What are the advantages of living in Atlanta while pursuing your MBA?

Atlanta is home to so many large companies, I think it is shocking to people not from here when they learn how many companies have headquarters in the metro Atlanta area. Not only is this favorable for recruiting, it also gives us the opportunity to connect with many companies through class visits, projects, and networking events. Aside from the excellent job prospects, Atlanta has something for everyone. There are a ton of great restaurants, museums, and festivals that you will quickly wonder where all your free time went. Also, not having to deal with snow is pretty great.

What are some opportunities outside the classroom to gain leadership experience?

There are so many ways to get involved as a leader, and more than half of our class holds a leadership position in some form! You can serve as an elected leader for clubs or committees or lead your practicum groups as you work on a real-world project with local businesses. All the leadership opportunities give you the ability to practice your leadership skills in a small scale and safe environment, while also getting to network with professionals and alumni.

What's your favorite thing about the program?

You can tailor this program to get whatever you want out of it. I've gotten to work on teams with people with very diverse backgrounds, play on intramural teams, serve as a student leader through GBC, and travel to conferences across the country — and I'm only halfway done with the program! I knew I wanted to get more involved my second time around at Georgia Tech, and I don't think a day goes by where I am not attending a lunch and learn, meeting for a case competition, or attending one of our many social events.

What is the value of the program to you?

The ROI is so high at Georgia Tech, I knew I could easily make up the cost in a few years. The manageable tuition costs, opportunities for funding, and high average starting salaries made the decision to take two years off of work a very wise investment in my career.

The Jones MBA Career Center advisors work with MBA students to turn their dreams into reality. The MBA career coaches are keenly aware of the changing interests of job-seeking MBA candidates and the evolving needs of MBA employers.

In addition to college recruiting expertise, Georgia Tech's MBA Career Services team has a wide range of corporate experience and team members have served in various career development, human resources, and management roles at industry-leading companies. We are consistently ranked as a top 10 MBA program in the nation for MBA career placement as a result of the hard work of our MBAs on their job search and the corporate experience of our career services staff.
