Dato’s comments: “IBS has built a very balanced curriculum and it has offered me all the tools that I needed for my job. Since I work in the financial industry, courses in accounting and finance have benefited me directly. However, as an investment banker, I have to focus on companies’ strategy, as well as softer, ‘people’ issues, both of which were covered in the curriculum. In addition, with the flexibility of cross-registering, I took a Special Negotiations class at Babson, which was also extremely useful. Most career tracks today require knowledge in many areas, and Brandeis has given me a platform in all the important areas that I need to build on in order to grow. Most importantly, the school has given me global network of alumni that I can rely on and which I have used number of times.”
