Duke Daytime MBA Student Blog

Every student interested in technology asks the same question: “Should I have a tech background to work in the industry?” And the answer is “No!”

We co-founded the Duke MBA FinTech Club in the Spring of 2018, with the goal of fostering a community passionate about financial technology at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and to create an ecosystem that supports MBA students in pursuing careers within the industry

Ninety of my first-year classmates signed up for Tech Trek and bought tickets to travel across the country during their fall break, with high expectations to learn more about the recruiting opportunities and visit the headquarters of companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft.

For most new MBAs, your past career no longer defines where you’re going once you walk through Fuqua’s doors. I was no exception.
