connecting to the network

With strong support from Goizueta faculty members, I decided an entrepreneurial route would be more rewarding for me than a traditional career path. As a student, I was able to compete in industry-sponsored research and case competitions and interact with alumni to quickly grow my network of professional connections to validate my business model. The decision to start my own business was incredibly difficult given the risk, but having control of my professional and personal life is priceless.

Having worked in IT for almost six years, I wanted to move into finance in the pursuit of new challenges and better career prospects. I fully expected an uphill battle given that I had no prior professional experience in finance. After thorough research into various MBA programs, I became convinced that Emorys Evening MBA was by far my best bet. Not only did Goizueta boast outstanding finance professors, but the Emory Center for Alternative Investments served as a perfect opportunity to gain experience in the world of high finance. Owing to the top-notch training, invigorating classroom discussions, personalized attention, and strong network, I was able to transition into my dream job while still in school. Today I serve as a buy-side analyst for a $400 million global fixed income fund. What a difference my Emory MBA has made in my life.
