Business School Exits Not in IB or Consulting
Hi all,
Young monkey here applying to some b-schools in the third round for this year. I'm 23 y/o, will be 24 at the time of entering the program (if I get in and choose to go).
I work at a high profile tech start up (been here for 15 months) and got promoted within my first year. I really like the company, experience and responsibility I have, but as we grow the culture is changing and becoming more corporate.
I studied electrical engineering at a top-15 school, and am currently in a PM role. I'm only going to apply to a handful of top-10 schools (as I see my opportunity cost for going to school pretty high at this point in time).
My question is this: if I'm not really interested in IB (finance in general) or in consulting (initially accepted a consulting role straight out of graduation before finding this gig two months into that job), what other recruiting options are there at the Columbia/Kellogg/Booths of the world (Stanford is my far reach)? I'm most interested in obtaining a middle-management role in a large tech company (think Google or Amazon, eventually transition to the VC world), would an MBA from a top-10 school help me with this?
Any information would be helpful, thanks for your time!
Quite a few friends went to M7 schools after their analyst stint (I am strongly considering currently as well, although no interest in tech). I'd say best way to gauge career outcomes is going through their career placement reports. Lots of people going into large multinational tech companies currently from what I saw in a few reports (I think it was MIT or Northwestern). You can also go through LinkedIn and search for recent grads of each school and ask about what their experience will be like and ask about their recruiting process and placement.
