How did the BC part-time MBA support your career pivot?
The ability to pair the part-time MBA with the MS in Finance gave me a solid foundation in finance, while the MBA helped me strengthen my soft skills, especially in communication and collaboration. These were key to my career pivot from my role as an economist in the public sector to consulting.
Were there specific courses that played a role in your transition?
Courses like Edith Hotchkiss’s Bankruptcy and Restructuring and Samuel Hartzmark’s Behavioral Finance struck a great balance between academic research and real-world application—and both professors are excellent lecturers and researchers. I also found Agnieszka Kierner’s management courses valuable for developing my leadership and communication skills.
How did the Carroll School Career Development Office support your career search?
It was an incredible resource. The Career Development team not only provided excellent resume guidance and interviewing strategies, but also facilitated crucial alumni connections. I found alumni, classmates, and professors generous with their time and happy to share their experiences during coffee chats, which proved to be an invaluable part of my career search.
What advice would you give to other part-time MBA students who are considering a career change?
If you can, graduating in the spring gives you the opportunity to take advantage of fall recruiting. Also, BC offers a lot of resources. Finding the ones that fit your goals can make a big difference and is a fun way to connect with the community.
