($) Using those MBA employment reports (international applicant edition)

November 19, 2019 by EssaySnark - Discusses Darden Leave a Comment

MBA employment reports! Such a rich resource to mine in your research on schools! You are hopefully already doing this, but most of you, based on our experience working with many BSers over time, we’re guessing, you’re probably not. Say you’re interested in coming to the United States for bschool, in order to stay here […]

($) “I’m just gonna say ‘consulting’ as my MBA goals.”

November 8, 2019 by EssaySnark - Discusses Darden Leave a Comment

And heck, we wouldn’t blame ya! Darden recently reported an all-time high starting salary coming from its 2019 graduating class , to the tune of $152k plus bonus. That’s likely skewed by one person’s $173k base — always be sure to question headlines like that. The numbers from Darden with that outlier salary excluded are […]

($) Are you proposing too big of a change?

October 16, 2019 by EssaySnark

Most applicants to business school want to change careers. Bschool is an ideal vehicle for that. Most bschools want to hear about your plans to change careers in your essays. Crafting a solid set of goals is one of the most important steps you can take in building a strong application. There are many ways...

($) Which bschool you go to matters FOR YOUR FIRST JOB ONLY

October 9, 2019 by EssaySnark

OK, well maybe not “only” – but primarily. Don’t believe us? Check out this passage from someone who recruits senior execs:   Things I rarely pay attention to [when scanning a resume] Education: In the last month alone, having viewed hundreds of resumes, I honestly don’t remember looking at this section once. When I used...

($) “Is 30 too old…?”

June 4, 2019 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

We came across this awhile back: “Is 30 too old to work in a startup?” Hmmmm. If there’s a bias against “older” in startup recruiting, and “older” is defined as over 30, and there’s already a bias against MBAs in Silicon Valley… Peter Thiel and Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg have all been on the […]

($) The BSer’s Dilemma: Deciding between two top MBA programs (international student)

January 8, 2019 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Choosing between 2 MBA programs means you need to look at ROI, cost, location, tuition, financial aid – getting accepted is only half the battle, it seems! Let’s talk through some example cases.

What salary can you expect if you want to go work at a startup?

February 7, 2017 by EssaySnark - Discusses Chicago Booth Leave a Comment

Short answer: Much less than what your peers graduating with MBAs into consulting and finance are making. Scary answer: Maybe not any more than you’re making today??? Here’s some information captured in a tiny-ass footnote towards the end of the Chicago Booth Class of 2016 Employment Report : Accepted offers in these functions include graduates […]

($) Miscellaneous thoughts on the economy, MBA salaries and jobs.

January 11, 2016 by EssaySnark

Apologies up front: This post is kinda like some of the essays we see from you people. It’s a little rambling, very unstructured, and not actually saying much. It’s also way too long. But we’re still gonna post it. 😉 A recent comment from a former BSer about tuition inflation at Harvard made us realize...

The downside of going straight to an MBA

April 11, 2012 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

If you’re interested in going straight from college to bschool, one thing you should know is that you’re not likely to make the big bucks that your peers will when you graduate. GMAC (the GMAT people) recently reported on starting salaries for graduates coming out of bschool, broken down by years of work experience they […]
