Should You Go To Business School? | Demoted

To go to business school or not to go to business school?

In this episode, Ross goes in depth about his experience attending Stanford's Graduate School of Business. From why he went back to school at 29 years old, to how an MBA has affected his career. Natalie shares her perspective on the Stanford MBA program as a close outside observer sneaking into classes and attending all their parties and international trips. The two discuss the merits of using business school to career pivot and how to get the most out of the time there if you do decide to go. They also talk about the challenging balance of keeping up with class workloads and a robust social life. Stay tuned for some enhanced corporate icebreakers, a “touchy feely” class, and a listener-submitted story of what happened when a bridesmaid hooked up with the bride’s brother.
