You mean for the class of 2028? Let’s take the closest parallel. In April of 2020, the market was tanking, layoffs were starting, etc. most people would’ve said no way should you apply. In august 2020 you would’ve decided not to submit an app for the class of 2023. In 2021, when you would have been recruiting for internships, large companies hired the most they ever had. You would have missed that.

This isn’t to say “oh it’ll be amazing”, but rather that anyone who tries to predict the market in 2 years is lying to you

Trump is still gonna be in office in 2028 which means immigration policies would still be hostile to international students, regardless of how the economy will be at the time

I think there’s always going to be a risk these days given that MBAs are not what they once were. You could be part of the ~10-20% of each class that don’t have a job at graduation. That pressure is tougher considering you’re an international and sponsorships aren’t always available for roles. Even more pressure with the current administration. However, if you’re a strong applicant and have relevant work experience, you’ll succeed in your target fields. I would apply, and see the outcomes, scholarships etc. and then make a more informed decision. This is coming from a Kellogg admit going this fall.

Phone addiction. I truly feel like I have one now and I hate it. Is anyone feeling the same or possibly improved your phone addition? I am constantly on my phone and my usage is averaging 5.5 hours per day. I wake up to my phone and it's the last thing I see before bed. On it between meetings and any moment that I don't have to be focused. I will say that my phone doesn't get touched when I'm with people. Almost at all. It is a cycle of insta, snap, and FB. With LinkedIn and this in between.

Hey guys, need some advice. I was fortunate enough to get the Consortium fellowship at Ross but am also stuck on the CBS waitlist and am still planning to apply to Wharton in R3.

For context, I want to get into product management at FAANG/fintech with pursuing MBB as a plan B. Thanks in advance!

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?

Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
