Date: April 24th, 2013 1:47 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen he just barely got an offer for a 3 month internship at $25 per hour (he had to negotiate this up from the initial offer of $15 per hour) as an underwriter at an asset-based lending company. is he the typical MBA? i thought they had it better than lawyers.

Date: April 24th, 2013 1:53 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen his is like top 20-30 though, not M7 but still you would think you could get something better than an hourly 3 month job (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2238715&forum_id=2#23066943) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2013 1:54 PM Author: Smoky parlour 40% of non-elite MBAs graduate without a job lined up. This was true even when the economy was good.

Date: April 24th, 2013 1:55 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen i know very little about the mba job market. that's why i made this thread. i always thought it was better than law. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2238715&forum_id=2#23066964) |

Date: April 24th, 2013 1:54 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen not sure. he seems like a nice dude and fairly popular and active at his school. he had a very high GMAT but worked in a lab as a chemist which is apparently not valued work exp. & had only like a 3.0 gpa.

|
Date: April 24th, 2013 1:59 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen not really he's pretty confident in person. he would be considered really alpha compared to the vast majority of law students, but maybe that's a wash since he's competing against MBA students who are purportedly much better socially.

|
Date: April 24th, 2013 2:06 PM Author: concupiscible deer antler dopamine The number of USC and Gtown MBAs getting MBB or other consulting offers (Booz, Parthenon, Deloitte, Accenture, etc) dwarfs the number of law TTTs getting V100 offers. Even if you can't get a prestigious consulting gig then there is always F500 general management which pays alright. The op's friend probably sucked during interviews. Just look at the employment data from those schools. It's actually pretty good. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2238715&forum_id=2#23067050) |

Date: April 24th, 2013 2:07 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen "Just look at the employment data from those schools. It's actually pretty good."
... and employment data from law schools looks pretty good too |
|
Date: April 24th, 2013 2:12 PM Author: concupiscible deer antler dopamine Haven't seen it but does Brooklyn Law data look as decent as this http://msb.georgetown.edu/sites/msb/files/uploads/M12%2BEmployment%2BProfile%2BFINAL.pdf
And gtown is a crap MBA program with a poor alumni base. I bet a school like USC or UCLA or a school with strong regional ties is better. |

Date: April 24th, 2013 2:17 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen those #s could mean anything. what does "average" mean. if it means median then that is useless as median salary for law schools is still 160k at a lot of places but that's B.S. and the #s even admit that 25% of grads have NOTHING lined up. that doesn't seem that great to me.

Date: April 24th, 2013 2:07 PM Author: Demanding bossy indirect expression nursing home sounds like he also didn't hustle. MBA isn't about taking classes - it's about spending 2 years networking with recruiters/alums and hitting up every possible info session/happy hour possible. the people i know who approached it from day 1 ended up with something as long as they were realistic. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2238715&forum_id=2#23067061) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2013 2:09 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen nah he did hustle. we gchat daily and he always talked about some bullshit event he was going to that day and all the cold calls and other shit he does. he's taken tons of people out for lunch, etc. etc. he's been doing that from day 1. it's pretty sad.
i do think he was unrealistic. up until like a month ago he said he would rather be unemployed than take anything for less than $100k. |

Date: April 24th, 2013 2:24 PM Author: concupiscible deer antler dopamine Generally if you have shit work experience and shit interviewing/networking skills then an MBA won't do a damn thing for you, unless it's HSW.
You just can't get an MBB offer if you have shit off the cuff quant skills and/or aspie your way through the interviews. |
|
Date: April 24th, 2013 2:22 PM Author: Smoky parlour The percent of a class getting MBB, BB banking or HF/PE/VC is probably about the same as the percent of Brooklynlaw grads copping biglaw or federal clerkships (~10%). I agree that the outcomes from the MBA program would be better (compared to Brooklyn Law) as you move down the class. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2238715&forum_id=2#23067183) |

|
Date: April 24th, 2013 2:29 PM Author: concupiscible deer antler dopamine What school does he go to? Is there a strong alumni base? He should be hitting them up 24/7 until he lines up a real job. What did he do with his summer last year? Did he get no offered by his firm? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2238715&forum_id=2#23067240) |
|
Date: April 24th, 2013 2:33 PM Author: peach bbw kitchen He worked as a treasury analyst for a pharmaceutical company, but they ultimately decided they didn't have the funds to hire any of the summers who worked there, or at least that's what he was told.
He does hit up alums all the time. He goes to lunch with diff alums like at least twice a week. |
