Current Georgetown MBA students are here to answer your questions regarding our

Sorry, I aint from VC/PE industry.  Cant share much about it.  But we have a student who had a deep conversation with a PE guy in Hk.  That PE guy was also a career switcher.  He says it is possible to switch career to VC/PE without previous experience in IBD.  The point is how determined you are since most VC/PE are less-known on the market.  And you have to be "SUPER" prepared cuz unlike bulge brackets, VC/PE may not have so much time and resouces to watch you "grow".  To gain their confidence on hiring you, be a ready-to-fire candidate.

Thanks to the contribution from nyers and others.

I am R3 Georgetwon applicant who want to devote myself into VC(venture capital) in Asia once completed the programs.
Could you mind sharing some insights abt the career development out of your past and current observation?

Thanks.

Hi guys, thank you for your sharing. These information are very valuable considering that GT is not that well-known here in China as it is in U.S.

My question is that can you share the latest intern/job placement infor of class 2012/2011 respectively? I especially interested in the IB sector since some insider told me that although GT has decent presence in IB, there is almost no Chinese landed in IB. Is that really that tough for Chinese to land in IB as those coming from M7?

it is a illogical comparsion Gtown to M7 at current position....The fact that Chinese cant get a job in IB doesnt mean that there will be none in the future..... But ask yourself honestly, IB is people business.  Do you know what americans are talking about outside business? do you care about March Madness, Coach K, and VCU? Do you speak english as fluently as native speakers? are you willing to do networking with american just to get an information interview? And yet, I dont mention anything about your professional skills which is essential and no need to talk about here.  Applying IB jobs in anywhere on Earth is not much different, even in Asia.  So you are competing with candidates from all over the world. Since we may have so many disadvantage, why do those IBs hire you?

I aint here to discourage you but to let all of us realize the situation going on here.  Once you know how tough it is gonna be, you should prepare yourself extremely well and be ready that the battle would be bloody.....

lz, Gtown最后那篇optional essayrofessional Achievement Essay,大家都写嘛？请教是否是要我们写那种成就非常突出的，对行业或者企业贡献特别大的。我想否则也不用特别另立文章来申请吧。

好久没人来了
最近收到一封georgetown的广告，介绍2013的summer internship情况，上面写44个国际学生全部找到实习，我想问问其中中国人的情况，大多都是找的哪些行业和公司呢？
