MISA From Campus to Career Alumni Journeys
As a year-long member of MISA, I decided to attend the From Campus to Career Alumni Journeys event hosted last Thursday (March 14). Five alumni, many being former MISA members who now work various roles in Nvidia, Google, Palo Alto Networks, EY, and Moss Adams, took turns speaking to different groups individually and allowed for us to connect on LinkedIn. I learned a lot about my desired role as a business analyst, including which skills to focus on (particularly Tableau and PowerBI), and what are the ideal ways to land a job (mainly through internships and reaching out to recruiters). I learned about various roles, including fields I never even knew existed before (such as SOX compliance). This is essential knowledge as a MIS major.
