Update on Student Loans + Remote Jobs

Plus: A practical GRE session this Sunday, loan alerts for students, remote jobs, and a sneak peek into DreamBridge AI.

Hey Dreamers,

I hope you had a fantastic weekend and are ready to crush the week ahead.
This week we talk about updates on student loans if you are applying for grad school in the US, and remote jobs if you are staying back in Pakistan.

A HEADS UP ON STUDENT LOANS

Many students I talk to are seeing their Prodigy Finance loans get declined — Prodigy has become more conservative this year. If that’s you, try MPOWER Financing as a backup.
You can use my referral code to apply. (I can help nudge your case)

Tips to boost your approval chances:
Use your passport as ID — speeds up review
⚠️ Don’t apply for 100% funding via loan — it raises red flags

💡 Go with whichever offers the lowest interest rate. And please don’t take on a $100k+ loan for a Public Policy degree unless you’ve got a solid plan, experience, and quant backup.

Disclosure:

  1. I get a small referral bonus if you use my link

  2. I personally took out a loan with Prodigy, but their interest rates were really high (~13%). As soon as I graduated, I refinanced with SoFi and brought it down to 6%

Remote job for finance bros
