Why did you decide to do an MBA?
An Ivey MBA is essential for several reasons:
Case-based learning will enhance my strategic thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, which are critical for my target roles, through hands-on and real-world experiences. It allows me to apply classroom learning in the workplace immediately. Equally, my diverse work experience will enable me to excel in classroom debates and discussions, allowing me to benefit from this learning model fully.
Networking opportunities within Ivey’s close-knit environment will be invaluable for building and expanding my professional connections. The small class size and highly engaged alumni network will provide me with mentorship, insights, and potential opportunities as I transition into new areas.
Reputation and career support will give me a competitive edge in consulting and strategic finance. Ivey’s Field Project and its intensive one-year format will immerse me in real-world challenges while minimizing time away from work, with the support of the career management team ensuring a smooth transition.
Attending the Toronto Mixer and MBA Insight Day solidified my decision that Ivey is the best fit, offering the tools, network, and credibility necessary for my career pivot.
