1st year HBS student, taking questions
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 28th, 2010 12:01 AM Author: beady-eyed learning disabled nursing home I did a HBS question thread back in july or so. classes don't start until next week, but i've been in boston for more than a week, hanging out with classmates, and figuring out where everything is. just got back from dinner and drinks and pretty exhausted but will take questions for about 30 minutes.

Date: August 28th, 2010 12:36 AM Author: beady-eyed learning disabled nursing home i hear you. classes haven't even started yet, but the amount of striving and networking is incredible. i sort of dread the whole internship interview process, which starts right away when companies flood the HBS campus.
people are pretty accomplished and interesting though. i could definitely see myself making a lot of friends here. and boston is growing on me even though i'm a west coast guy. |

|
Date: August 28th, 2010 12:31 AM Author: beady-eyed learning disabled nursing home i think they're both about 5 years.
from my understanding, there is some interaction. some of the Phd students are TA's for the second-year electives. and i think DBA accouting students who don't have MBA's have to take the first semester required MBA courses. |

Would Bill Gates go back for an MBA? How about Larry Ellison? Zuckerberg going to take the GMAT so he can get into Wharton business? |
|
Date: August 28th, 2010 4:26 PM Author: charcoal church turdskin certain fields like private equity, banking, strategy, management, virtually require an MBA to get ahead.

|
Date: August 28th, 2010 4:47 PM Author: mint cracking alpha Then they aren't "legit superstars." A superstar wouldn't need or want to go back to SCHOOL to get more education if they're already pwning the fuck out of everyone (which is what superstars do). Your "legit superstar" friends are just very good, but not great.
Think these guys are going back for MBAs? Hmmm... http://www.blackstone.com/cps/rde/xchg/bxcom/hs/firm_ourpeople_3801.htm http://www.blackstone.com/cps/rde/xchg/bxcom/hs/firm_ourpeople_3837.htm |

HTFH. |
|
Date: August 28th, 2010 4:54 PM Author: mint cracking alpha I don't give a fuck about where someone worked. What did they do while there, how much value did they add? If they're back in school for an MBA, they obviously weren't THAT good to the point of cruising straight to MD/Partner level (as a result of being THAT good and valuable to the company).

|
Date: August 28th, 2010 4:55 PM Author: charcoal church turdskin you don't care where they worked, and yet you posted profiles of guys at blackstone. lol.
also, those guys graduated college back in the 90's when PE firms did not require you to go to business school. that has changed now. i know for a fact that blackstone requires their pre-MBA analysts and associates to go to b-school. |
|
Date: August 28th, 2010 4:58 PM Author: mint cracking alpha Nothing is required if you're truly THAT good. Why would a firm care about you taking MBA classes if you're truly THAT FUCKING GOOD and make the company MILLIONS OR BILLIONS in profit? LOL C'mon man.
Pretty sure no PE, VC, or whatever firm would require a top producer to head back to school for a fucking graduate degree. Sorry.
Those guys might be superstars relative to their peers of the same age, but they aren't superstars in general (otherwise, they'd be enjoying their $5+ million bonus instead of taking an elective at HBS). |

|
Date: August 28th, 2010 5:14 PM Author: charcoal church turdskin top PE firms require MBA's nowadays. can't speak for the way it was back in the 90's.
going to HBS is an amazing experience, one that you cannot duplicate with money. the network, prestige, etc., are all immensely valuable. |
|
Date: August 28th, 2010 5:18 PM Author: mint cracking alpha You're not explaining why an MBA is necessary if you're already generating huge profits for your company (which is what superstars do).
1. Why would your company want you to take 2 years off if you're such a superstar and top producer? 2. If you're such a superstar, why would you want to head back to school and miss out on 2 years of 7-8-9 figure income? 3. If you're a superstar, why aren't you already making 7-8 figures a year (superstars make 7-8-9 figures)? |
|
Date: August 28th, 2010 5:24 PM Author: charcoal church turdskin if you're a superstar trader, yes, an MBA is not necessary. but for PE, banking, strategy, general management, and a number of other fields, an MBA from a top school teaches "soft" business skills that one cannot easily learn at work. and the pedigree and network are extremely valuable.
it's pretty clear that you don't know much about top b-schools or the type of people who go there. |
|
Date: August 28th, 2010 5:27 PM Author: mint cracking alpha Yea, that's why many successful people in PE, banking, strategy, and management have done very well without an MBA.
As I said, it's not really necessary. |
|
Date: August 28th, 2010 5:27 PM Author: trip genital piercing Is that the lawyer coming out in you? Pretty obnoxious anti b-school trolling. Granted if we're going off of your definition of superstar (Gates, Zuckerberg, etc) then yeah those guys are managing their businesses, and aren't worried about the MBA connections/prestige. Plenty of top, valued employees of PE and VC firms plus IB and MBB types go to HBS and return to their companies with no debt (firm paid for the MBA) and a promotion. That's becoming the standard actually. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1407724&forum_id=2#15905744) |

Date: August 28th, 2010 5:29 PM Author: mint cracking alpha I'm all for b-school, but don't sit here and tell me about this superstar or that superstar.

|
Date: August 29th, 2010 3:55 PM Author: beady-eyed learning disabled nursing home i only know a few harvard JD/MBA's. they're pretty impressive. one guy i met just graduated this year; he was a marshall scholar, spoke at Davos, launched a bunch of initiatives, internships at prestigious buyside firms.
every JD/MBA I talked to said their MBA experience and network were far more valuable than the JD part. And virtually all of them want to stay in business. I have no idea why they did a JD, but their interests lie in both areas, and they weren't quite sure what their career goals were, so they just did both. |

Date: August 30th, 2010 1:28 PM Author: Gold flickering hospital Subject: vs. Stanford GSB Did you consider the Stanford GSB (I think it has less than a 7% acceptance rate)? What do you and your classmates think of your counterparts on the West Coast? HBS and the Stanford GSB are widely considered the two best Business Schools in the Country (and U.S. News has ranked them that way for literally two decades now--exchanging the top spot every few years), and I think both boast greater than 75% yields (which is amazing), and just about split equally their cross-admits. In contrast, both Harvard and Stanford win virtually all of their cross-admit battles with Wharton. So, basically, when do you think someone should choose HBS and when do you think someone should choose the Stanford GSB (if they were to have that luxury)? I've met grads from each school, and virtually to a person, they were all exceedingly accomplished and impressive. Thoughts?

Date: August 31st, 2010 12:50 AM Author: beady-eyed learning disabled nursing home i applied to stanford, it was my first choice but got rejected after interview. i'm originally from the west coast and worked in L.A. before coming here. i really like stanford's culture, and since i want to go back to the west coast it made sense to go there. unfortunately, they did not want me. they're insanely selective but look for different types of applicants from HBS. the latter goes for your typical smart kid who did well in college and then worked for a "brand" name, whether it's an i-bank, hedge fund, PE, MBB consulting, general management, etc. Stanford loves going for non-traditional folks like those who did non-profit, started their own company, etc.
In general, if someone is fortunate enough to get into both, they should pick HBS if they want to go into any area of finance except venture capital, or they want to work abroad and want to use the harvard name to maximize their impact. |

Date: September 1st, 2010 6:02 PM Author: beady-eyed learning disabled nursing home if you're at stanford and want MBB consulting or banking, you could easily get it. the disadvantage comes from the fact that a lot of east coast buyside shops don't formally recruit at stanford, but that's most likely due to the fact that it's so far away, rather than the quality of the school.

Date: August 31st, 2010 4:29 PM Author: motley milk stage Are you and many of your classmates planning to go into finance? The reason I ask is because it's a sweet contrary indicator, ie the less HBS students head to Wall St, the better the markets tend to do.

also do you think the best employers grab the resume book knowing 850 kids don't have a chance, but it's a necessary evil to see the 50 kids that might make their cut? |

Date: August 31st, 2010 5:55 PM Author: trip genital piercing Of course. Employers can only higher so many people (obviously) and many at HBS aren't good fits for careers in PE, IB, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1407724&forum_id=2#15932318) |

Date: September 1st, 2010 6:04 PM Author: beady-eyed learning disabled nursing home i don't think class size dilutes the brand.
yes, a lot of private equity firms and hedge funds will look through the resume book, visit campus, but only hire a few people at most. |
