JOB AND INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Fewer choices on-campus, less competition for interview spots. Don't
underestimate the power of the Tuck alumni network.
Traditionally, many Tuck graduates went into Finance industry or Consulting
careers, and the on-campus recruiting cycle is still focused on them. Marketing
opportunities have been pretty good the last couple of years and there are some
successful entrepreneurs. If you're interested in general management rotations,
corporate strategy, controllership functions, operations, or nonprofit, there
will be some on-campus opportunities, but probably not as many as you would like.
A good number of correspondence opportunities (email your resume, phone
interview) come in later in the year, but most people who get nontraditional MBA
jobs get them through a network of either personal connections or Tuck alumni.
Tuck alumni are phenomenal resources and usually willing to help with either
information or job postings as long as you're respectful of their time. I would
characterize the number of international opportunities for US citizens as
disappointing.
PRESTIGE WITH EMPLOYERS
Those who know Tuck regard it pretty highly. More often than not, Tuck students
end up in positions where their peers came from HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, Columbia,
Stanford, and Sloan. However, Tuck is a small program and is not as well-known
as those others. You sometimes have to educate potential employers about the
school.
CAREER PLACEMENT RESOURCES
Careers Services is very active and receptive to student concerns. It had for a
long time emphasized consulting and finance but has attracted a good number of
brand management recruiters and is working on bringing in the general management,
healthcare, and technology positions students are demanding. Infrastructure to
help in the recruiting process, however, is limited. There are limited phones
available for recruiting calls, for example.
