Skip the MBA - you don't need one to start your own company. If you're a good programmer/developer, just start coding the next big thing. You're wasting both your time and money by doing the MBA.

Yes, I think now you have lots of knowledge about Software. After completion of your MBA, you can seek for the jobs in Software sales, Business Research Analyst etc. I hope you will get a good job in IT business field.

Your question remains too generic. You need to do a little research for what you want out of an MBA.

-Every business school take your career plans so seriously during the application process? Because they want to know that you have thought it through. They want to make sure you are grounded in reality. That if you want to change careers, you’ve figured out how to get from Point A to Point B and maybe even to Point C and D.

-So go out and explore – talk to people – especially current students or recent grads on their career experience. . Do some self-exploration as well. And make sure you take notes

look at this link https://gmatclub.com/blog/2011/05/life-a ... hbs-grads/

Options are ...Business analyst track in a technology firm, Associate Consultant track in any consulting, IT or marketing firm, Project finance track...etc.

Hi,

My goal is very clear. I want to be an entrepreneur after my MBA. However, my very short-term goal is to work is US/Canada for some years to earn some money to start my business. Hence, I think that if I choose only the Entrepreneurship concentration, it's hard to get a job in US/CAN after my graduation.

Does anyone have advices for my case?

Thank you.



Same Situation Here....

If you want to work before you become an entrepreneur, I would think you have two choices of what to do. One, become an IBanker to build as big a pile of cash as you can before going on to your own thing. Risks - burn out, that the pay leaves the industry (I think that is much higher risk than many give credit), get sucked in... Advantage - you learn how to finance things for the future.

Two - do something along the lines of what you want to be an entrepreneur in. You can always find a banker wanting to escape being a banker to partner with, so if you have skills and ideas, a job that builds the skills around what your long-term idea is will be way better. To that end, it could be anything - marketing, IT management, strategy, Corp Dev (which is basically IBanking to be honest).

So really I don't think there is a correct answer, other than to focus on something that sets you up best for your LT goal. "Entrepreneurship" includes everything, so without knowing what your ideas are, it is very difficult to point towards the best path to build up to the plan.

My advice would be to not wait to start your business until you have money. When you have money you have a lot more to lose and you become much more risk averse. With a solid idea, a great team and a little bit of groundwork, you can raise money from friends/family, angels or VC's. I've launched two successful internet business over the last 8 years with little/no money of my own (first one with F/F money and the second with VC's money). The life of an entrepreneur can be gut-wrenching, but there's nothing like it! Best of luck!
