European MBA vs American MBA

I completed my bachelors in another country and I moved to New York for good. Currently in Corp IB and thinking on making a career switch to IR or Consulting. Does it matter where I go for my MBA? I am nervous to have zero American credentials

It depends on where you want to stay and work afterwards.

If you want to stay in the US, a top 20 school will be better than most top international schools, the likes of Insead, LBS and Cambridge.

So to your, question, ranking isn't the only thing that matters.
