pe admin/portfolio part-time work during f-t MBA

hi all,

i'm entering my second year student at an m7 mba program. currently have an option to make about $100/hr for a part-time job doing mostly admin (capital calls, investor letters, audit, portfolio monitoring) related work for a PE fund i was previously with.

this job would require 5-10 hours/week. professionally, i don't think i could get anything valuable out of it skills or recruiting wise (plan to join another organization upon graduation); i'd be doing it purely for the money. but i don't want it to get in the way of school, recruiting, networking, socializing or exploring an internship in a completely unrelated field. my question is how much do you value your time and freedomas a full-time MBA student? this will probably be the last year of freedom before i enter the workforce for the rest of my life.

 

My time ain't worth shit. I'd take $100/hour (a little less than double what I make now as a summer analyst) and sacrifice a Thirsty Thursday trip or some other stuff, especially school.

If you're at a M7 and did a full year, you should know grades don't mean shit for the most part, except to a few employers. If you have good grades, great - assuming you didn't sacrifice networking/job hunting to get them.

Did you go directly into an MBA program out of undergrad? It sure sounds like it.
