Why I sometimes hate to work with freshly minted MBAs

May 22nd, 2010 · Comments

A lot of them are super arrogant.

A lot of them are super greedy — they want to make a lot of money as soon as possible.

They’re only interested in "strategy work".

They talk big and think big. But, they cannot execute.

They care more about job titles than job content.

They think they’re analytical because they know how to use excel spreadsheet to build models.

I don’t mean to over generalize. But, a lot of MBAs are like what I’m describing above.

If you’re graduating now from business school, I hope you’ll stay humble, live your values, and be kind to others as you start your first post-MBA job.

If you know someone who is graduating from business school, please pass this blog post to him or her.

I graduated from business school six years ago. I have seen and met plenty of MBAs I didn’t enjoy working. I want to see more humble, hard-working, kind MBAs in the working world.

Peace.
