Shachar Cohen’s Post

“How to thrive as an introvert at HBS.” That was the subject line of the very first HBS newsletter I received in 2018. At the time, I hadn’t even started my undergrad degree. Not that any of it was relevant, but I wanted that newsletter in my inbox as a reminder, something to keep in the back of my mind. Seven years later, here I am, on campus, three weeks into the MBA journey at Harvard Business School. This comes after an incredible year at McKinsey & Company in the Tel Aviv office, that completely reset my expectations for myself and for what I want in my career. I grew more than ever before, and got to work alongside some of the most talented (and fun) people I’ve met. Just a small note: we have a spare room waiting for you to visit. Yes, it’s far, and I know it’s not as shiny as New York, but I promise a good time. You’ll even get to sit in on an HBS class, yay
