I chose Brandeis International Business School to obtain a customized MBA by concentrating both in Finance and in Strategy and Innovation as part of an excellent overall business education.
I had an amazing experience. The business school staff was always available to help and advise. I got a lot of support from the academic services, the faculty and the staff. They’re always willing to help students realize their full potential and were amazing advisors for me when I was looking for my career path. Many professors also impacted me during my time at Brandeis, especially Aldo Musacchio, the MBA program director, and Hagit Weihs, my accounting professor.
I interned in a FinTech startup called Payem, working as a business development intern. This was my first U.S. professional experience and it allowed me to learn a lot about the working environment there. It was a great experience even though it isn’t really related to my current job. I’m working in business valuation, and the corporate finance and modeling classes I took at Brandeis provided an excellent basis for my current role.
It’s a great opportunity to acquire knowledge about the technical field they’re interested in, and they can also develop their leadership skills. For me, I felt part of a close community that allowed me to grow a lot as a person. And since the business school is a small community, every student has the opportunity to make an impact.
