SEDIAN @ INSEAD: SEDIAN @ INSEAD

http://sedian.blogspot.com/2007/11/sedian-insead.html

Friday, 16 November 2007. The idea to launch a blog came as abruptly as the decision to apply to business school: 15 minutes from start to finish. The subsequent realization required substantially more time and effort. The intention for this website is to share the wisdom on the happenings of INSEAD MBA class of December 2008, the thoughts on the admission process (it is behind at this point), the intricacies of the job hunt and the philosophical arguments to support or disprove the value of an MBA.

SEDIAN @ INSEAD: December 2007

http://sedian.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Monday, 3 December 2007. Came out today. HEC Paris leads the overall European business school ratings, which take into account MBA, executive MBA, MiM and executive education. LBS is second, INSEAD - third, mainly because these two are ranked accross just 3 categories, while HEC has all 4. What is the meaning of these rankings? Hard to say. But does anything have any meaning in this insane universe? All that's left to do is wait and see what happens next. Sunday, 2 December 2007. NY Times on Goldman Sachs.

SEDIAN @ INSEAD: February 2008

http://sedian.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Friday, 8 February 2008. Sympathy for Jerome Kerviel. A lot of things have been happening lately - banking recruitment, gargantuan write offs, American elections, FT MBA rankings, where both INSEAD and LBS gained ground, but the most fascinating story so far has been the rise and fall of Jerome Kerviel. The best thing is that the story is far from over. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Sympathy for Jerome Kerviel. Dec 08 - A nomad's Journey to INSEAD. Dec 08 - Bluey Road To MBA - INSEAD.

SEDIAN @ INSEAD: November 2007

http://sedian.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, 25 November 2007. MBA pros and cons (short version). Here's what I think. It is widely believed that it will be a truly great year full of exciting events and personal growth, possibly best year of your life. Opens doors to firms, careers and opportunities previously unattainable. A chance to meet a multitude of extraordinary people and make new friends for life - that one probably tilted the scale for me when I was deciding whether to go or not. Costly, very very costly.

SEDIAN @ INSEAD: NY Times on Goldman Sachs

http://sedian.blogspot.com/2007/12/ny-times-on-goldman-sachs.html

Sunday, 2 December 2007. NY Times on Goldman Sachs. Nothing to do with MBA or INSEAD, but relates to the firm many of us want to work for - Goldman Sachs. By the way, it was not featured as a prominent employer in the most recent INSEAD career report (2006). Hiring less then 3 people out of that class. Neither did Goldman Sachs take in many interns over the summer according to INSEAD 2007 summer internship presentation. A very famous American author and entertainer, in this article.

SEDIAN @ INSEAD: MBA scepticism in NY Times

http://sedian.blogspot.com/2007/11/mba-scepticism-in-ny-times.html

Sunday, 18 November 2007. MBA scepticism in NY Times. In the USA MBA has always been a pass to middle management role in finance and consulting. Less so in Europe, where relevant experience was seen as key to promotion. Now it seems the situation in the US is changing too. Two articles recently appearing in the New York Times have questioned the value of MBA. First one. Points out that a lesser number of those in finance, especially in quant-heavy finance, choose to go for an MBA. Dec 08 - Phathu @ INSEAD.
