There are very typical archetypes that benefit from top MBAs and if your background isn’t one of those, then it won’t help. For example I doubt an associate (who is black) at a major IB firm gets much worse outcomes from an Ivy League MBA than their white peers. If black people are over represented in the people who are admitted but not from those backgrounds that stand to most benefit, it would stand to reason their outcomes would be on average worse. But that doesn’t mean taking an arbitrary white MBA grad and making them black would make their outcomes much worse
- yieldcrv 4y agomy first post covered all of this rehash posted as a rebuttal "despite the small sample size" "despite their ambitions" for people with the typical archetype "it amplifies their ambition if they want" "whether it has anything to do with their race or not" "the “average salary” of MBA alumnis is not what is interesting about getting one" the point is for more examples that show its not a waste of time for ambitious BIPOC, and what archetype would help integrate them into the archetype that often happens to also have an MBA. is it possible to obtain this archetype or are we really in a caste system.
