Nayak, a graduate of Archbishop Wood Catholic High School in Warminster, entered graduate school at Drexel after earning a bachelor's degree in biochemistry at Chestnut Hill College. When it came time to begin looking for a job in January, she found 25 openings that interested her listed on the campus network. She interviewed on campus for a dozen of them, before paring her list to four. I appreciated that. But Nayak said what really appealed to her about IBM was the opportunity to work on a broad range of projects.
Consultants often travel extensively.
Nayak was relieved to learn that her IBM assignments would be limited to a 200-mile radius of Philadelphia. Nayak said she expects her biochemistry background will be valuable because IBM often works with pharmaceutical companies. But she said she has no regrets about pursuing a technical program.
