still maintaining my base in accounting. My MBA positioned me
perfectly and being hired on at Intel was very fluid. I attended a Meet

what it was like to be in my shoes. Soon after, Intel offered me an
on-campus interview. Seeing the controller whom I had talked to
before made the interview very comfortable. My friends, family, and
colleagues were all impressed that I was able to complete my job
search without ever leaving the campus.”
