The Pivot: from STEM to MBA
Saturday, 27th September | 1:30 PM – 3:00 PM EDT | 10:30 PM – 12:00 AM PKT
At DreamBridge.ai, we know many students with technical and engineering backgrounds often think about pivoting into business, whether it’s for leadership, strategy, or long-term career growth. But the big questions remain: How do you make that switch? What does an MBA really require? And how do you tell your story effectively?
Join Saad Idrees, Business Strategy Manager at The AES Corporation, MBA Candidate at the University of Rochester – Simon Business School, and former Senior Operations Engineer at Weatherford, as he shares his journey of moving from a STEM-heavy career into an MBA and strategy-focused path.
From navigating the application process and identifying clear academic and career goals to leveraging prior experience for a strong pivot story, Saad will break down the essential lessons STEM-background students need to hear.
This session is ideal for anyone curious about switching fields, pursuing an MBA in the U.S., or translating a technical profile into a management and strategy-driven career.
The webinar will be followed by a Q&A round where participants will have the chance to ask Saad personalized questions.
