Have you obsessed over the big career question over the years and find yourself going in circles?  As a career coach and an MIT alum, I can relate to your hopes and frustrations.   In this 2-day bootcamp, we will take a step back and start from first principles.  With an open mind and no prior expectations, we will work our way through a systematic approach to career decision making that breaks the problem down into bite-sized chunks.  At the end of the class, we will form peer coaching groups where you commit to helping one another for the next semester, so you stay on course long after the class is over.  

 By the way, here is my career trajectory: Course 6 --> PhD in Artificial Intelligence --> Startup Founder --> Product Manager --> Quant Finance Recruiter --> Career Coach.   As you can see, I have gone through many career transitions myself.  

 Bring your laptop!

 If the registration is full, please send an email to anyuan@alum.mit.edu with "IAP" as the subject line and your career question.  I will add you to the waitlist.
