Why did you choose to pursue an MBA?

With 10 years of experience working in various industries and roles within IT, I realized that as I grew in my career I needed an MBA to open up more opportunities. My plan was to use my MBA to balance out my technical background in order to leverage my analytical skills in not just technical roles, but also business roles.

Why did you choose the Georgia Tech MBA program over other MBA programs?

The network! One of the critical aspects of an MBA is the networking component. At Tech, not only do you to get a great education from phenomenal staff, but you also are able to build an amazing network. It’s really hard to do that if you are on a satellite campus.

Did you worked with the Jones MBA Career Center?

I utilized the Jones MBA Career Center by participating in the career workshops, on-campus and off-campus recruiting events, career advice, and coaching. It was a lot of work to get prepared for the job search, and it was even more work to actually do the job search, but I ended up with seven amazing offers. As a career changer, I must admit that I was very nervous, but I stuck with the plan that we formed in the career workshop, remained diligent in my search for opportunities, and kept in contact with career services if I ran into any issues. This was one of the best aspects of the program.
