Hi,

I have a 3 yr old moderately successful start-up in my profile

Confident of making it to a top university,Im planning to pursue my MBA With Entrepreneurship as a major course.Then after I would like to take up a job for a period.

My question is, does my course in E'ship hurt my chances during placements/recruting as the recruiters might assume I might not be with them for long, or the company be less trustful in the ways I be given opportunities once recruited ?

Hi ash8ashok21,

Thanks for posting. With your situation, it completely depends on how you approach a recruiter. Many MBA students have outside companies and projects, however if you show your commitment to a potential company, a recruiter's reaction will be very different as opposed to if you appear as if you are not ready to commit.

Best,
