MBA..Admit

Finally....got through the admission process and bagged an offer at HULT business school boston.

FT ranks the school at 94 this year... its not as bad as it sounds... you wont end up at Mckinsey after the degree for sure..but nevertheless... you ll get a chance to meet the best faculty one can offer.

As i hear the Alumni network isnt that great and career services division isnt something they are gonna boast... and even though they are making some good progress in that regard, i dont see much of a change happening in just one year. Many of the 2009 pass outs didnt end up with a job... and I most probably face the same music next year.. with recession mostly still in effect.

Am i nervous?. No .. I am excited. I want to face the challenge... I finally got the confidence that i can do it...and will do what ever it takes to bring some change to my life and lives of others..

I am going to join the program this September. wish me luck..!


Obssessed

I never thought I would say this... But i actually like this place and i m seriously considering to get back to this place to work after my MBA. There is just too much potential out here and there is a serious crunch of expertise in various industries.

If i can still consider me as a chemical engineer then i can very much get in to some of the petroleum industries in here. I wish i had made some local contacts around here.. i only a few guyz..and they are just amazing.

I believe most of the fellows in middle east are expected to be arrogant and rude..but the people out here are very warm and friendly. Exactly a month back i was dying to get out of this place...and now i just dont feel like going....

It's exactly the same as living in india and above that... u dont have to hear the dirty politics that happen around everyday... peaceful life... King's rule... awesome beaches...wonderful foood... and dont even get me started about the salaries they get for the kind of jobs they do..

Here we get paid for 14 months...for just 10 months of work. They get bonus..no matter what..!! thats insane..and even a normal software guy of my age..roams around in a carvette... other guy drives a BMW 5 series...

I can quite clearly say now...i m obsessed with this place...and it ll become a little difficult for me to let go of this wonderful memories..

PS: Hookah with a coffee on a beach side ..watching football on giant screen.... with phirangi chicks..!! Its just tooooo brilliant..!!
