Hi, I have been struggling with my career. I have a BS in psychology and worked in the medical field but didn’t find it promising for my career goals so now I’m on my path to earning an MBA in leadership and change management hoping to start my career in a tech company. Would appreciate any advice I can get moving forward to look for jobs or internships in tech companies.

Where you do your MBA is more important than the degree

The lower your school ranking the more difficult it’ll be to find good opportunities. And once past a specific rank. Difficulty just sky rockets

Maybe try for companies with a focus on medical technology. Then, your background will be an asset instead of time wasted.
