Duke MMS Student Blog

Despite a challenging job market, students in the Class of 2024 adapted quickly, proactively defining their job search strategies and leveraging school and alumni resources.

The MMS: Foundations of Business (MMS: FOB) Class of 2024 has given us plenty to cheer for, as they remained determined and resilient in a difficult job market.

The wisdom of Fuqua's alumni network and CMC resources have been instrumental in navigating the intricacies of recruiting as an international student.

I can say the opportunity to attend Fuqua was an opportunity of a lifetime, helping me discover my career path for myself.

In the Class of 2022 Employment Report, new highs in job acceptances and salary show the previous year’s success was more than just a temporary rebound from tumultuous times.

In recent years, there has been strong representation from Duke student-athletes in the MMS: FOB program. As a member of the Track & Field team, I have been able to experience the balance between academics and athletics at Duke.

We can’t wait to see what’s next for them as they positively impact their colleagues, companies and communities!

Everyone’s career path and goals look different, but every Duke, Fuqua, and other resource I speak of in this article can definitely help you figure out yours in some way.

The search for a post-Fuqua career started as soon as I began the MMS program. Coming from a health background with little to no experience in business or job searching I felt intimidated.

It’s no secret that the Class of 2020 ended the academic year differently than expected because of the pandemic. Our students found themselves job searching while navigating sometimes challenging personal circumstances in different geographies.
