Welcome to the supposedly ‘easy’ term. After the bruises of term 3, I think this description is fair, but it’s not a term to be taken lightly. There are some fascinating subjects which are quite important not only from an interview standpoint, but which will also hold you in good stead for your career (OB being a great example of such a subject, which some people don’t enjoy). Anyways, I think I will enjoy this term more than the previous one. Let’s hope the grade gods bless me as well 
It’s the last core term and you can sense a change. The monsoon season has given way to placement season. Light drizzles of resume workshops and resume review sessions with alums have begun. This rainfall is only going to get heavier in the coming weeks. Couple that with the fact that folks now have to figure out what electives to take (so that they get better jobs) and you realize that everything you do from now on is career focused. I just picked all sorts of interesting subjects and the way the dice have landed, it seems I get to be a dual major in strategy and marketing. Marketing?!?! Me??? I am not your charismatic ’sales’ guy. But then whoever thought marketing was all about advertising and sales is so hopelessly wrong. There are some fascinating topics that are quant oriented as well, which I think I’ll enjoy (especially given the fact that I *loved* marketing decision models). So yeah, marketing it is. We’ll see how that pans out. But indicative bidding is still a couple weeks away. So, some more reviews with alums and I’ll be able to let you know exactly what I’ll be concentrating on.
I’m presently working on an initiative to help students with personal interviews, taking part in a couple of b-school competitions and just enjoying the falsely labeled ‘faff subjects’. Life’s good.
More on career prep stuff in future posts. I’m sure you’re waiting with bated breath
