MiM Programme Grand École at HEC or FT at Strategy& Dubai/Riyadh

Dear Monkeys,

I Hope you’re doing well.

I’m currently a senior finance student at a regional target in my home country.

I have a full time offer for Strategy& once I graduate, but I’m having a hard time deciding what I want to do.

I have a 335/340 GRE (168Q,167V), 3.8 GPA and extensive extracurricular involvement both academic and non academic

I also have internships in Big 4 consulting and M&A at a boutique.

Long term goal is consulting at MBB or IB at GS/MS/JPM

Given my profile, what are my chances of landing these types of jobs in France with a MiM at HEC or an MSc (MIF or MSM)? And what would you recommend I do?

If I decide to complete an MIF or MSM (1 year MSc Program), I will be able to use my strategy& offer and join as an Associate 1 with a 10K increase in base salary, if recruiting in France doesn’t work out.

Alternatively, if I decide to go for the MiM (2-3 year program) the best I can do is go for an internship at Strategy&, enhance my profile and go all in for France.

Please keep in mind that I’m fluent in French, so it shouldn’t be a hurdle.

Thank you for consideration, I look forward to your guidance as I’m seriously lost :)
