Duke MQM Student Blog

I am looking forward to growing as a consultant at EY and seeing where my career goes from here.

I can say that this master's degree has made a profound impact on my career aspirations.

Now four terms into MQM, I’m excited to share that I secured my first job in tech, and I wanted to share my experience and some tips on how I got to this point!

I was faced with the dilemma of choosing which track would be the best fit for me. As I read about the Forensics track, I was immediately drawn to it, as a good way to apply my interest in data analytics in a growing career field.

Strategy, finance, forensics, or marketing? This was the same question that troubled me as I went through the application process at Fuqua.

I wanted to know exactly how I could evaluate financial data with analytics tools, but I lacked finance knowledge.

A big reason as to why I chose the Master of Quantitative Management (MQM) program was the ability to dive deep into a particular area of business.

Last October, I spent a week in San Francisco during fall break and immersed myself in the Bay Area and its culture. It was a fantastic experience for a tech enthusiast like me and a great opportunity to learn more about West Coast jobs.

Why did I decide to enroll at Duke University? My answer is simple.
