Job Requirements
Marketing & Finance
It's pretty easy to get the clases you want. If you don't get it
during bidding, you just have to show up and ask the professor.
Professors are very nice and workload is very manageable.
I think the core curriculum is pretty heavy though.

Uppers
Best part is the people. You meet so many and work with so many people. You get
a lot of free giveaways and also get a lot of facetime with upper management. You
have to do individual work but working in teams is always fun.
|
Downers
Downers is that marketing is sometimes very qualitative and its
hard to defend your assumptions if you don't have sufficient
data. It's also hard to tell which services will be successful.
Marketing involves a lot of coordination so you need to be good
at product management.
|
Lifestyle
Lifestyle is very good. Get to travel. Do working lunches. Work hours are not
bad, maybe only during crunch time situations.
|
Compensation
Salary is pretty standard. Not as high as consultants and
investment bankers. Most companies give you the basic stock
option, health insurance, 401k package.
|
Advice to Jobseekers
Just try to get experience. Also corporate marketing is
different from consumer packaged goods marketing. So you should
know where you want to go.
