area. In no time shenanigans happen like something gets stolen or gets out of the room, causing the two to clean up the mess before something bad happens. Along with seeing Charlie and Alastor bond, especially if we get more of Al's life in such an episode, there would be a twist at the end where we find out this was part of Alastor's plan/mission as someone else was able to get in the special area get either another item, read something from a powerful book, or something else mysterious. Maybe Mimzy steals something in it and we get some development from her and she joins the hotel.

An episode about Niffty and her backstory. She didn't get any serious development in season 1, and such a premise was one of the scrapped ideas for the original HH season 1. I could see this being a good episode that is more entertaining then doing anything to advance the main story.

Speaking of which, another scrapped HH episode had Angel getting kidnapped and Husk and co. go searching for him, especially Husk. That would be a GREAT episode to have airing before the season finale.

A crazed Lute performs the Extermination attack of Hell earlier than scheduled. The events here could lead to the season finale, as I could see the Vee's attacking the weakened Charlie and the other characters after they have just dealt with the angelic forces.

The finale would be a battle between the hotel crew and the Vees, where maybe near the end Emily and other heavenly forces come to aid Charlie' side. I can see it ending with the Vees being punished by Charlie like maybe Val and Vox temporarily lose their Overlord titles (though Velvette getting out of it somehow) but Heaven as an apology for Lute's actions says that while the angels are currently debating on the topic, they will hear out Charlie's redemption plan again if she can redeem another sinner or two without aid from her father or and demons/angels before the end of a set deadline (AKA the season 3/4 finale). The season ends with everyone being happy until they are surprised by the appearance of Lilith at the hotel.

Another good thing about having season 2 focus o these things is that it will mean other, bigger stories will have to be told in later seasons and while currently mixed about Helluva Boss' planned 4 season run, I LOVE the idea of Hazbin Hotel having a lot of seasons.

Do you think these things should be the focus of Hazbin Hotel season 2? What could you see happening in it?

What Makes the UK One of the Best Destinations for MiM Students

When I started looking into Master in Management (MiM) programs, the UK quickly became one of my top choices. Known for its prestigious universities, vibrant business landscape, and diverse student community, the UK offers a unique environment for aspiring business professionals. If you’re considering a MiM in UK, here’s why it might be the perfect destination to kickstart your global career.

World-Class Universities and Top-Ranked Programs

The UK is home to some of the best business schools in the world, offering highly reputed MiM programs. Institutions like London Business School (LBS), Imperial College Business School, and Warwick Business School consistently rank among the top in global MiM rankings. These programs provide a comprehensive curriculum covering key areas such as finance, marketing, strategy, and leadership. What stood out to me was the strong emphasis on experiential learning — through case studies, consulting projects, and internships — which prepares students for real-world business challenges.

One-Year Programs with High Return on Investment

Most MiM programs in the UK are designed to be completed in just one year. This shorter duration appealed to me because it meant I could enter the job market faster, saving both time and money. The UK’s MiM programs typically offer a strong return on investment, with graduates securing high-paying roles soon after completing their degree. Top recruiters, including companies like McKinsey, Deloitte, Google, and Unilever, regularly hire MiM graduates for roles in consulting, finance, marketing, and operations.

Access to a Thriving Business Hub

Studying a MiM in the UK places you at the heart of one of the world’s most dynamic business environments. London, in particular, is a major financial center and a hub for industries like technology, consulting, and media. This strategic location provides unparalleled networking opportunities, with many business schools hosting events, industry panels, and career fairs. For me, the chance to connect with professionals from leading companies and gain insights into different industries was a major advantage of studying in the UK.

Diverse Student Community and International Exposure

The UK’s MiM programs attract a diverse cohort of students from all over the world. This multicultural environment creates a rich learning experience, allowing you to collaborate with peers from various backgrounds and gain global perspectives. Many programs also offer exchange opportunities with partner universities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, enhancing your international exposure. I found this diversity incredibly valuable, as it helped me build a strong global network and develop cross-cultural communication skills.

Supportive Visa Policies and Job Opportunities

The UK’s supportive visa policies make it easier for international students to stay and work after graduation. The Graduate Route Visa allows MiM graduates to stay in the UK for up to two years to find employment, providing a great opportunity to kickstart your career. Many of my classmates secured jobs in consulting, finance, and tech within a few months of completing their MiM program, thanks to the robust career services and strong industry connections of UK universities.

Final Thoughts

Choosing to pursue a MiM in the UK was one of the best decisions I made. The combination of world-class education, a fast-paced program, access to a thriving business hub, and supportive visa policies makes the UK an ideal destination for MiM students. If you’re looking to gain a strong business foundation, build a global network, and start your career in a dynamic environment, the UK offers everything you need to succeed.

The murder of Sarit Ahmed

(Report June 11 2023, via Haaretz)

Text version below cut

The Murder of Sarit Ahmed Reveals Israel’s Failure to Protect the Arab LGBTQ Community

Welfare officials admit Israel needs to do more to protect LGBTQ Arabs, after an 18-year-old Druze woman was killed by her brother after leaving a shelter to stay with relatives

Some three weeks ago, 18-year-old Sarit Ahmed approached police with a request for protection. Ahmed, whom police suspect was murdered by her brother because of her sexual orientation, feared her life was in danger.

She was sent in a taxi to a shelter for young women at risk. Ahmed didn't enter the gates, however. Instead, she went to stay with her sister and family, feeling that she would be safer there. She was shot dead on Friday on a road near Yarka, a Druze town in the north.

Police have not arrested any suspects, and still looking for her brother. According to police sources, the brother can be linked to the attack. Ahmad's two brothers were convicted of threatening her life after she alerted police in 2020.

Welfare officials have said the case highlights the need for a system to help LGBTQ Arabs who are in danger that goes beyond placing them in shelters. Some options might be using the witness protection program, which would allow them to change their identity and move abroad. Another option would be resettlement in another country under the auspices of the UN. These solutions are usually reserved for Palestinians who have fled to Israel, and are very rarely used.

Ahmed's two brothers, Ihab and Said bin Samer Ahmed, both served prison terms for sending death threats to Sarit. Their indictment said one of them had offered 200,000 shekels ($56,000) for her murder. Another brother threatened to "stab her with a knife" and then act "as if nothing had happened," according to the indictment. Following the threats, she was transferred to a shelter due to concerns for her safety.

Ahmed began living at a home for at-risk girls when she was 15 under a court order. When she was 18, she was transferred to another shelter, but left after two months, along with two friends.

Shelter staff reported the incident to the police, sources say, and tried to convince her to stay in the shelter. Ahmed and her friends "came to the conclusion that it wouldn't work out with their families," a welfare official told Haaretz. “They would stay in the shelter for another month and then what? They decided not to hide forever.

“She wanted to fulfill herself like any 18-year-old," the official said. "She was locked in one shelter under a court order for three years, and then in another. Sarit was opinionated and a feminist, she understood the world she was in. There is a limit to how much you can put these women in shelters and incarcerate them. This does not solve the problem."

According to investigators, Ahmed had returned to her family shortly after leaving the shelter and stayed there for about six months. Her brothers had already been released from prison. She continued to be in contact with the shelter she had lived in, and had recently reported an increase in death threats to the police, who ordered her to return to the shelter. Ahmed refused to live in hiding again, and during the last two weeks of her life had stayed with her sister and her family, who kept her secure in a nearby village, until she was killed on Friday.

The case is similar to a similar one in 2019, when a young Arab woman receiving gender affirmation therapy was attacked and seriously wounded by her brother outside a designated shelter for LGBTQ youth in Tel Aviv. In this case too, her brothers were previously accused of threatening her.

During a Knesset hearing last week, it was revealed that the Welfare Ministry employs only one social worker dedicated to helping LGBTQ Arabs. Arwa Adam, director of Arab LGBTQ organization Beit Al-Mim, said in the Knesset that about six months ago that the Social Equality Ministry approved the opening of a shelter for the LGBTQ Arab community, but had not actually implemented it.

According to Aguda – Israel's LGBTQ Task Force, on Saturday, the number of calls to the Arabic hotline have doubled since the murder. Adam added that "the callers wants to unload, because they don't have a framework in which to share it".

Palavra de hoje: “Espera pelo SENHOR, tem bom ânimo, e fortifique-se o teu coração; espera, pois, pelo SENHOR.” (Salmos 27:14)

Neste salmo, Davi passava por momentos difíceis. Muitas vezes, ele fazia declarações de fé e ânimo como se estivesse conversando com ele mesmo. Aqui, ele falava sobre esperar em Deus e que, enquanto havia a espera, ele deveria ter bom ânimo e fortificar o seu coração.

Nenhum de nós gosta de esperar. A impaciência e o hábito do imediatismo nos faz sempre ansiar por uma solução rápida para tudo que passamos, seja porque realmente temos um prazo ou porque achamos que não aguentamos mais viver aquela situação.

No entanto, nossa visão sobre as coisas que acontecem é extremamente limitada. Nós não dominamos o tempo, os processos, a logística, os desdobramentos das situações e também não conhecemos o nosso limite interior

Mas Deus sabe, E Ele também sabe a forma certa de nos tratar por dentro, permitindo que certas situações mexam no nosso interior para que possamos ser transformados.

O que fazer, então, quando bater a ansiedade pelo que ainda não foi resolvido? Tudo que você precisa fazer é confiar que Deus te ama e sabe a forma e o tempo certo de todas as coisas. Ele não está indiferente ao que você tem passado e nunca te deixa sozinho. É justamente o contrário!

Pode ser que a resposta não venha no tempo que você programou, mas ela virá no tempo exato de ser bênção para você!

Então, hoje, eu quero te confortar e te fortalecer com esta palavra: espera em Deus, conte com Ele, confie que Ele não vai te deixar e nem te envergonhar.

Enquanto isso, provoque o bom ânimo em você, fortalecendo-se espiritualmente. O Pai vai trazer para você a melhor solução, no tempo perfeito, e ainda vai te surpreender positivamente!

Oração: Pai, o meu ânimo vem de ti e não do que está acontecendo ao meu redor. Eu creio que o Senhor conhece tudo sobre mim tão perfeitamente que me fará viver a minha bênção no momento certo. Eu não gosto de esperar

Ninguém gosta -, mas, durante este tempo, eu manterei viva em mim a crença que o Senhor é fiel e jamais me abandonará. Ao contrário, sei que serei surpreendido por ti. Em nome de Jesus, amém
