Summer Internships

Most full-time MBA programs require a summer internship between your first and second year. These are not the low level internships you might have had in college but are pretty challenging jobs where you often get to interact with senior executives. Some of my fellow classmates are working with large Biopharma companies and Fortune 50 oil companies for example. My internship this summer is with a business technology development center. I'll have the opportunity to be a summer consultant for two small tech startups as they seek to manage their companies and growth their market. I debated whether to pursue the typical Fortune 500 internship or this opportunity. Ultimately, I decided that I would really enjoy getting to wear many different hats and function at a higher decision level with these small companies. I think the internship will be challenging and exciting and I'm looking forward to applying all the things I've been studying over the past 8 months.
