any European IBers on here know about this?
I'm not a European IB, but I have done some reading on Euro career paths in general. Compared to the USA, it is definitely the case that the MBA degree is less necessary and potentially avoidable altogether. I can say with some certainty that not having an MBA in Europe will be less restrictive than it is in the USA.
