Post MBA Goal: After an MBA I would like to start my own IT business, preferably working with non-profits.
1. I left my job four months ago to move to Australia. I currently working with start-ups and volunteering with non-profits. After 8+ years working with the corporate world, it's been a great opportunity to give back by volunteering as well as learning by working with entrepreneurs. My corporate experience is definitely helpful, but I've come to realize that the start-ups I work with require an entirely different set of skills. While I still make a difference, these small businesses often have more to teach me than I can teach them! My goal is to go back to school to network and pick up more entrepreneurship and non-profit management skills to improve my chances for success in this new industry.
