Enrolling in the Business Analytics MBA program was prompted by my current role in IT consulting. My aim was to enhance my comprehension of business within the IT sector and swiftly grasp emerging technologies. The MBA program facilitated a broader understanding of business through modules in accounting, marketing, and customer analysis. Real-life case studies and discussions provided practical insights applicable to my work. Conducted entirely in English, the classes gradually mitigated my aversion to technical documents and original texts, fostering a conducive environment for self-directed learning.
Throughout the program, the standout elements were the distinguished professors and the camaraderie with classmates. Globally recognized professors imparted up-to-date knowledge, fostering creative thinking through discussions and group activities. The interactive nature of classes allowed for continuous application of experiences, solidifying the learning process. The bonds formed with classmates during the two years of shared challenges and opinions have evolved into lifelong friendships through which we continue to support each other's growth.
The program not only enriched my theoretical knowledge but also provided practical experiences. Participation in ICDM and AI competitions, with support from professors, showcased the program's commitment to hands-on learning. The gold medal from SW Architecture Competition significantly contributed to my personal development.
Additionally, the program played a pivotal role in my career progression, I have been promoted and transferred to a role based on data analysis at a global consulting firm. This company offers opportunities for relocation to the United States and growth in the field of AI, and I am striving to apply what I learned in school to my actual work.
On reflection, the MBA program served as a gateway to diverse career paths, offering avenues to become a data engineer, AI engineer, or business analyst. Its flexibility allows for a deeper dive into areas aligned with individual goals and strengths. The MBA, like a versatile card, enables a transformative career shift through dedication and effort.
