I’m a tech guy who’s about to join Wharton. I’ve noticed that quite a few non-tech MBA people are willing to switch into tech and I wonder whether it would make sense for me to somehow aggregate/structure any sort of information that would be helpful for my future classmates (might be a good and quite meaningful way for me to make connections too, I guess). My experience is within FAANG, fintechs, machine learning and advanced analytics. What might be a good way to approach this? >>>

Is it common to hold some sort of small 1-to-many crash course session on some topics? Is there even any demand for this? Like, would someone be into any basic tech skills or industry overviews? Or is this completely irrelevant within school realities?

And if there is demand, what people might be interested in? Non-tech options in tech? FAANG overview? Python/SQL 101? Teams structure? Wtf is machine learning? Etc

The reason I’m asking is because I’m definitely biased and it is hard for me to understand whether my experience is of any value for other people.

I would suggest reaching out to the tech club and the fintech club to see what sorts of resources exist and how you can supplement them! No need to reinvent the wheel but SUPER value add to share your knowledge and insights with peers looking to transition into tech.

Hi there! Incoming Wharton admit here.. it would be definitely useful, I am also looking to pivot to tech (or consulting - will explore both). Not sure about the best way but small group chat might be super useful - from these you could gather what people are looking for and then build a guide or cheat sheet that cover things like courses to take, skills to build, how to network and what FAANG look for - happy to discuss further if makes sense

I’m still waiting to see if I get into Wharton or not (round 2) but I would looove this. Can I join anyway even if I don’t make it lol

I think you could connect with Wharton’s Technology Club and become a leader to help your classmates in that way! I’m going to Wharton this fall as well and my partner is a data scientist in banking/tech industry and I’m pushing him to join the club and help my fellows by leveraging his background. Maybe we will come across at some point later this year! Feel free to dm me and I can connect you with my partner :)
