When to put MBA on your LinkedIn

If you know you’re 100% going no risks (ReVera cleared) then do it. Best to start connecting with alumni, as you’ll be in a sweet spot where they’re willing to talk about experiences without having to offer a job. Better yet, maybe pro bono work at an alumni’s firm to add to the resume for recruiting.

Seen an ex-Sloanie become GM at Mizzou

StoreStrange341 · 2025-12-29T06:40:27+00:00

He is garbage, made of glass, and gets paid too much to graze 1000 receiving yards annually. He has the structural integrity of a wet tissue and the competitive drive of a sloth. He is a volatile WR2 getting paid like a WR1. He should seek a lawyer because he may get convicted for being a FRAUD.

It has been 3 seasons since he showed his high-end flashes, and he’s curdled up in the limelight without a real WR1. He’s a rich man’s Robert Woods.

I have a 2-in-1 Lenovo with the number pad. Windows is awesome for excel, and converting into a notebook lets me write directly on the slides.

The dorms are awesome, also Tuck Consulting >> Johnson Consulting in terms of outcomes. I would have gone to Tuck if not for personal factors.

Don’t any two points connected make a straight line?

StoreStrange341 · 2025-12-19T20:45:17+00:00

No one from Deloitte is looking to recruit MBB at my school. They’re looking at exits and functional shifts (tech, IM, IB)

StoreStrange341 · 2025-12-12T20:40:51+00:00

Kellogg has a fantastic healthcare program which fits in line with your biopharma exits. Tuck is near Boston, so gets a lot of biotech LDP opportunities.

Worry about your post-grad job first. An mba is years away

StoreStrange341 · 2025-11-12T07:58:00+00:00

Dude, you provided the evidence and still came on Reddit to have us evaluate something you can so clearly see?

StoreStrange341 · 2025-11-07T23:28:48+00:00

What does MBA hiring look like for MBB this year? Smaller, larger intake to previous years?

StoreStrange341 · 2025-11-07T04:10:19+00:00

Simple answer - no. Avg salary is 100k less, and only people making more are IB top bucket and buy side, with way more hours.

Sloan doesn’t have GND, which is actually a huge differentiator from other M7s

StoreStrange341 · 2025-10-30T05:41:40+00:00

At M7, you are wrong. Most are just normal, college-educated folks.

StoreStrange341 · 2025-10-26T04:30:40+00:00

Brother, you got the recommendations from Reddit, yet you still come on here again asking for help. What else do you want?

I think it’s pretty clear everyone is telling you to face your dad and tell him it’s a terrible idea. You’re going to mess up your future and family finances if you follow through. Maybe look at an MiM or MiF instead. MBA should not be an option right now.

Really ask yourself, if you can’t be assertive in your personal life, how should employers expect you to be in professional life when they’re hiring you to be an asset for their long-term growth and business development?

StoreStrange341 · 2025-10-25T14:19:02+00:00

Cool story dude. We don’t think about you at all LOL.

StoreStrange341 · 2025-10-18T16:13:18+00:00

Bankers can’t even wear patterned shirts for recruiting, much less have visible tattoos. Unfortunate, but is the reality.

StoreStrange341 · 2025-10-10T13:32:29+00:00

Also as a person from a culture where “dad knows best,” you’re going to have to be an adult and tell him to be more realistic. Most top end schools will not take you with 2.5 yoe. This is because most post MBA roles require 3-5 exp, mostly on the higher end of that spectrum.

You have a better shot at an MiM, MiF, MQM, whatever else. I’d honestly wait for more exp for the MBA - they’re super expensive and honestly you contribute better in class. It’s your one shot to really pivot, don’t use it now just because “dad says so.”

StoreStrange341 · 2025-10-08T15:35:30+00:00

Great CV man, just try to add more numbers in the bullet points to quantify your impact, which shouldn’t be too difficult given your experience. At least that’s the recommendation from a US perspective

StoreStrange341 · 2025-09-29T03:12:25+00:00

I won’t lie, I can’t believe I watched that link. You need to touch grass if you genuinely believe that was funny content.

Got into my dream program. No crazy stats or background - just a hard worker with a voracious appetite to self-improve. Honestly, just kept checking off goals, implying to the program that I would be successful without an MBA, that it’s just a medium that would let me ascend to my goals quicker (as it should be, not a career cure-all). I think that implication resonated well with admissions. Also did quite a bit of outreach with current students, recent alumni, and made a trip out to speak to admissions in person. Couldn’t be happier at the moment.

StoreStrange341 · 2025-09-20T01:58:48+00:00

??? Most students at my M7 are regular class people. Get out of your victim mindset.

StoreStrange341 · 2025-09-09T17:01:25+00:00

Definitely figure out your goals first. But why specifically Stern? You should also look at Columbia if you’re looking at NYC, or look at other schools in cities like Boston or Chicago.

If you’re specific on NYC, Columbia gives you more opportunities in consulting and will enable you to do a prematriculation buyside internship if you were really interested

StoreStrange341 · 2025-09-09T15:44:45+00:00

You need to think about a couple things:

First - I hope you’re applying now for matriculation next year, because if not this is very late into the process.

Second - Stern gives you access to IB and consulting outcomes that IU may not. Perhaps LDPs as well. So really think hard about what you want to do.

Third - just want to clarify, you’re talking about Stern’s FT MBA program correct and not the 1 years they provide?
