A major component of this site is a weblog that has had several lives, from its start as a featured MBA applicant/student blog on a separate site to its own presence on the Blogger system and now to its own domain as my personal website.
As you read through the entries, you'll see me go through three distinct phases in my life:
- Pre-MBA experience: Experiences that one typically goes through before matriculating at business school
- Life as an MBA student: Highs and lows of my time as a student at the Stanford Graduate School of Business in much more detail than most would expect to see
- Post-MBA life...and serving as a career/education/life coach to the masses: Responses to questions emailed to me by readers, where I use what I have learned through my own missteps and experiences to help others achieve their goals and avoid making the same misstepsÂ
Happy Holidays!

Second to last day in Brazil
Whew, this has been a long 8 days in Brazil so far and, now that I've only got today and tomorrow left, I'm feeling too worn out to do anything but chill. The past 3 days here in Bahia with two of my roomies has been a mixture of relaxation, great conversations, and...
Hello from brazil

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. I know I'm a day late with that, but it's the thought that counts, right? 🙂 I hope each of you had an enjoyable turkey day yesterday and that you rested well with all of that food in your bellies. For me, yesterday was a long day filled...

McKinsey second round interview recap
Ahhhhh, it's finally over. The OCR recruiting process is over for me as of a couple of hours ago. I still haven't heard from Google about my status with them after my phone screens a couple of weeks ago, but they'd contacted me offline about interviewing, so i don't...
BCG Second round interview recap
What's up, y'all. I'm writing this email from a hotel room in ATL where I am for second rounds with McKinsey tomorrow morning. This is my third trip to the east coast since last Thursday and all of this flying is wearing on me. Yesterday, I was in DC for my BCG second...
