MBA Careers | Resources and Tools
T
he MBA degree can be a fantastic stepping stone to careers in a wide range of industries. It’s a good idea to explore new functions in areas that you’ve never been exposed to in your pre-MBA job.
In many MBA programs, specially the shorter duration ones (like the one year MBA), the recruitment process can start very earlier, in fact, in the first week itself. Rather than following the herd and ending up in a field that you don’t like, it’s important for you to get familiar with the world of MBA job opportunities.
However, with all the options available for MBA students, the confusion levels also increase. We’ve tried to add some clarity on the most popular jobs and career options for MBA students.
