I would say you want to get as precise and as determined with your career goals as early as possible and I mean like this month.

It is a mistake to think that you will find your calling during the business school. You will be overworked, sleep deprived, and overwhelmed. Very few people find their true calling unless of course alcoholism, during these kind of conditions. A lot of people and I was one of them, think that you have two years to figure out your life. That’s actually quite wrong. Recruiting starts very fast, in the fall in the first semester and technically club sign ups happen during the first week of school. Some clubs have very limited spots and you have to compete for them and if you miss your opportunity, there’s no way to join later. Don’t think that somehow business school will miraculously deliver you an answer that’ll be crystal clear and black-and-white. That never happens 😇

Forgive me if I’m a little bit harsh, I’m talking from personal experience and I was a dreamer and probably still am 😂😂😂 so this is partially self-directed.

True story though, when recruiting a business school I had so many directions and so many options that it was hard to concentrate my effort and it’s hard for people to help you to because it seems like you’re not serious and not committed if you just general and that’s what I did. I thought being more generic and open helped. That is actually incorrect because when you talk to people and you look for help if you tell someone something like I want to work for Amazon in there supply chain management or maybe I want to work for Apple in the product development, specifically focusing on medical devices. It seems extremely specific and it seems like the opportunity to to get in there would be very slim but what happens is that people start creating connections in their mind and they may know somebody from Apple or they may know someone who works in medical devices and the more specific you are the more willing there to help you. It’s the strangest thing but it’s true.

I get it no worries at all I am a true dreamer as well and I second guess everything 😂 very hard for me to be specific. And I agree with also keeping an open mind and looking for that role and industry I would be best in and want to pursue in the meantime (Or as close to it as I can get haha).
