Yesterday we had two company presentations overlapping.
I chose first to go to the Deloitte presentation in the Teaching Centre. The director of strategy spoke about, hm, strategy. They promoted the event as something like "what you will not learn at university about strategy". Well, not really. Nothing new about strategy in this presentation. Mind you, it was a good and interesting presentation, but really nothing new. But it served to show that actually our marketing course is very much about general strategy and to confirm that what we are seeing at the MBA is what people are using outside.
Then I was able to participate in the networking part of the MBA RBS event. And this was really cool. The people from the bank were very accessible and keen to talk to us, MBAs. They really want to employ some of us in the near future and I had a good personal impression of the people working there. So much so that I feel inclined to take a better look at corporate banking.
