Apply for new jobs and get an offer at least once per year, even if you love your job, just to make sure you’re being compensated at market rates for your skills and experience.
HABSA and the Latin American Business Group are two of our Full-Time MBA student groups. There’s plenty of overlap, but it might not be perfectly clear to new students. One of our main goals with HABSA is to connect underrepresented business people across the country to build networks and increase diversity and representation in business.
Booth has too many clubs to count, and it’s hard to figure out which ones to join at the beginning of your first year. Ultimately, people end up spending time with the clubs they care the most about. Last year, I enjoyed the HABSA events because they were lively and I made a lot of friends there. I became a co-chair this year and have become even closer to other HABSA co-chairs. There’s nothing like aligning incentives and working together to build a great community :)
Growing up in one of Chicago’s Mexican neighborhoods, every day I felt an appreciation of our heritage and culture. Hispanic Heritage Month is a time when everyone joins in to celebrate with us :)
