whu v mannheim

ps this isnt a pissing contest, jost found something weird

from reading a few posts on wso and the german ste wiwi-treff ive found that these 2 are the best schools in germany, however after stalking linkedin ive found out that there are a few people who get ib jobs in london from whu but none from mannheim after a bsc(like actually 0), why is this, also in general whu looks a lot better form jobs perspective, am i missing something here?

also on a side note, any whu alum here, have a few questions if you could take the time

 

Why not consider HSG, I know quite a few people from here who landed jobs in London (and you still have the option to work in the DACH region if that’s what you want)

Hi, I am a WHU alum, so I can Probably chime in.

1) Only doing a Bsc. in Germany is not that common. Pre-Bologna Reform you could only Graduate with a „Diplom“ (equivalent to Bsc. + Msc.). Some of that still remains in German Patents / employers, and doing a Masters is Almost a requirement for MBB, some Rx-Positions etc. Also, much of what is written on WSO Tends to be US-centric. In Europe / DACH it is quite common for Banks to recruit from Masters programs.

2) London recruitment is largely driven by target/non-target-rationale, much More so than in Germany. Although WHU & Mannheim are both top-notch business schools in Germany, it is definitely helpful to go for a Tier-1 Masters to be successful in London-Recruiting.

3) Both Unis have Strong IBD-recruitment Channels in DACH. Some people prefer Frankfurt over London.

PN me in case you have any additional questions.

 

For a foreigner want to accumulate several internships then try London, which do you think will be more appropriate? French school GE or WHU/FSFM MOF? Much appreciate!
