Title. We all know American MBA programs are far better but the cost of it is astronomical. What about an MBA from a French university in europe? It's rhe absolute top of the top, significantly cheaper and easier to get into but doesn't have the brand value of Buisness schools in the US. Also it's just a 10 month program instead of the 2 years in the US.

Good but thing with MBA career progression is that the degree is easy but hard work is after you graduate and trying to aim for that high paying corporate administrative job.

Social skills and knowing what you want is more important. I took MBA + Accounting ( won't name where since my face is shown publicly on the university's page ).

Now earning very good but most of my peers still stuck with shitty salary.

If money is a problem, do it in Europe. Amazing programs


good choice tbh
Money is a problem nigga. The cost of an MBA at Wharton is literally $300,000 and that is after the rigorous selection process. You can literally buy a large house with that kind of money.

Many of my seniors also told me, that I needed some work experience before I consider an MBA because an MBA degree itself isn't as valuable as a degree in STEM. You basically paying for "brand value" of an MBA from a prestigious school and the alumni networks

In my pre final year and I want to stay in uni for a few more years. Will probably get a masters degree immediately after I graduate or after a few years of work experience unless I get some exceptionally high paying offer

Cass Business School or Imperial has more prestige and as such is more expensive

100 percent on this. Which is why I JFLed at this reply below .

It's not about the education, it's about the name and logo on your certificate.

I see. Best to start early but if you need time then don't rush it.

You most likely won't get exceptionally high pay unless maybe you are directly under GM role in a foreign euro or American company.

Like production manager etc.

Go on Wall Street Oasis for this kind of advice. I'm more familiar with US placements and ranking but from my understanding INSEAD is on par with lower T20 US schools and does ok in placements in Europe. What are you planning to do post MBA? IB or consulting then break into buyside?
