I graduated last May and the job search was very long and challenging (sometimes frustrating). Now, I have chosen to go back to an engineering position in a startup in the Bay Area, because I could no longer afford to wait, I do not see any immediate economic recovery, and my long term plan is still the same whether I take up an engineering or marketing position. If I had an option to change something, I could have tried the traditional MBA routes such as consulting or leadership programs. Back then, I decided against them because I already had lot of experience and did not want to wander for a few more years.
In the meantime, I get a lot of questions from prospective students and I thought I will answer them as separate blog post rather than responding to their comments made on an earlier post.
PS: One of the FastTrack MBA student has shown interest to contribute/take over this blog. Other current MBA program students are welcome to join. Just shoot me an email to add you.
