Warwick MBA or ESSEC

Hello dear friends,

I need your help and advise. I have been working as a data analyst in consulting firms for 3 years in Paris. I had a Diplôme d’ingénieur (Master) degree in Computer Engineering (major in data) in France. I really want to follow an MBA program, cause I wanna finally find a Management job in IT firm or senior ANALYST in PE/IB. I have the Warwick MBA and ESSEC (MASTER IN MANAGEMENT) in my choice list. Could you pls help me?

  1. Which school is the target list for most of PE/IB/IT firm in US/CANADA/EU pls?
  2. Is MBA better evaluated than Master in management pls? For ESSEC is a Master, not MBA
  3. In France, obviously ESSEC is better (2nd in France), but perhaps I have a strong idea to move to Canada ( or maybe US in California)
  4. I haven't considered US MBA programs because I don't have a GMAT, and it seems too much hard for me. These two schools do not require GMAT this year because of coronas virus. Few top US MBA programs such as University of Iowa Tippie College of Business, University of Minnesota, Gies Ilinois will waive Gmat, but they seem to be less reputed than Warwick (I imagine).

Thank you so much

Regards Jacques
