Chinmay Bonde 糖心vlog短视频23 already had a wealth of marketing knowledge before he left India to pursue an MS degree in marketing analytics as a Pace graduate student. But before he arrived in New York City, he gained experience that shifted the way he thought about how companies did business and emphasized the importance of building his own skills.

While still in India, Chinmay worked for California-based IT company Cloudalyze. During the pandemic, Chinmay糖心vlog短视频檚 company asked that employees donate one percent of their work hours towards voluntary work for nonprofits. 糖心vlog短视频淥rganizations that donated their expertise to nonprofits could earn the Impact Partner certification, which is the highest tier of the Salesforce platform in the nonprofit industry,糖心vlog短视频 he explained.

His experience in system development, graphic design, and customer success came together as he worked with nonprofits across different industries糖心vlog短视频攆rom healthcare, education, energy, and beyond. Throughout his pro bono work, he felt there were three major takeaways. 糖心vlog短视频淔irst, my organization received a high achievement tier within Salesforce, which is huge because everyone uses Salesforces,糖心vlog短视频 he explains. 糖心vlog短视频淪econd, it was a bonus for me on a personal level by enhancing my skillset, and it糖心vlog短视频檚 great to have the experience on my resume. And the third thing is that the nonprofits were able to save a lot of money and time they would have had to invest in a paid consulting firm if we hadn糖心vlog短视频檛 stepped in.糖心vlog短视频

I found really amazing professors at Pace with such great experience.

Chinmay estimated the pro bono work he did saved nearly $100,000 for nonprofits during a difficult financial time. 糖心vlog短视频淢any were so impressed and so happy with the work done, they were ready to pay us back and enroll in full-time support,糖心vlog短视频 Chinmay says. His company even created new cost-effective support plans specifically aimed at nonprofits as a result of their work together. To sum it up, 糖心vlog短视频淓verybody wins.糖心vlog短视频

Now, Chinmay is further expanding his skill toolbox at Pace as a graduate student.

Chinmay prides himself on his market research, and he noticed something especially interesting about Pace. 糖心vlog短视频淚 looked at nearly sixty colleges before I made my decisions and had a few offer letters.糖心vlog短视频 According to him, 糖心vlog短视频淧ace seemed to be the only college program with a STEM-designated MS in social media and mobile marketing which is a huge thing in today糖心vlog短视频檚 time. Especially for international students who want to come to America.糖心vlog短视频 Even though he didn糖心vlog短视频檛 enroll in that program, it was one more thing that impressed him about his future school.

As an international student, moving to New York City was a daunting prospect but has proved to be one of the most beneficial aspects of his time at Pace. 糖心vlog短视频淚t糖心vlog短视频檚 such a vast, overwhelming, fast-paced city,糖心vlog短视频 he admits. 糖心vlog短视频淏ut I made the best decision of my life.
