If you want to work in London, go to LBS. If you want to work in Paris, go to HEC. If you want to work in the US, choose a US school.
LBS is better globally.
If you have no experience go HEC not LBS. The Gap Year option will help you transition to Finance and get a great job in London or Paris if you can learn French. At LBS you will apply right away with just an engineer job and it will be hard for you to get real tier 1 internships/job
I disagree. As an indian guy, it's going to much harder to fit in HEC vs LBS. Additionally, learning French isn't as easy as you would think for a person from Asia.
I will assume you have no work authorisation and will need visa sponsorship. If this is the case, you benefit a lot from studying at a UK university due to certain legal exemptions if you want to work in London. It will be much tougher trying to get a job in France without speaking French.
Engineering background is valued in the CV screening process. It can also work in your favour. A non-finance/econ grad who got the technical questions down is much more impressive. However, you will certainly benefit from having some kind of finance/IBD work experience.
Work authorization are also good for France but anyway HEC places people in Finance in London and Hong Kong for the most part. Grads who work in France in Finance are the Goldman guys or some M&A at SoGen & Lazard.
If you coming to HEC knowing French is going to make things much easier. Also I mean at least B1 level french to start with.
Hey there, I am an econ graduate student at LSE. I would like to help you answer your question to my best capability. Btw, right now I have an offer from a few business schools in France, which includes HEC Paris through SAI application. I also recently completed LBS interview for their MiM program and awaiting a reply. So my options for post-grad study are in fact the same as yours but I am interested in working at MBB in Europe for a couple of years before returning to my home country, Vietnam. Regarding your question, speaking from personal experience as a three-year undergrad in LSE, unless you got stellar internships or work experience in finance (Big 4 or BBs in your home country), it will be insanely tough to land even an interview for a Middle office role in a middle market investment bank but still I don't think it is impossible (although you must hustle a lot!) One thing I am curious of is to know why LBS MiM and not MiFA, you came from an engineering background and could use the technical training from such degree
You seem to be very heavy on LBS which I can understand. I hope you come from IIT or BITS because it is tough in one year to go from India to fInance in Europe. If you have some time go have a look at where the indians who graduate from LBS in 2017 with undergrad from India are doing after the LBS MiM. Can't find a single one in a bank or in a big company outside India. I wish you a better luck than them.
