Hello Mastercard employees. I have been trying to break into MC for long now.
I have 2 yrs workex post MBA. I have experience in data analysis and consulting. But I don't want to get into consulting anymore. I am looking for analytics roles. Anyone here would be able to DM and guide me on the available options at Mastercard?

Did you read the comments? He was being torn apart, for only having 45 days and posting in linkedin instead of another forum...etc... There are some positive though.
That is my hope too. You never know how a seed gets planted. Thanks!
Good for him. Regardless how many days he has, he’s taken a very brave step to share his story on such a public and professional forum as LinkedIn. Perhaps he will encourage others to come forward and help shake of the sordid stigma that shrouds addiction - our industry has more than its fair share of addicts who could use a morale boost, certainly more than the 152 good souls supporting each other in this bowl.
It does make me cringe a little. He's still in the pink cloud, and AA has barely to put a booger on him. That said, it's his truth and in a general sense, I'm glad his voice is out there. With some years under my belt, I sometimes tend to downplay my decision -- "Oh, it was all in my 20s." No matter the reason, it's a good one.
I say...Big mistake. why on earth would someone does this to themselves. it is hard enough.
I think it’s rad
I haven’t read it fully but he also posted on SEAM (a sober advertising group on Facebook). I get nervous about people sharing early on in their sobriety because sometimes people get really excited and then burn out. But that’s none of my business. I think it’s cool that he’s sharing his experience because I’m sure a lot of folks in advertising and high up on the corporate ladder can relate. So no matter what happens (hope he takes it each day at a time and finds the freedom and happy destiny of recovery) I hope he planted a seed in others to perhaps get help if they need it!
