Joining IE MBA this year (Indian student) – Looking for some insights

I am a 25F, Indian and will be joining IE Business School, Madrid (MBA) this year and wanted to get a realistic sense of outcomes for international students.

I come from a real estate background and am also building an early-stage venture in retail.

Would appreciate quick insights on:

* How well is IE recognized across EU, UK, and Middle East by employers?

* How feasible is work visa sponsorship in these regions post-MBA?

* Presence of IE alumni in global companies (consulting, tech, startups)?

* Feasibility of part-time jobs during the MBA

* Pivoting into tech/product roles from IE

* How to best leverage IE to land internships (on-campus vs off-campus, timing, strategies)

* How can I effectively network with IE alumni and industry professionals (before and during the MBA) to improve my chances of landing internships and full-time roles?

Looking for honest, practical inputs, especially from recent grads/current students.

Thanks!
