"My two-year MBA journey was filled with experiential learning programs in technology, strategy, and product development concentrations in marketing, which allowed me to refine the skills from my prior work experience. My classmates did mock interviews and helped me network with relevant people in the company, so I could understand the culture and bring nuances to my interview answers. Finally, a massive shoutout to the Accelerate Leadership Center and Masters Career Center! Through multiple sessions across both years, I crafted my resume and refined answers that helped me cross the finish line."

– Darshil Shastri, MBA '24

(Received offer within six months post–graduation)

"Breaking into consulting/McKinsey wasn’t easy but the Tepper School's support system helped me achieve my goal. Lesley Kromer at the Masters Career Center helped me draft my consulting resume two months before school started, knowing how fast-paced consulting recruiting is. Throughout my journey, she always made time for me, offering practical advice on everything from coffee chat strategies to interview prep. The Tepper Consulting Club’s structured programming and mentorship, combined with the constant support from classmates, kept me on track. My peers were always ready for case practice, advice, or just motivation, making a huge difference in my preparation. Also, The Accelerate Leadership Center (ALC) coaches and leaders further refined my communication and leadership skills."
