Meet Daisuke Atarashi, formerly of IBM and Siemens, as he discusses his pivot from a master's-level education in Aerospace Engineering to a career in Management. 

Daisuke and Jeremy Krell explore Daisuke's process of selecting a career pivot, learning how his dream school (MIT) and his best-fit school (Solvay) may be two different things, and realizing that getting into (or back to) a niche career like management in aerospace engineering requires a non-traditional approach to b-school applications. 

Join Jeremy Krell and Emma Oanh On, rising strategy consultant and Cornell Johnson MBA candidate, as they explore Oanh's recent career pivot and admissions experience. 

Growing up and attending school in Vietnam, Oanh began her career with a 9-year stint in marketing and is using an MBA to transition into consulting. She was admitted this past season to MBA programs at Cornell, the University of Michigan, UCLA, and University of Toronto. In this episode, Oanh shares the importance of preparing Plan A vs. Plan B opportunities and discusses the challenge of juggling life, work, and applications pre-program, along with her ongoing experience balancing an MBA with networking, recruiting, and life. 

Join Jeremy Krell as he digs into  Aleksander "Sasha" Vlasov's journey as a technical student in Russia gaining admission to Columbia University's Masters in Business Analytics / Financial Engineering program. 

With a master's at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Sasha set out to pursue a second masters in the US. Choosing targeted internships and  pursuing challenging technical data science programs at Columbia and CMU made up a few of Sasha's profile differentiators.
