Well, I’ve made it to the end of my internship and it feels good to have a month of relaxing ahead of me. Going into this summer, people told me that the summer internship would be a breeze, but I definitely had to grind during this one. I’m happy to say that I learned a lot during this summer, but I still don’t know what my status is in terms of a job offer. According to the head recruiter for the summer program, they still need to gather feedback from all of our managers and then have some evaluation meetings before they can make the final decisions. I was told that I may not find out anything until the middle of September, which would be tough because I’d have all that uncertainty hanging over me for the next month, including the time I’m kickin’ it in Asia. I’m crossing my fingers in hopes of a quick decision on Accenture’s part though. Anyways, by this time, i’ll be on the train back down to VA for a couple weeks of relaxing and hanging out with my family before heading back to Cali. It was a long 10 weeks of work, but, now that it’s just about over, I’m glad that I had such a good experience.

wow. Nice . Congratulations !
you deserve the Asia – break, irrespective of what happens to the ACN job offer, which I think should work out.
Good luck on the Accenture offer. I know the Asian offices don’t sponsor MBA’s, but maybe you can get reimbursed on tuition or something in the States 🙂
Where in Asia are you going?
sghama, I’m going to be hitting up Thailand and Vietnam, but i’m not exactly sure which cities we’ll be going to yet. I’m letting my friends plan it all and I’m just going along for the ride.
Enjoy your trip and best of luck! I noticed that you’re getting another degree on top of the MBA — is that a one year program? (just curious.)
Risitos, I’m actually getting both the MBA and the Ed.MA in the same two years through a joint degree program that the GSB has set up with the Stanford University School of Education. We take a set of cross-listed courses in order to get enough credits to do both of them in 2 years. I also have the option of staying an extra quarter to finish up any Ed classes that I can’t finish, but I’m looking forward to working, so I won’t take advatnage of that option.
I’ve been to Thailand and to Vietnam and had an amazing experience. Let’s talk before you leave.
