Nice Content! Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal published an article stating the issues MBA graduates at top business schools are having when it comes to looking for their first post MBA job. What can you say to the prospective applicant looking at this information and now may reconsider getting an MBA? How important is this information for prospective applicants?
Great question! The job market is indeed more challenging today than it has been in past years. Most applicants tend to (justifiably!) think of the immediate return on their MBA at graduation. It is hard to know what the job market might be like in two or more years when you might be graduating. Maybe the job market is blazing - maybe it is still in a funk? We try to get applicants to think of the long term story. Most MBAs tell us that they switched positions far more often than they had thought they would and that much of the value in their MBA was delivered far later in the career. We don't have the answer for you on this one - just trying to raise a perspective. We don't know what the next few year will bring but the vast majority of MBAs feel their degree was worthwhile!
Def won’t have a 2 yr vacation if doing MBA / JD :( I’ve looked at Lauder but I decided what I need out of the MBA is the OCR for banking, so why put extra things between that
