Hey there, thanks for the questions!
1) So right now with Corona-virus, we have a very unstable situation with school. We are doing online school and I'm not sure about the summer semester. The reason I say this is because I have to acknowledge the bias of difficulty finding a job now that we have this corona situation. Generally, people who graduate from this program go onto be coordinators or basic kinds of managers. This program has no room for an internship beyond 10 hours a week. So we're not here applying for internships for that reason. If you want to go to the big 4, you have better chances with an MBA. If you want to be a CEO, you get an MBA. So you won't stop at the MMgt if those are your goals. Because we basically spend 99% of the time studying (BE PREPARED FOR THE FAST PACED nature of the program), we were basically trying to apply for jobs in the summer so we don't know yet about jobs. My intention is to graduate and be a manager for a mid-sized company. Getting jobs specifically for MMgt through the career board is way more limited. Jobs are mainly for Finance/Marketing/MBA people.
2) I would say this to myself: you did a good job coming into the program with work experience. Coming straight from undergrad has a lot of disadvantages: lack of maturity, lack of real-world experience, lack of business experience.
My advice to anyone considering the program:
#1: Have some experience in business (accounting, finance, statistics, economics)
#2: If you can't handle learning things on your own, this program isn't for you. There is a LOT of self-learning in this program, I can't stress this enough. This will hit hard for some people who come from humanities and biology-related fields.
#3: If you are not a hard-worker, accept that you will do all of the work lol. Every year, for some reason, there admit a lot of free loaders that ruin the integrity of the program.
#4: Make sure you have enough money to do school. It's not popular for admissions or students to tell you this, but don't rush to be in debt for school. If you can gain work experience and make money, you will be in a comfortable position to start school.
#5: Do your best to network

Hey! Just wanted to know, how many students from the MMGT Cohort end up with roles in the strategy industry, in firms like Big 4, MBB, Roland Berger etc?
