Stanford contradiction

• On the other hand Stanford ask everyone to
Help-their-neighbour

Summary• First year of the b school brought together a diverse group of students who
underwent an intensive and distinct experience• By the winter term everyone was physically present but their minds were
somewhere else, they were on the jobs
• 3 categories of students
Who got the job by the second year
booking for the jobs and throwing themselves in the second year jobs interviews
“independent job search” – they either could not or would not get any job from campus

Essence
Snapshot from the hell as the name suggest started as kind of personal nightmare as he has to grappled to adjust a world full of calculus and case studies but ends with enthusiastic embrace of the business school experience.
• Business school are not difficult, the difficult is the level of competition at business school.
• Most of the hard work didn’t come from trying to understand the material, but from trying to understand the material better than our peers .
• First part of the book is talking about the difference between poets and no poets of the place. Poets- remedial for maths and CS while no poets were engineers and other science background.
• Later part of the book seems more interesting when he got a job but after doing 10 weeks of jobs he realized investment banking wasn’t for him.
