Monday, October 25, 2004 Week in Atlanta I returned this saturday from the Week in Atlanta visit to the consulting firms. It was a good trip, as we got to meet firms in their offices and meet more people. We had a chance to meet firms that dont come to campus as well. Besides, the 38 of us who went there had a good time. It felt good, with no time pressures for studies and just chilling out in Atlanta. Well, all the fun part is gonna be less from tommorow, the start of Term 2. This term is one of the toughest I believe. We have Finance, Marketing, Accounting and "Informing and Influencing Business Audiences". I exempted out of Basic Accounting course and am enrolled into Corporate Financial Reporting. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 9:06 AM | Tuesday, October 19, 2004 Term 1 is over In no time, Term 1 got over. Now is the time to sit back and work on job search. As I mentioned earlier, I start for Atlanta to visit consulting firm offices. Networking is crucial in any type of job-search. Its degree of importance varies on job by job. In consulting, it will get the foot in the door. It helps to show firms your interest in their firm, and will help in making to the "closed list" ( people who are invited for interviews). After that it is all case interviews. Whereas in Finance, Investment Banking type of job, networking is more than a foot in the door. The firms usually make up their mind based on the networking. Term 2 begins next week. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 6:04 PM | Monday, October 11, 2004 Week 6 arrives and so do Finals Its like sitting in a supersonic Jet plane. The time flys by at Fuqua. It was just recently, that I started the classes and its already time for finals. Here are some of my early impressions . I love the fact that Wednesday is an off-day for us, so we can catch up with classes and homework. The Fuqua Fridays are a great time for all of us to relax with beer and food. We get to spend a lot of time in late nights parties and other club activities all through the week. Like all MBA courses, we have a lot of breadth to cover in our courses. The workload is average for all of the courses. Most of the faculty are very friendly, and lot of them participate in our fun activities. We had our Managerial Effectiveness professor singing 'Baby got Back' at the First Year Karaoke Night. :) I have my exams on 13th, 14th and 15th October. After that I have plans to go to "Week in Atlanta" and meet up with Consulting firms. posted by Ravi Trivedi | 8:03 AM | |
