A Year

Crikey. It's been a year since I graduated, and still no MBA-class job.

It's disappointing. It's mildly surprising. I'm glad I have a job, but even that is one that I need to get away from. My company is splitting in half, and while there is a lot of talk about opportunities ahead and each side of the split, it's such a prolonged process that it's not really worth counting on.

I did interview with some consulting firms last fall, but didn't make the cut. One in particular, I thought I had in the bag. Well, actually I didn't think that. I was afraid to think that, but five interviews in seven weeks made me think I had a shot.

Since then, I've fallen back to pursuing technical jobs. BA roles, PM roles, even pure engineering roles. I can't complain, but it's telling that there is a stronger market for computer engineers than, say, bond or equity valuations.
