Hello,
I was looking through the employment statistics at M7 schools and I found that there was a very low (for some nonexistent) number of students going into the autonomous/EV industry post-MBA. Based on this statistic, I have a few questions:
1.) Are the low numbers due to a lack of employment opportunities in this industry or because not many students pursue a career in that industry post-MBA?
2.) How likely (or unlikely) is it to land a business strategy-related management role in that industry post-MBA? I understand this is a very broad question and requires numerous inputs to have a good picture, but on a generalized basis, is it a path that is a viable path like consulting or a bit of a stretch for most students like venture capital?
3.) I have heard that schools evaluate an applicant's candidacy based on his/her past work experience and employability post-MBA. This being the case, will a post-MBA career goal in autonomous/EV business management have an overall negative impact on the application because the employability in general for this field seems to be highly limited and few go into this industry post-MBA?
4.) In terms of application strategy, if I am interested in looking into management consulting and autonomous/EV management roles, which industry should I be focusing on in my application to put my best foot forward? I am equally interested in both industries, but have heard that it is important to have a clear path and goals in the application in terms of career and industry.

Good question about employment in the EV industry. Actually one of the old-school moderators has during one of the start ups years ago... Both probably five years after graduating from business school. However, many of EV venture operate like start ups and don’t have the pleasure of spending time on training their workforce or have internship programs really. They are outlook is usually pretty short term and they’re hiring people with proven track record. Someone who can come into the job and start adding value immediately versus someone who could be molded or trained.
It is very possible by the time you graduate, if the industry will be more mature. It also could be your longer-term goal.
It is very good you are researching it at this stage. Do you want to do your due diligence for your own sake if not admissions.
It will also make your application writing a lot easier for questions such as why this business school. It will be hard to answer the question if no one ever went enter that industry and tying the business school with your career goal. You basically want to tie your past experience with your goal and the business would be a bridge between them.... which if nobody is recruiting into those positions, would be good to see who they recruit and their background. A few hrs on linked in should answer that question
that would be more for your own sake, to see if perhaps instead of getting an MBA you do something else. At the same time, business school remains the best vehicle to switch careers and change industries....
PS. Of course it does not help the Tesla ignores business school graduates insert preclude us from having a established recruiting path such as the ones at consulting companies and tech companies.
