About you

You are in the final year of the EDHEC Master in Management-Business Management and chose the MSc in Data Analytics & Artificial Intelligence for your Master 2. What are your job aspirations?

After graduation, I plan to work in digital marketing. According to Statista, global retail e-commerce sales grew by more than 25 percent since this pandemic crisis.

As we know, data and analytics are the keys to digital marketing.

The Alumni network. During my internship research, I tried to send some cold messages to EDHEC alumni. They were so welcome and professional. I did learn some interview tips and got some interview opportunities from them. I hope I could help other alumni in the future.
