MBA in Need of Counsel
Hi all,
I find myself seeking the advice of strangers as I consider options for the future. I am a first-year MBA student at a top-15 program that I was admitted to on a full athletic scholarship after playing 5 years of D1 sports at the same university (3.7 GPA, Religion major in undergrad). After an injury derided a future in professional sports I was planning on going to law school, until I found myself presented with a full-ride MBA scholarship. I have considered options for 2020 summer internships and post-graduation full-time plans (December,2020 graduation), including a very promising lead to interview for the Associate internship program at a BB IB, as well as a lead to intern at a top tech VC. However, I am married with a baby and I enjoy time with them as well as time in the outdoors, etc., and I am not sure if I am cut out to perform the IB Associate lifestyle if it is really as bad as I have read on here. The VC lead would be great, but it is less promising.
I am in a bit of unique situation as the youngest person in my MBA cohort with a humanities undergrad degree and no work experience (except for 2 years coaching sports). I know it is difficult to give advice with such limited information, but is coming time to pick a major concentration and I appreciate any and all comments. Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I think I will prepare for both IB (Citi) and VC (a16z) in hopes of getting VC. If VC doesn't work and I am able to get the associate position at Citi and grind it out for 3 or so years, and assuming I did not want to move up in banking, how would you assess my exit ops? Obviously its contingent upon a number of unknown factors, but from what I have heard they are not as good as for analysts.
Thanks again
