In episode four of Mapleside Chats Season Two, hosted by Will, we dive into how to make the most of your MBA. With all the different opportunities, new connections, and unexpected pivots that are available throughout your study, your original plan may not be quite the same as your destination. Joined by Gene, Tony, and Serena, we discuss why they originally decided to pursue an MBA at CEIBS, what changed over the course of their study, whether they would do anything differently a second time around, and finally what their advice would be to any prospective new MBA students.

For current students Sabine Neuhaus and Dusan Kladar, as well as alumnus Simon Liang, the answer to the question “Is possible to successfully pivot your career to a new industry, function or location?” is a resounding YES! While all of them had previously made successful career transitions – Sabine from music to law, Dusan from veterinary medicine to management, and Simon from literature to bilateral trade relations – they all saw value in pursuing a CEIBS MBA to help them leapfrog into a different, and better, future. Join host Karen Xi as she discusses their struggles, triumphs and aspirations.
