After months of conversations and interviews, in April of 2021, I accepted a role at battery startup called Natron Energy. Both the planning process and the conference itself were instrumental in getting exposure to exciting businesses, innovative ideas, and brilliant people who became part of my network.ĭuring my second semester I had the opportunity to help develop a market research report for a battery startup, and this experience along with the conversations I had with HBS Career & Professional Development (CPD), convinced me to pursue an internship at a battery startup.įinding a startup role, particularly in a relatively niche field like batteries, required a lot of networking with HBS alumni, in addition to the individuals that I met through the club conferences. As an active member of the clubs I helped plan professional panels for each of the clubs’ conferences. During my time there I learned about the power of an organization to develop technology and execute business strategy to bring positive change in the world.Ĭoming off that experience, in my first semester I joined the Energy and Environment Club and the Sustainability Club to meet fellow classmates with similar interests, deepen my involvement in helping advance the climate change conversation at HBS, and connect with like-minded hiring organizations. I found this ideal role with BCG Boston, and am excited to join them after graduation, and wanted to share some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way.īefore HBS I was an engineer at Tesla, where I worked in manufacturing and design engineering. Be a launch pad for future career growth.Allow me to develop strong professional relationships.Teach me how to work in business strategy and/or ops functions.Be sustainability and technology focused.Some soul searching helped me realize that my ideal post-MBA role needed to satisfy the following criteria: I began my HBS admissions application essay with the following sentence: “I aspire to help build organizations that are advancing sustainability and addressing the issue of climate change.” For the past year and a half, I’ve been trying to figure out how to continue meeting the goal I outlined in my HBS essay while working in a business facing role.
