Are companies that go bankrupt looked down upon?
Hi everyone,
I'm currently a senior in undergrad and have a FT offer for corporate strategy/development at one of the tech companies that recently IPOed and is now doing poorly (think Zynga, Pandora, Groupon, etc.). My question is, if I take the offer and the company eventually goes under in a few years, will business schools look down on my MBA application if my resume has a company that went bankrupt? Thanks!
Not at all. You will probably be an asset to the program as you will have inside information that you will be able to share with your cohort and fellow students in general. Your experience will make for interesting classroom discussions.
You can use your background to write a case during your MBA.

1) The title of this thread is hilarious.
2) In my personal opinion (who cares about that, right?) I would view that type of experience as an asset to the program, and corporate strategy/development at a social media start-up seems like a great springboard for the rest of your application, depending upon what you want to do in the future.
Here's another option: shop your offer to a (public or private) competitor. Tell them, "Hey, I have this offer, but I'd rather come work for you because I think you're going to beat the pants off them. And here's how I can help you do it."
