The Competitive Nature of MBA Recruiting
Recruiting in business school can bring out intense competition among peers, often leading to dramatic situations. One story illustrates this when a student requested exclusive access to notes from a fellow classmate, hinting at an underlying tension among classmates during the recruitment season. While many students benefit from a collaborative environment, there are instances where individual ambition overshadows camaraderie, leading some to closely guard their experiences and opportunities. This competitive spirit can create an atmosphere where trust may wane, ultimately affecting relationships among classmates.
