CASE STUDIES
- MBA grad – 1 year out of school
Jack was a finance and marketing double concentration graduate from business school. One year after graduation and working in what he originally thought would be a rewarding finance job, Jack wasn't feeling the fulfillment he expected. Hours were long, his tasks were generally thankless, and he wondered whether he had made a mistake.
Jack had looked through job postings but nothing really grabbed him. He considered switching to marketing; he thought maybe a different industry would be nice. There were many options, particularly because of his MBA and work experience, but he couldn't be sure he would be happy in his next job.

- Undergrad – 5 years out of school
Kris had graduated from an Ivy League school 5 years ago and had
a relatively successful career as an analyst in a mid-sized company.
She found that her strengths were well suited for the work because
she enjoyed the technical aspects of her job. But certain interpersonal
conflicts and questions about how to involve some of her other more
creative inclinations made her question whether her career could
be best served pursuing something else.
Kris had considered going back to graduate school, but it wasn't clear in what subject. She had a lot of personal interests and wanted more integration of her various passions. Her job was just that: a job. What Kris wanted was a "calling", and had hoped for a more fulfilling career after graduation. Things just weren't coming together. Kris wondered whether there was more to work life.
