At MBACareers.com we asked our viewers: What do you know now that you
wish you had known when you chose your career/profession? Here's some
Real life advice from MBAs!
- Formal business acumen is important
- Go back to graduate school earlier
- Have excellent financial management skills, as your backbone.
Critical thinking is essential.
- I married an MBA colleague, we both had high-powered jobs, but
when he had the opportunity to move overseas and run a division, I gave
up my job. It was the only decision at the time, but now we are
separating and he's on the fast track, and I'm starting at mid-level
again.. Somehow if you are a woman, you must remember to look out for
yourself--even if you are in love, smart, and have a great job.
- Learn to lead, and observe and absorb the professional skill that
aren't taught in college.
- To diversify my skills and keep updated on new technology trends.
- Adapt to trends, new markets and opportunities - understand and
embrace the fact that change is a constant.
- How much I would have to travel and that it is Required
- Develop a network of professionals in all fields. Recognize the
skills you have are transferable.
