Would like to hear some insights about the HSG placement in Switzerland for non EU students - Currently B1 in french and would most likely reach C1 until my graduation. Insights regarding the environment as a whole, challenges for international students (visa, language) barriers and any other insights would be massively helpful

HSG MBF has a 100% placement rate (only MiF program with 100% right after graduation). Many stay in Switzerland (because of $$$), others go to London or Frankfurt/Munich. While it's difficult for foreigners to get a job in CH, HSG is your entry ticket.
Program is taught in English and many students cannot speak any Swiss languages. The cohort is quite German-heavy, though. Nevertheless, you won't have any problems without speaking local languages.
Curriculum is challenging.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for the info, do you know anyone from the alumni with a situation similar to mine (non EU) that I can connect to?
Try LinkedIn. Might be tricky as you cannot filter for the relevant criteria, but I am sure you'll find some
Unfortunately, I am not willing to give out personal contacts
Out of curiosty, why would some Swiss kids go to London/Frankfurt given that pay is better at CH? (and I assume quality of life is better too?)
Is it because of deal experience, networking, cv? Or perhaps they couldnt find something in CH and they were forced to apply outside?
Well they don't, the ones going to London are mostly non-Swiss students
