Plead Guilty to Speeding Ticket -- Will This Impact My Career or Grad School odds?
So, I plead guilty to speeding 12 miles over the speed limit. Will this impact my MBA odds? My friend said it is a misdemeanor, even though it is literally a speeding ticket, nothing else.
Do companies care about this? It is just a speeding ticket.
Will this prevent me from getting into a quality MBA program if I tick the other boxes of strong WE, GPA, GMAT?
Freaking out right now. So, I'd appreciate any insights/advice.
No one will ever see a speeding ticket. I've gotten one and never thought about it again.
DUI, different story but manageable. Speeding ticket, take a breath, not important.
But it is a misdemeanor in NY, right? Wouldn't it show up on an HR screen? It is literally just a speeding ticket
I'm not sure how deep background checks go. What I am sure of is that no reputable firm or school would hold a speeding ticket against you.
If you're really freaking out, take one of those defensive driving classes that lower the points on your license. Then you can tell people you made a mistake but were responsible in remediation.
My recommendation is to not worry about it at all.
I'm pretty sure it's a minor misdemeanor in most states. Misdemeanors usually are classified into different classes, and minor misdemeanors don't show up on background checks (at least based on what I have read and experienced).
If there is any company in the world that cares if you have a speeding ticket, then you don't want to work for them.
YES, you are 100% fucked. At this point, I hope you can change tires because that is pretty much your only career option! 12 miles OVER? Dude wtf???
Must be a new driver
irrational concern
actually curious: will it impact his MBA or grad school odds at all at a T10 school if his/her stats and work experience are up to par?
bruh i got a Minor in Possession charge and was totally chilling. Made it through background checks no problem youll be fine.
how tf you make it through background checks lol? Either way that's dope
no clue. but not gonna ask any questions about it lmao. also had a speeding ticket 16 over. whoever runs these checks must think very poorly of me...
I have one for 30 MPH over… it’s never come up
I have one 65 miles over…never came up. Also dont think it’s on my record anymore. Not sure
65 over?? Are we talking doing 80 in a 15, or 130 in a 65? Genuinely curious!
I was going 120 on a 55. I was a dumb 19 year old kid at the time but got myself a great lawyer and knocked it down from trying to suspend my license to just 2 points. Take a online class and it all goes away.
Wuuuut. Dude no one cares if you have even 15 speeding tickets. As a car guy i might even laugh and joke around if someone told me that. But no that won't affect your career prospects in the chance this was a serious question. Employers and schools care about crimes which could reflect on character and judgement ie. theft or narcotics possession or driving under the influence
You joke, but in VA 20 over is a felony.
people have gotten DUIs and it didn't affect them...
YOURE FUCKED. NEVER GETTING JOB EVER- YOU SHALL BE BANISHED TO THE MINES IN SIBERIA
