Are you a non-technical background student wondering how to pursue a master's in the USA?
In this inspiring podcast, meet Nishi, who shares her real-life journey from a Commerce graduate in India to pursuing an MBA (STEM) at University of California, Riverside (UCR).
She talks openly about her challenges, dealing with bad consultancies, overcoming the 15 years vs. 16 years education gap, choosing MBA over regular MS programs, getting her Corporate Tax internship in Seattle, and her future plans around CPA.
Nishi clears several myths about studying MBA in the USA without IT or engineering backgrounds. She reveals the truth about visa hurdles, real costs of living in California, getting a Teaching Assistantship (TA) to cover her fees, and the impact of internships on career growth.
If you're planning to study in the USA after B.Com or from a non-tech background — this podcast will give you unmatched real-world perspective.
