Bain & Company Current International MBA Student looking for referrals into Big Tech and consulting.

I always thought Startup experience is valued in USA especially from Series F funded startup but doesn’t seem like that. Only Big company named people are getting interviews.

I'm a fellow Aggie. Unfortunately, A&M's MBA program still flies under the radar. We have hired a few A&M MBAs but it was via very aggressive networking on their end.

I'd recommend reaching out on LinkedIn for people at firms you want to work at who also went to A&M. Cast a wide net because you'll probably only get a hit rate of ~20%

this is good to know. Thank you for this feedback.

Network aggressively.

Big tech internship interviews start in Jan. The interviews happening now are mostly diversity hires.

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?
