Alexander Titus:
My MBA from Santa Clara University helps me stay competitive with the knowledge that I have learned from a Silicon Valley-based core curriculum program.

I am Alexander Titus, I am a senior business planner doing pricing and packaging strategy at Microsoft. I went to Santa Clara University and received a Masters in Business Administration. As someone that had to work full-time to support their family, I found that the online MBA was best to suit my lifestyle, they're able to hook people up remotely, give them the same opportunities, give them the contact information and the same skill set. Same mindset still applies. Ethics were a key component of the MBA program at Santa Clara University.

Not just ethics, but ethics in Silicon Valley and ethics in business. And I appreciated the class because it set me up for success once I did get into the tech sector, we handle a number of wide-ranging ethical issues, and keeping that knowledge in my back pocket has certainly helped me with confidence and make the certain decisions that I needed.

My advice, given the macro economic climate right now where companies are laying off tons of people, is to do your due diligence. You've learned how to read the difference between whether the company is successful or maybe teetering, is the difference from being laid off and not being laid off in this industry, I feel 100% that earning my MBA at Santa Clara University helped me get into a tech company in Silicon Valley. I would have never been able to get a job at VMware, Salesforce, or Microsoft if it wasn't for learning the skills at Santa Clara University.
