This HBSGuru guy is wickedly good...I like how he makes the prospect MBA students squirm. I want to be interviewed by him.

[@eagillum]

Someone give this guy an MBA. He’s going places. Lovely person.

[@TheGeminancer]

Yeah, I think he got some excellent answers and he holds himself very well even in an interrogation like interview LOL. He explained his job very well...the reason he wanted to give more context on the technical terms is that it would help him explain what he does on a daily basis. I think he would definitely pass alumni interviews - he is the kind of guy you wanna sit next to in a class and work in the same group project.

I searched the guy, he got into INSEAD

[@G3CK0GUY]

Could we get a follow up series to see who actually got their programs, how the interviews went compared to Sandy, etc?

[@MM14JR]

Sagnik went on to do an MBA at INSEAD

[@sagnikmukherjee8996]

He did indeed! 😂

[@TheGeminancer]

I m taking notes like crazy. excellent session. This helps a lot with interviews conducted by those who have no experience in my industry. I typically would explain a lot in the job interviews so that my potential employers have a better sense of my ability. But in MBA interviews, too many details could be distracting and counterproductive. If the interviewer doesn't know what exactly I do, they would have a hard time to gauge my impact in the organization and my rationale for pursuing an MBA. I need to throw away my old scripts and rewrite the whole thing LOL. Thanks for the videos! They are really helpful!
