Ask me anything about Business at UCI - internships, clubs, majors, etc.

<p>Good thing I’m done with finals already :).</p>

<p>Marketing sounds like a more desirable career bc it doesn’t seem as stressful and demanding as ibanking.
So my question is do you have to get an mba to become a brand/product manager?</p>

<p>A: it depends on the company. The traditional brand companies like Kellogg, P&G, etc do recruit most of their assistant brand managers and product managers from the Northwesterns of the world.</p>

<p>However, that doesn’t mean that you need to get an MBA to get there. You can find a smaller company and work in marketing pretty easily at financial, sports, and entertainment companies. Marketing is so broad that you can find your start anywhere.</p>

<p>Do yourelf justice and do your research on the industry and job description. <a href=“http://www.wetfeet.com%5B/url%5D”>www.wetfeet.com</a> is a great place to start.</p>
