Best Age For Business School

šŸ’Œ Want to partner with us? Sponsorships and brand deals: [email protected] How old is too old and how young is too young for getting your MBA? This is one of the most common questions we’ve received from listeners and we tackle it head on in episode 2 of the Tiger Sisters video podcast series. We also start off with some candid highlights and lowlights from our week including a free peer therapy session for Jean’s fight against her engrained workaholic tendencies and Cherie’s feelings of "profound loneliness" post-non-stop socializing at business school. We hope you find this episode enjoyable and helpful! Hi everyone, it's Cherie and Jean. We're giving an inside look into our experiences at GSB (Stanford) and HBS (Harvard) MBA programs, and beyond. Think of us as the internet’s career big sisters! Let us know in the comments what other questions you have about career, school, or life. We want to share the ups and downs of our experiences so you can learn from our mistakes and choices. We've been there and we are here to help. šŸæ WATCH NEXT: Spilling the Tea: Harvard Business School (HBS) vs. Stanford Business School (GSB):    • IsĀ HarvardĀ BetterĀ ThanĀ Stanford?Ā Ā  Ex-Google Startup Founder to Business School [Zach Boyette]    • Ex-GoogleĀ StartupĀ FounderĀ toĀ BusinessĀ Scho...Ā Ā  General Partner at Lightspeed Ventures: Founder and Career Advice [Nicole Quinn]    • GeneralĀ PartnerĀ atĀ LightspeedĀ Ventures:Ā Fo...Ā Ā  MBB Consulting Demystified [Mike Peng]    • ManagementĀ ConsultingĀ 101Ā Ā  Decoding Wall Street: Investment Banking & Private Equity [Jennifer Hwang]    • DecodingĀ WallĀ Street:Ā InvestmentĀ BankingĀ &...Ā Ā  Dare to Dream: Sequoia Managing Partner’s Career & Life Strategies [Roelof Botha]    • RoelofĀ Botha:Ā CareerĀ &Ā PersonalĀ LessonsĀ fr...Ā Ā  From Newsroom to Classroom [Glenn Kramon]    • LifeĀ LessonsĀ FromĀ StanfordĀ MBAĀ WritingĀ Pro...Ā Ā  From India to Stanford MBA [Vishal Sahoo]    • FromĀ IndiaĀ toĀ StanfordĀ MBA:Ā HowĀ HeĀ DidĀ ItĀ Ā  From College Dropout to Stanford Startup Entrepreneur [Katherine Gruneisen]    • CollegeĀ DropoutĀ toĀ StanfordĀ StartupĀ Entrep...Ā Ā  MY FREE ONLINE GUIDES: šŸ™‹šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø 100+ MBA Interview Question Prep: https://shop.beacons.ai/cherie.brooke... šŸŽ“ MBA M7 School Comparison Document: https://shop.beacons.ai/cherie.brooke...

I’m Jean and I’m a product exec, investor, and now creator-founder with my sister Cherie. I was previously the Head of Product for Augmented Reality Shopping at Snapchat. I’ve worked in product for 12 years, and I have over 50 AI patents dating back to 2012. In a past life, I was an institutional investor at Goldman Sachs. In addition to building out the Tiger Sisters video podcast series, I’m currently Managing Partner of Sunbird Ventures, an AI-focused seed stage microfund that I founded with another female AI tech exec. I’m sharing my learnings and personal stories in the hopes that I can inspire and elevate other people – especially young women – both in their careers and in pursuit of rich, fun, and joyful lives.
