Why I Built This
When I was applying to MBA programs, I spent hundreds of hours reading forums, ranking sites, and admissions consultant blogs. Most of it was useless. The rankings were black boxes. The advice was generic. And nobody would give you a straight answer about whether a school was actually worth the money.
I got into Berkeley Haas and had an incredible experience. But I also watched friends choose the wrong programs for the wrong reasons, take on unnecessary debt, or skip business school entirely because the information landscape was so confusing.
MBA Guidance is the resource I wish I had. Real data, honest takes, and the kind of advice you'd get from a friend who's been through the process, because that's exactly what this is.
My Background
Before Haas, I worked in enterprise sales at Salesforce and Microsoft. After my MBA, I've spent my career at the intersection of data, sales, and strategy. I bring that analytical lens to everything on this site.
Stay in the Loop
I send a free weekly newsletter covering which companies are hiring MBA grads, salary trends, and program placement data. Real intel, no fluff.
