Experience during the program

I think the school guanrantees you one of the following : your dream job ; a great network; or unparalleled partying. Where people go wrong is trying to attain all three. Pick one and you will get it!

Classmates were very nice and smart. Never really encountered the Harvard stereotype.

The classes were interesting but don’t expect to get specialized knowledge such as accounting , modeling, or deep supply chain knowledge. Harvard Business School focuses more on teaching you how to think and problem solve, which coincidentally the skill I use the most at work now.

Even at a top tech company, many of my coworkers struggle to understand problems from a director’s level but reading 10,000 case studies allows you to hone the practice.
