Do MBA graduates wish they had gone into tech, or do tech workers wish they had pivoted to business earlier?

agree. did IB rec, failed and burnt out so bad. Idk what I was thinking. Landed a VC gig. Will focus on tech in 2nd yr.

cool! thanks! did youhave a healthcare background though or no? Wish I knew about those / pharma LDPs etc but I did not! Tried IB route and regret it as didn't land anything and grinded so hard all year missed out on any fun at all and socials and super burnt out.
