INSEAD vs Booth, Wharton, NYU, Columbia
So basically I’m admitted to INSEAD January intake. I have 1.5 years of finance experience in transaction and debt between boutique banks and Big4 (got laid off because of Covid).
Can I get BB IB while doing INSEAD? I have a preMBA internship coming up fund or debt IB. A bit confused 30M
Pros INSEAD: insead short and sweet Cons INSEAD: non finance specific school
Pros US schools: sure to get IB BB Cons US schools: long and expensive program
I would take any of Booth/Wharton/CBS/Stern over INSEAD, unless cost is a significant concern. Much better finance reputation, higher quality student body, and stronger international brands
Depends if you want to work in Europe or the U.S lol.
US schools are just far better set up to be a pipeline into IB. US offices have established associate pipelines from the top 15 business schools (although I would not say it's guaranteed), while EU/UK offices really don't hire associates out of MBA the way US offices do. Obviously *some* do, but I just don't think that you'll see the same 25+ banks recruiting associates that you see at W/B/C/S. So while you may be able to land an offer, I have to imagine it's less of a formalized pipeline.
At this point in your career, it doesn't make any sense to me why you would do anything except absolutely maximize your chances of getting into IB (assuming that's your goal), no matter the cost. You pay down that debt incredibly fast as an associate (my *signing* bonus was 70k) - that means going to one of the core 4 finance MBAs.
Thx for the solid advice:
1- as an international, what worries me is the visa sponsorship in the US
2-70K is awesome as a sign in bonus, I guess it makes sense
I agree with this post.
You do not state where you want to pursue IB (US/UK). If you want to pursue IB in US - you have to go with an US T15 B-school. INSEAD is a great "consulting" school, but the name struggles to makes its mark in the US. If you wanted IB in the UK - you really shouldve went with LBS instead of INSEAD. LBS places extremely well in London for Associates in IB. INSEAD sends some individuals to IB in UK/Singapore - but compared to the whole class, they are a very small number. INSEAD can help you network your way for IB, but they do not have a streamlined way like LBS does for UK IB or any T15 for US IB.
If IB is your main goal no matter what, you need to go to US school. If IB in UK is your main goal with consulting as your plan B, you need to take your chances with INSEAD and network REALLY hard or aim for LBS.
Sorry for hijacking the post, as an american who wants to relocate to Europe, should I look primarily at European schools like INSEAD for my MBA?
INSEAD or LBS.
If you're absolutely certain of what you want to do post MBA then go INSEAD since its a 1 year degree but you will be living in the middle of no where at Fontainebleau. If you know an European language even better.
Though I think if you want London LBS is the better option. LBS I would say is more "prestigious" and places not only well in London but also in continental Europe.
Depends where in Europe.
LBS - Can place you mainly in UK and anywhere in Europe - given you know the regional language
INSEAD - Mainly consulting for anywhere in Europe/Middle East/Asia. You need to know 3 languages to graduate anyway.
HEC-Paris - Regional school. Places somewhat in UK - but need to know regional language of the country you want to go to.
IESE - Same as HEC-Paris with somewhat of expanded network in LATM and Middle East
Oxbridge - U.K Regional Schools.
My goal is to hopefully get 2-3 years in Europe before I can get back in the states.
Whaaat?? Did you just say LBS is more prestigious than INSEAD? Not true, whatever way you look at it.
No necessarily top US programs place well in Europe t15 m7
CBS or Wharton for sure…
You would have to be insane to take INSEAD over any of these if you want to maximize options for IB. Maybe INSEAD if you are interested in EU consulting, but even then I feel like Wharton is so strong that you may get even better placement (bc huge alumni base + the few W grads that want EU jobs place incredibly well).

In London IBD, you can 100% get IBD from Insead. It is the best school in Europe (LBS sends more alumni but that’s only because of location and is seen as less prestigious / selective than Insead in recent years).
If anything, because Insead focuses so heavily on consulting, I noticed insead folks who wanted banking generally got IBD somewhere.
Of course, the above only applies to London / Asia banking. In the U.S., Insead is still seen as the most prestigious b school outside the U.S. (but its name recognition remains very poor). If you want to stay in the U.S., even US T15 is better. If you’re looking to do banking in Asia, Middle East or Europe, outside of H/S/W you’re probably better off at insead because of 1 year ROI, overall prestige, and very elite and tight knit alumni network.
