A Happy Ending to my MBA....
So the last term of my MBA was a hectic rush of fun, pressure and fond memories. Going on job interviews and trips, took around 1 flight every week in the last 16 weeks that taking planes and waiting at airport has became usual. The last term and my stint in Graduate House where I stayed allowed me to strengthen many friendships and forged new ones.
Job search was filled with ups and downs. Got turned down for a job I was keenly pursuing and ended getting turned down but the company came back with two other offers which I was initially very excited about in Corporate Strategy. Then when I came back for the meeting, the vibe just did not suit me.
Next job was another one which I was keen about but I did not graduate in time as they needed someone immediately.
Somehow, luck was on my side and I receive a JD and request for application for a job from MBS career services. I applied crack a case study, video flimed it, went to Hong Kong for a interview that lasted from 8am -9 pm. And I got it. It was truly what I desired, the region, the job description, everything.
The MBA has been a journey of self discovery. Hard work- definitely. Friends, Fun and NEtworking galore if you are inclined. It stretches your limits and open your eyes to new things, new experiences. No one I knew in my class ever regretted the experience and neither do I.
The happy ending and a fruitful job search has capped off one of the most wonderful periods and experience in my life. And for my few readers, I hope you too find what you are looking for.
I still may update the blog from time to time, just to for my own referrence, but you are welcome to check back. :)
Next Stop for work: Hong Kong!!
