dabots had the great idea of having us post where we're going after bschool, so I volunteered to get this thread going and to update it with your updates. Hope we can get a bunch of the Class of 2010 peeps back for this mini "reunion"

Let's use this format to keep it standardized (suggestions are welcome):

Name - School - FT Job You Accepted - Industry (in case people don't know what the company does)
Career Switcher? [Y/N] (if yes, from what to what?)
Job title/brief description:

I'll keep it updated here every once in a while, so just reply and I'll consolidate it all.

GMATClub Class of 2010 - Where Are They Going List

helg - Booth - a large U.S. agribusiness company
Career Switcher? - Yes, from supply chain management in healthcare industry
Job title/brief description: leadership development program with 2 rotations in corp. finance and corp. strategy.

togafoot - HKUST - Nanbeijie - Social Gaming/ecommerce/Social Networks
Career Switcher: Sort of, From Mobile Tech to Internet Tech although both areas are converging anyhow.
Job Title: Start-Up (co-founder), so I mostly focus on :- Product management (features, games strategies, metrics how all the apps fit together), CTO stuff (tech strategy, tech resource management, project management) and investor relations (Networking for funding etc.).. as well as some other stuff (marketing strategy etc.).

kwam - Chicago Booth - MA at the Private Wealth Management division of a major US Bank
Career Switcher: Not Really, though the function is new for me, I have structured products for the Wealth Management division before.
Job title/brief description: During the first 18 months I will be based in NYC. The firs 6 months I will be rotating through Investments Advisory / Asset Allocation, some trading and structuring desks, and then Relationship Management where I most likely will settle after the program. After these 18 months, there is a big chance that I will be relocated to Europe (to the country that specializes in PWM).

Job Market for banking in general was tough, and given that I was not actively looking for jobs I am more than satisfied with the outcome.

ncp - Michigan Ross - Major US health plan provider - Healthcare Leadership Dev Program
Career Switcher: Yes, business consulting to healthcare
Job title: Associate, Leadership Dev Program - 4 rotations, ranging from marketing to managing contracts with hospitals, followed by promotion to Director

bherronp - Michigan - Amazon.com (haven't officially accepted yet, but will soon)
Career Switcher?: Yes, from IT to Tech/e-commerce marketing
Job: Product Manager (although the titles at Amazon are rather nebulous when you get an offer, you could end up doing a wide variety of things)
Internship recruiting was brutal, and FT was still challenging, but I got a tob job I wanted and get to go back home, so it all worked out in the end.

dabots - Booth - "Korean Conglomerate" - Strategy Group
Career Switcher: Yes, government consulting to corporate strategy
Job title: Strategist, working on strategy cases across business units
Internship: product innovation at tech firm
very happy with the transition, both the role and working in Asia without any previous experience there

kryzak - Berkeley-Haas - Zynga - Gaming/Social Networks/Tech
Career Switcher: Yes, defense/aerospace to gaming/social media
Job title: Product Manager - in charge of features, metrics, and strategy for a game

Awesome idea folks keep us updated. Really curious to see how everyone's progressing. I might start one with internships in a couple of months when it becomes clearer who is doing what.

Career switching
Pre-MBA: government consulting
Internship: product innovation at tech firm
Post-MBA: strategy group at a korean conglomerate

very happy with the transition, both the role and working in Asia without any previous experience there

bherronp - Michigan - Amazon.com (haven't officially accepted yet, but will soon)
Career Switcher?: Yes, from IT to Tech/e-commerce marketing

Yep, sucking up a lot of my time, but it's very empowering. Lot's of different things we have to work with being in China, e.g. no open platform in the social networks here. Although if/when we start to expand internationally, we will be looking at using the likes of Facebook, Mixi, Cyworld, Gree etc. as a platform. Currently have my hands full desigining/speccing a property and sports social game.
