Impact of joining a competitor on business school adcoms
Hi Sandy,
How will an adcom of top 5 schools view a switch in jobs to competitor? (sales/trading at Deutsche for 2yrs to investment banking at Goldmans)
??????
do you think joining a competitor is somehow like being a traitor, or double-agent, or adulterer?
It happens all the time, and many major companies, etc. are, in origin, founded by dudes who broke away fr. mother company. It’s called capitalism.
Just explain growth, etc. reasons why you switched, and be sure not to engage in any silly invidious comparisons–b schools are interested in
1. what was positive and enlightening about each job
2. how the corporate cultures are diff. and how you responded to each (FAVORITE INTERVIEW QUESTION)
