Top 6 fallacies of B School
- Just because you’re in B School, you’re not smarter than the rest of the universe. Most smart people don’t go to business school - not because they couldn’t but because they either didn’t want to or didn’t need to
- Companies on campus make you sound a lot smarter than you actually are. It’s business. Now that they’ve spent enough to interview you and hire you (in the absence of better options), they don’t want to spend more on doing it all over again. The entry level associate position is really not worth the effort for them. Accept it, feel fortunate and move on
- Being elected president of the useless but professional sounding club should not be taken too personally. Especially when only 3 people applied and you were the only one who put in an application before the deadline.
- Stick a fork in your eye every time you catch yourself dropping “Core competency” and “strategic positioning” during a casual dinner conversation
- Unfortunately you’re not type A, deal with it. It’s OK to be human
- Getting shit faced every Thursday night does not count as life. Even more so when you’re approaching 30
