Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Looking back, I feel that those intense weeks of travel and networking helped me become a better investment banking candidate.

Getting an internship in tech was no easy journey, even with a tech background.

Because of the sense of community Fuqua generates, successful alumni aim to give back.

As a 12-year veteran of Fuqua’s Career Management Center and a Daytime MBA alumnus myself, I take great pride in how we support our students’ career searches. Throughout the program, we help students navigate recruiting while also preparing them for the career journey they’ll experience years after graduation.

Our 2022 graduates have once again proven their agility and resilience. After all, they began their Duke MBA journey at the height of the pandemic, when almost everything about the business school experience had to be adapted to keep everyone safe.

Most of us have at least a couple of misplaced notions about going to b-school. Here are some of mine about Fuqua that have been busted during my time here!

Here are some of the key takeaways and my thoughts from the 2021 employment report on what’s behind the shifts and trends.  

Before coming to business school, I worked in the largest bank in Brazil. Choosing to enroll at the Fuqua School of Business, my goals were to achieve hands-on experience at a company where tech was the core business.

I came to business school with many goals for my personal and professional development, but my career goal was singular: I was going to get a job in consulting.

It was Fuqua that helped me mature. I feel not only prepared but excited for the next chapter.
