Juan José Daboub wanted nothing more as a sophomore at ND than to major in finance and become a successful investment banker. By the time he was a senior, that wish list had altered slightly but he spent two exciting years at Goldman Sachs before transitioning to BCG as a strategy consultant. A true extrovert, Juan José built relationships everywhere he went and credits active participation in a variety of corporate sponsored case competitions with giving him connections. insights, and new skills -- not to mention a little bit of extra pocket cash, which every college student appreciates. There was no shortage of advice around what he MUST do in order to get the "right" job and Juan José says pay attention to that, BUT he also reminds you to pay attention to what's most important to you and make sure that the MUSTs of the job search don't get in the way of the MUSTs you've identified for your college experience. In the end, it's all about balance and having a solid strategy.
Juan José's recommendation:
How Will You Measure Your Life by Clayton M. Christensen - a great resource to help you figure out what matters most to you and find perspective when it comes to the balance between your work and personal lives.
