It's a nice thought, and I suppose you could discount the vast majority of companies as not being worth their salt, but newly-minted MBAs from top schools seem to be doing just fine relative to the current economy.

- eitally 16y agoI would argue that the top flight schools typically do a better job preparing their MBA students for the real world (externships, more realistic case studies with active participation from visiting corporate leaders, etc) than the bottom 90% do.
- todayiamme 16y agoBy the way, have you ever thought what type of people run HR? Yup, mostly MBAs who believe in such stuff and impressive resumes. What he should have said; no startup worth it's salt with hire them. Unless, of course they have some real skills.
- kgo 16y agoMost of the top programs strongly recommend that you do have several years of professional experience before applying.
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoI'm surprised at the number of coders I know who got MBAs that just wound up coding again afterwards (just with more debt). In many situations, the (wo)man makes the MBA, not the other way around. A person who is good with an MBA would likely be equally good without; the inverse holds true as well.
