Virtual Bonanza

Experience during the program

Now that I’m one year out and at the rosy shades of a 70% virtual experience (sarcasm) have waned, I figured it was time to write up a review.

I recruited for a number of industries, and found the school’s network, but perhaps more predominantly the location, to be invaluable. There are subsets of opportunities only found at NY schools by nature of being in the city. Recruiting for the common career paths is well structured and is ran in tandem with student clubs. I am currently on the buyside and found that the overall brand compares very favorably to peer schools (SOM, Tuck, etc.).

The faculty and teaching quality is second to none and probably the hidden gem of the program. There are the most Nobel laureates on faculty of any MBA program and the classes were phenomenal. You can cross list 15+ credits with other schools which was something I readily took advantage of. Of course, the overall value add that you get out of this may be minimal in the grand scheme of things, since MBAs are all about those superficial two-minute conversations. In all seriousness, I was able to make a few close friends, but definitely did miss out a bit because of a global pandemic.

So, in the end, great MBA.
