We all Canadians should meet up sometime 
Good for networking if nothing else.

Its not an intern who had the MBA, it was a new “associate” who will end up getting a manager role. I think we should definitely meet up. Can’t hurt.
brutal. and we have yet to hear a real success story. makes you second-guess the value of an mba, cfa, masters, and even undergrad.
i recently completed my MBA, one of my classmates was a part time student, SVP of an asset mangement firm, he introduced me to someone. Got a job, start in March
i stand corrected. one real success story. back office? front office? what exaclty is the job? i am assuming you graduated last may/june, it took you about ~7 months to get this job? just curious, not trying to be a d—, i just think if you elaborated it might help others with their search.

I will be doing mainly research. eventually they would like to see me interacting with the clients the people who have found employment in my cohort are the ones who have networked and tapped the ‘hidden job market’. applying to job postings just way too hard.
