Official Marketing JM 2021 Thread
-
Since the marketing JM is so early (Hiring August 2020 for a start date of August 2021), is it possible that the entire market itself will just shift to Winter AMA (Feb 2021)? That would still be 6 months before an effective start date, and budgets will likely be back to normal by then.
Thoughts?

Thoughts?That would be an ideal option for me. I am however suspicious about departments really wanting to change their way of doing. It might be easier for them to just say 'nah, we'll just skip this year', without caring about how students might be screwed.
I also heard some faculty members here worrying that a recession will hit hard and that would discourage hiring.On another hand, if the virus stays here for that long, people will stop quarantining and the virus will spread again. We might end up losing some faculty members in every department. I don't know how this would affect the market.

I don't understand why people keep saying schools will take a big hit due to COVID-19. Students still enroll and attend classes online. Are you saying students won't enroll unless they can attend in-person classes? Or are you saying the schools' endowment funds evaporated in the stock market?

I don't know how this would affect the market.I don't think big changes will need to be made. There's a secondary market evert year where schools do the first-round interviews via Skype. Basically, even if the summer market is canceled, schools can still go to the winter market if lines open up.

This sounds correct

The chinese students financing our business schools might not come to fund the school. The research grants might be postponed, especially in CB if no experiment can be run. The alumnis might not give money to the school, and no big fundraising events can be done...
The question, if unemployment rises, is "are people going to go back to school" ? But we would know that in December, not before the market.

Maybe top private/state schools, brand names which the Chinese can recognize back home. That way, the students can choose to seek employment in China.
For lower ranked schools, it's the working visa and potential US employment that makes the MBA programs attractive for international students.
