ESADE, IESE, IE, etc. for US job placement (US citizen) [#permalink]
 04 Jan 2012, 12:21
Hello,
I am an American citizen currently thinking of applying to MBA programs in Spain for 2013 intake, and was hoping to get some thoughts about employment prospects back in the states post-graduation. I understand the traditional path would be attending a US program, but spending a year or two in Spain, making international contacts, and taking my Spanish language skills to the next level are serious motivating factors.
I have nearly 7 years post-undergrad experience in Sales/Marketing at CPG Manufacturers (F500 and privately equity held), and am looking for a boost to take my career to the next level, but not necessarily a major industry change. I'd be open to working for a year or two in Europe (I know being a non-EU citizen may make that difficult), but ultimately want to land back in the US in a role of increased responsibility in my field.
Any thoughts, positive or negative, on this path would be greatly appreciated.

Although I do not have sufficient knowledge of IE and IESE programs, I do hear that ESADE has a pretty good reputation on the marketing side of things. From their employment reports however it looks as if a good majority of students end up working in Europe. Also I do think that if you have to build good international contacts then you will need to work outside US for a while. In my opinion getting back to US will largely depend on your networking efforts. Nothing wrong with your plans (honestly they are quite realistic) but be prepared to work for them. Also with the way Europe - and Spain in particular - is looking right now you should really think long and hard about your plans.

There are many US job offers at IESE (that are caught mainly - but not exclusively - by american students). As far as I know, many of them find a job in Europe if they want to stay (mainly in UK, but also in other countries, with an acceptable knowledge of the local language). IESE also has Spanish lessons and people get to know the language soon.
