I got accepted to the Carlson school part-time mba program this week (University of MN). I want to move to mid-level/upper-level management sometime (from my engineering position), does anyone have experience moving from a technical role to those types of roles? Do I have a better chance if I move companies after finishing my MBA?

I got an email from school this week, regarding our orientation next week (they included a link to a business case that they want to discuss at orientation).

What's the best play at orientation? Meet as many people as possible? Is it normal to exchange business cards or get linked in contact info, etc? Should I try to meet faculty?

I just finish the first semester of my MBA program. I have a CS undergraduate degree but I am increasingly interested in finance. Do you folks have any tips on how to move into finance without job experience? I am in the Minneapolis area, which has a number of hedge funds, private equity firms, and some smaller investment banks. I've heard furious networking can help land a job here, but are there any things I can focus on over the next few years to get my poo poo together for an interview close to graduation?
