On this episode of the Business Beyond Usual podcast, hosts Aishwarya Dhume and Vashishta Sai sit down with four Full-Time MBA students to discuss their recruitment journeys.

The panel explores the differences in recruiting processes for the marketing, consulting, technology, and investment banking fields. They discuss preparing for case interviews, the coffee chat system, and the biggest challenges of recruitment – time management, prioritization, and self-care. We learn about the importance of trusting the process over focusing on a certain outcome, having a backup plan, and leaning on your community through the whole recruiting season.

On the premiere episode of season nine of the Business Beyond Usual podcast, we sit down with the Full-Time MBA Council. The group shares their favorite memories from their first year at the Ross School of Business and what they’re most looking forward to experiencing as second-year MBAs.

The panel also explores the role of the FTMBA Council and its goals for this year. We learn about the MBA Council’s three main pillars: cross-collaboration, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and prioritizing well-being. Our guests share their commitment to supporting those who have made real sacrifices to pursue MBAs and emphasize how important it is to lean on each other. Being supported by others gives us the power to pay it forward.
