The MBA is just a piece of paper to present to your future employer, showing that you have managed to do more tasks than an undergraduate and paid to do those tasks. It shows you are a good boy, ready to roll over. I can tell you that because I did an MBA.

I have approximately 5 years of experience, with 3 years overlapping my bachelor's degree, during which I worked as an electrical product supplier. I have a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and have been working since I was 18. Do you think Ivy League schools would consider my work experience to be valuable??

I’m not familiar with colleges in India, but as a freshman you have a LONG time before you need to apply for MBAs. You’ll need to work for 3-4 years after you graduate before even applying to schools, and who knows that the world will look like by then. What could be true 7 years from now is (1) did you have good grades, and (2) what professional experiences would you bring to the program? Make sure to get internship experiences to line up some good jobs post grad or even start your own business.

Seems like cons far exceed the pros, it seems like if u already have a solid career path (ivy league undergrad -> some prestigious companies) already, MBA is basically no use but just taking 2 years off to take a break and say you somewhat changed where it could have been done without
@PatrickPrommel Жыл бұрын
Yeah if you have a prestigious undergrad where you made strong connections and solid career path (in MBA world e.g. PE) a lot of pros are redundant. So if you’re designation oriented, not so helpful. If you’re journey oriented, would say still helpful

Thanks for the direct delivery and truth in your video. I recently transitioned to a sales role selling homes on a local real estate team. Do you think an MBA is worth it if you are already someone who is a really good networker? Like are there other ways to build this equivalent network without going through the MBA?
@PatrickPrommel Жыл бұрын
Agree there are other ways to build the network - question is will you execute to the same degree. For argument sake, you’d need to try to meet at least 400 high quality (professionally-speaking) people in the next two years. In addition to meet, you need to foster them so that they’re actually meaningful enough (I.e. one coffee chat won’t build connection strong enough). The MBA makes it easy, because you’re full-time networking, and even weaker connections have a back-up bond (“we went to school together”) Tim Ferris approached it differently- look up the Tim Ferris MBA

@PatrickPrommel Жыл бұрын
I don’t know much about PhD programs or the why behind your goal, but assuming based on mentioning of “super reputable”, you’re interested in the prestige. Harvard is undoubtedly best brand in education, so more people will be impressed with that. However, let’s say you manage to get PhD under Adam Grant at Wharton… I’d argue no better opportunity than that.

Hi Patrick, Thank you so much for your sharing 🎉. I am considering getting an MBA for job opportunities. I am moving to the US with bachelor degree from another country. Part of the video, you mentioned that if I knew exactly what I wanted for career, there are faster and cheaper ways than MBA. Could you share with me some ideas for what those ways are. Plus, any advice for my situation? Thank you so much for your kindness! 🎉

Yes let’s say you wanted to get into Venture Capital - you could start reaching out to 100 VCs for informational interviews, start posting online about VC and building up a portfolio/reputation, get an internship that leads to a job etc. I’ve seen this happen successfully - no MBA needed to do all this. And if you did get an MBA to try to get into VC you’d likely still have to do the same exercise. However MBA obviously helps with visa situations if you want to be in the US depending on what your immigration status is (which I’m no expert on)
@ms.chapionghanhcungchame1144 Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for your respond. I really appreciate your suggestions. For my case, I don’t concern about the visa part, just building up career there with bachelor degree from non-US university. So what you are saying is I could look for internship which could leads to job. Is that correct? I wonder if I will have higher opportunity to have internship after MBA and higher opportunities to climb up the career ladder with MBA. Thank you very much!!!🎉

I would venture to say most people are still working on their test scores as they work with consultants, so answer is no. Also take whichever test you’re going to get a higher percentile score on (take practice tests of both). What test you take is not as important as how high you score.

How would you view it as someone coming from a non business background? I went to Upenn undergrad but I regret my major choices and I think a career change interests me. Would the academics take over the social aspect? I dont mean to ask how hard are classes but would having to learn everything business wise take all my time?
@PatrickPrommel Жыл бұрын
Classic it depends answer. You’re probably pretty smart, so might be easier for you to learn new business topics and therefore not really infringe on social life. OR you could struggle on some topics (e.g. if you have a hard time with math and you’re in finance/accounting/stats courses). The good thing is that since grades don’t really matter, you can see how much academics are taking a toll on you and decide to try less hard if needed.

Any thoughts on MBA Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Major? Do you know anyone who has done it? I am considering it to pivot to consulting in those areas but, like yourself, I also value 'the journey', exploring and learning.
@PatrickPrommel Жыл бұрын
“Major’s” in MBA’s don’t really mean anything. The MBA is a generalist degree intended not to be focused on one topic, but of course you can take as more classes on one topic if you’d like. I don’t know anyone who has done DEI major at Wharton (it’s brand new). It might help your application if they are struggling to fill seats for the major as I’m sure they want it to succeed, but honestly wouldn’t bet on any future career opportunities based on the major.
