The first year of my MBA journey
at Ross has been an historic journey.
The internship search experience for me proved to be a short but very
rewarding experience. As an Australian who has lived in four countries Nigeria,
Kenya, India and Australia I was able to highlight my breadth of international
experience and skillsets to secure a finance position in the Technology
Industry in the Bay Area.
Coming from an accounting
background, I look forward to enhancing finance skills and exploring if finance
is indeed my true calling over the summer. While I am still not aware of the project I
will be working on or the managers I shall be working with, I have met several
individuals who will be on the team in the company sell day and they are indeed
an exciting bunch of individuals from some of the top business schools within
the US.
The summer internship also allows
me to develop networks in the Bay area. This will be helpful as I look at
working on the west coast post MBA. While I will not be travelling as my peers
in consulting do, I look forward to exploring California over the weekends –
Napa Valley, Lake Tahoe, Alcatraz come to my mind….and Vegas looms in the
distance.
I am very excited about my summer
and look forward to keeping everyone posted about my internship, my life
experiences and my adventures in California.
