Uhhh...yikes. What's your take on this? I'd say tt’s a harsh reminder that the degree alone doesn’t guarantee a dream job—networking and experience matter just as much, if not more.

I’d say I’m a bit surprised that Kellogg took someone with that background. Possible they inflated their hopes of getting a job and they missed important milestones. People with non traditional backgrounds don’t always do well in M7, especially if they don’t have connections.

Not in this market

How did that person get into an M7, especially given their experience. Something must have impressed the admissions team?? It just proves that an MBA isn’t magic, you need the correct experience going into an MBA to succeed.

I definitely have that take away from it OP. Sometimes it really does not matter where you get your degree and especially now when they seem to care more about your experience than your education. Its sad beause of the amount of money that people pay to get these degrees at big fancy schools only to struggle to find a job.

Therapists be warned… 3 SLPs have sued this company in the last year because of unethical management & supervisory practices by the owner. They also tend to “bait & switch” or make lots of promises they can’t keep. Get everything in writing because they often do the bait and switch with benefits. Ask to see the employee handbook before accepting offer and read the fine print RE benefits. A later career profession who can stay under the owner’s radar could be ok at this job.
