Hello!
I am at least a year (likely 2) away from applying. I'm interested in a product development or business development role post-mba, but am not completely sure what opportunities my education/experience allows me. I've searched diligently and found a few positions in companies such as ebay, but not much variety. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on possible opportunities. Here is a brief overview of myself:
- Only applying to ultra-elite schools.
- Undergrad B.A. in Science and Technology Studies from top tier Canadian school.
- 5+ years at real-estate management and development corp.
- Hired/managed 25 contractors.
- Managed and maintained $10 million in real-estate assets; yielding average annual revenue of $1+ million.
- Hired and coordinated consulting engineers, architects, and contractors for ~$1.5 million in projects.
- Started company to manufacture interior architectural products; am currently in the process of finalizing patents and incorporation.
- Created 2 patents (which I will own in the near future).
- Have implemented the physical infrastructure and business model to produce superior quality at a fraction of the cost of all competition.
- The business will be established before applying.
- I am looking for a "job" change post-mba and am weighing options for my current company. I will either hire someone to manage it once it's established or I am reviewing an offer to sell the company.
I would like a job in development with maximum growth potential. I haven't had much luck finding examples of these jobs, nor can I assess my potential candidacy for them post-mba.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
