Big Life Wins:

– Converted the PE analyst offer from intern to full time even when I was told it being “highly unlikely” during interviews.

Post MBA Goal:

Continue working in PE but preferably in US (better, bigger market, significantly higher exposure), where I will be able to leverage the alumni network and career opportunities to help set up my own fund in the future.

My MBA goal would be to go back to classroom, rediscover my strengths and weaknesses, and have further exposure/introspection.
