Deciding between UCLA Anderson ($$$) and Booth. Interested in pivoting to entertainment and know LA is more of a base for that but am hung up on the “prestige” of Booth and what doors it may open in the future. Overall, am thinking the $ Anderson is offering and connections to the industry would be a better fit than Chicago. Thoughts or long term considerations I should have?

Anderson for sure. IMO it’s the 4th best school for entertainment after HSW. Being in LA is a huge bonus. You get to meet way more companies and do mini internships. Also the alumni base has way more people in entertainment.
I’d pick Anderson even if $ was equal

I’d probably go to UCLA. And this is coming from a Booth grad. Loved Booth and have nothing bad to say about the school as it helped me pivot to PE, however, being able to readily network on a regular basis is unmatched. The school name will only open doors, not get you the job and both schools are respected

+1 as fellow booth grad! We didn’t have a huge entertainment focus

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.
