Hi everyone, this is my first reddit post. Your help is truly appreciated! I need to make the decision before Dec 21 for Kellogg and late Jan 2024 for Haas R1 admission. Booth gave me a really generous offer deadline in May 2024.
1 Background
I am a Canadian tech engineer manager with FAANG experience and recently working at a unicorn startup. I am based in Vancouver, Canada, and I majored in CS in undergrad and master (both top-tier engineer schools)
2. Choices
I recently received PT admission from Kellogg, Haas and Booth (thanks Booth for processing my admission within 2 weeks after I heard back from other 2 schools). All the admissions are part-time because I dont want to give up my career and go back to school for 2 years.
Some notes:
- Kellogg gave me accelerated option (saving 2 credits, which is around 20k), but no scholarship.
- I am waiting scholarship decision from Haas and Booth, where the scholarships are granted after admission
3. Goals (ST and LT)
- Short-term: I want to stay in tech and engineer, and climb the corporate ladder from mid-level management to executive (VP and above). I want to extend my scope from managing engineer team to other types of teams. Basically I want to copy my role models, Satya Nadella or Show Zi Chow, who did their MBA at my age.
- Long-term: My most practical goal is to become a C-Suite executive for my current company or a large-size company. The other options are entrepreneurship, PE/VC, Consulting (not sure their pay is competitive comparing to tech). After some full-time experience in capital market front desk, I have no interest in pivoting to IB or finance for now.
4. Location
Since I will need to relocate from Canada, moving to Bay Area or Chicago are pretty much the same to me. Ofc. Bay Area is better and maybe safer than Chicago too? Anyways, this is the least important thing for me
Current Leanings:
- Leaning towards Booth, then Haas, and finally Kellogg.
- Still considering Kellogg for the winter immersion program that is opened for Evening & Weekend students.
- Big on Booth's rep – it's up there with HBS or Wharton, and I reckon it's the best for VC/PE.
- Haas shines in tech, but I want a broader network in diverse industries. Tech connections seem easy even without an MBA.
- Had some amazing coffee chats with 3-5 alumni/students at each school, Boothies are just super friendly!
- Long-term preference for the West Coast, could be Bay Area or even Seattle – both seem awesome!
