At that point, a successful graduate will be taking on increasing responsibility and may be ready to ascend to a top leadership position. When Nitin Nohria, the dean of Harvard Business School, wants to know whether HBS graduates have been successful, he takes a look at where they’re working between five and 10 years after graduation. “What we want is to have students, 10 years later, be at an arc in their lives where they really feel that they’re gaining increasing responsibility,” Nohria told Business Insider. “They feel ready to run a company; … [Read more...] about The dean of Harvard Business School isn’t impressed by flashy, high-paying first jobs after graduation — to see who’s successful, he looks at an another measure entirely
