Hi,
I've seen this touched upon in some other threads, but I was wondering how much of an impact it will have on my application(s) that I will not be requesting a recommendation from my current manager. I plan on applying to a few schools that explicitly request such a review (or a written reason to explain its absence).
I've only been in my current group for 6 months, and I feel that asking for a recommendation will give off the misleading impression that I am unhappy with my situation. I also don't know that 6 months is enough time to really get to know a subordinate. Not to mention he has already been working 100+ hours a week lately and the last thing I want to do is tack on another 2-3.
What I want to do is ask an old manager (at the same firm), with whom I'd worked for over 2 years. In my situation, would that be the best route?
Thanks
