Explain to me the M7 MBA dudes traveling so much
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 27th, 2014 6:34 PM Author: Sepia bonkers base Naive as fuck but I have a few Facebook buds @ M7s for the first time and they keep writing shit, not flame, about being a "global citizen" and how they are going to all these different countries for like 2 weeks or a semester. I don't get the whole MBA culture so can someone explain? They are not Wharton or Harvard or something.
On one hand it seems like total consumption for the sake of trying to look prestigious. On the other hand is it for school purposes? I just don't get it. |
 |
Date: April 27th, 2014 6:37 PM Author: Apoplectic Stage first-year here. it's a combination of both. on one hand lot of M7 students are trying to make up for lost college years because they worked their butt off and worked demanding prestigous jobs afterwards. it's basically the chance for us geeks to be cool and live the life we deserve. so yes, a lot of it is about prestige and not missing out. much of our conversation revolves around recruiting, traveling, parties, and gossip. on the other hand, some of the trips are school sponsored (students still have to pay for it themselves), so these trips would combine sightseeing and partying with company visits and networking.

Date: April 27th, 2014 6:39 PM Author: Sepia bonkers base Does this "global citizen" thing (I've seen it like 5 times) not come across to these students as incredibly disconnected from our increasingly fucked over country? This one guy writes this shit and literally, I would be, 90% of his high school classmates can't even get jobs out of their hometown.
It's like these people are so happy to be even CONSIDERED among the elite that they want to push down the proles with their new image. Sad thing is that most of these people are not going to be elites, just 120K project managers |

In other countries access to elite schools and business jobs is decided by g loaded tests and those guys do just as good if not better than your. Your business acumen or whatever you want to call isn't fit to wipe my ass. |

yes, other countries have g loaded tests such as france, china, etc. but those countries all have shitty mba programs, and the best from all over the world KILL themselves to get into M7. |

M7 MBA helps you get good jobs, yes, but my point is that the business elites in those countries do fine without MBAs. MBAs in America are flame because their admissions process is a joke and they each you nothing. They serve as a way for UMC people to perpetuate their own wealth and power, nothing more. |

Only one of them really "made it" as he's a partner at a recognized VC fund (not top tier, but name is instantly recognizable). I don't know how legit his partnership his because post HBS he bounced (e.g. 1 to 1.5yr tenure) between several hot tech companies so whether or not he really is a true partner or not who knows. I seriously doubt the money he made off the IPOs is what he portrays because his tenure was so short and he joined so late he couldn't have vested much.
Another was on the track at an extremely well known global firm but then must have failed to get to partner level; now he's just you're typical "senior executive". Same can be said for a Kellog MBA (Kaufman fellow as well) friend who didn't make partner at his first VC fund and now habitually bounces around as an EIR.
Bottom line, I don't think being in this "club" is any sort of guarantee. The life post-MBA might start off looking glamorous as a new associate in VC or at MBB; but if you miss the cut along the way it's nothing special. |
