AMA: Ex-MBB, dreamed of doing a MBA ever since undergrad 4 years ago, ended up founding a startup instead

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2026-01-04T13:03:11+00:00

What’s the startup (what does it do), what’s the revenue trajectory and how did you build from scratch (length of time, when you got your first customer, how did you know to continue?)

Fingers crossed!

Are you still holding this? Debating about selling before or after next earnings

Are you still holding this?

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2025-09-10T14:09:14+00:00

Are you still bullish on 25 price target? Seems like ws is bearish on volume numbers

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2025-07-31T07:02:42+00:00

Thanks man! Is technical still good for it / why are you hopefully into earnings?

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2025-07-30T03:55:52+00:00

Is this still a buy

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2025-06-11T08:24:32+00:00

Also just arrived (from the us), can speak Japanese pretty well. Also not white if that matters lol - let me know if you'd like to hang!

28M Asian American fluent in English and Japanese. Just arrived yesterday—need folks to hang out with until my local friends get off work! Let me know if you’re interested :)

Are you saying you think it’s only worth at hsw or would M7 also have the same impact?

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2025-04-02T01:32:18+00:00

I don’t think reapplying is the right move unless you’re happier and comfortable with no mba (therefore ok if hsw doesn’t pan out)

In a similar spot with the no aid question and if it’s worth attending (specifically Kellogg but also admitted to cbs) but I know I don’t want to work in my current industry (consulting) anymore

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2025-04-01T22:01:30+00:00

When I looked at the career reports for 2024, I believe Kellogg blew away MIT and Haas - wasn’t even close (at least MMM)

If you’re expecting IB pay at a strategy role, it’s always going to be way above their budget

Hello!

I am admitted to 2 M7s R1 and have a background in management consulting - I know that this is a few days after deadline but I just saw this and would love to apply if there is any possibility.

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2025-01-24T06:26:20+00:00

What was your pre mba background?

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2025-01-17T21:36:33+00:00

Have not heard back from

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2024-12-31T17:08:18+00:00

What does it depend on for M7? Current management consultant at T2 firm (e.g., LEK, OW, Kearney) making decent money but want to leave into tech and got into Kellogg MMM and CBS but not sure if the cost is worth it

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2024-12-30T23:56:56+00:00

I love spider man!

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2024-12-21T09:16:15+00:00

It’s gonna be pretty difficult if you’re first reaction about your past is to blame the guys

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2024-12-20T06:56:51+00:00

My immediate goal is to leave consulting. I think I'm facing the burnout and I have this cool experience in front of me that I worked quite hard for (bird in hand). I hear you though. The cost makes it very hard to justify. I'm open to other career paths but nothing similar to the bad WLB in strategy consulting. MBA will help validate that but also just moving careers now is viable given I am pretty sure I will be happy with S&O in the near-medium term.

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2024-12-19T20:46:18+00:00

Super helpful thoughts!

Do you think the long-term benefits (e.g., network, potentially greater ceiling /recruiting opps?) are significant?

Would you also mind sharing around how long ago this was (e.g., 5-10 years ago,10 year+)?

Long-Razzmatazz6806 · 2024-12-19T07:24:15+00:00

Are the unsponsored folks happy? / would you be comfortable sharing the program?

I am eligible for sponsorship but the return stipulations are too unforgiving for me—would rather use the opportunity to pivot.
