Doing the same thrice in a row is no coincidence. Somehow, I seem to get the interest to write a post just a day before the school starts. I did the same in Mod III, Mod IV and now. I have a lot of things to look forward to in this year.
First and foremost I do not need to get up early as I have two classes in the afternoon and the rest with the evening students at 6:30 PM!
Options to choose courses excites me the most. I am taking Corporate Restructuring, Managing technology intensive enterprises (intensive track), global strategic management and M&A for Entrepreneurs. First and last courses are very sought after and the corp restructuring professor sent us a warning note about the work load involved. I know for sure that I am unlikely to end up in finance career. However, I chose it just for the fun of it. Interestingly M&A course complements corporate restructuring as it tends to focus on the soft/qualitative side of transactions.
My internship opened up new areas for me to look at in a tech firm: corporate strategy and corporate development. One alum I met in my internship firm gave a pretty good overview of the roles and how former VC firm analysts and investment banking professionals end up in corporate development.
In addition, a few friends and I are going to lead Babson Tech Venture Club and we have big plans for this year.
There are some challenges too. Our classes will include students from 2 year, 1 year and evening/part time students and scheduling group meeting would be difficult. We will have no room for ourselves, unlike in first year, and have to roam around to find a place to sit.
