The opportunity to experience two diverse economies and the accelerated duration of the program were the two major factors in my decision. Having had work experience after undergrad, I did not want my master’s degree to take too long but still wanted something that would equip me with the relevant business tools to start my own venture or have success in a dynamic role in an organization.
I worked at PwC for about a year. I knew that to accelerate my growth I not only needed to keep working hard but also have the relevant managerial skills. I now have a much broader understanding of various business issues and can do a more thorough analysis of the problem at hand.
I am currently working on a couple of entrepreneurial ideas. If I am able to successfully execute those ideas, I will start working on them full-time. If not, I’ll take the entrepreneurial route via consulting as it will expose me to various industries and strengthen my skills at solving problems.
Ines Black teaches strategy and is one of my favorite professors at Fuqua because of the content she chose for her course and the way she delivered it. We were expected to read and analyze business cases based on strategy frameworks that she taught us. The cases were very relevant and taught us different ways to approach a problem. They allowed us to be in the shoes of a C-suite executive and actually make decisions.
