HEC Paris vs Kenan Flagler vs Simon VS CUHK/ HKUST vs ESADE vs Said [#permalink] New post   05 Feb 2016, 05:07
Apologies in advance for a the longest and most awkward title!!! :? :? :?

I am a 32 year old Indian candidate (with private equity background), who is looking for opportunities in international financial domain- especially in private equity/ IB space. The options above are spread out over the world, given my age profile as well as my preferences for international mobility. Also, duration of program was a key factor (the shorter the better).

Scholarships/ grants are secondary as of now!

What do you think makes most sense for me.... thanks in advance for your response!!

Congratulations for admittance :-D

I know it is tough decision. Please refer to my post in the following link:

olin-tippie-boston-u-hec-paris-mcgill-schulich-manchester-212195.html

It may help you to take the right direction. You are not accepted to same school like the member in the post but you are pretty similar in the situation as whole.

My point is to ask if the university and county will allow to get your dream job or field.

You can consider Said as an option but try to get contact with students and alumni. Also you can read this following review about Said and may contact the students.

Thanks Mo2men, i agree with your review...it was very helpful. I believe i still have a lot of pondering to do. But i am trickling down to HEC and KF. Then i also have to take financing into consideration, given i have note received any scholarship from KF - which makes it pretty expensive.

Congratulations! How easy is it to get a work permit/visa in Hong Kong?

P.S. I would say all schools are pretty much on equal playing field and on par with each other. There are some good reviews about Oxford Said as mentioned by mo2men.

I would also encourage you to figure out where you want to work after graduation. It would be the deciding factor in terms of the location. You have Europe, Asia, US, and UK in your list - quite a spread with different chances of getting work permit after graduation and very different cultures/priorities/etc.

Thanks BB, i am getting more inclined towards HEC on a couple of reasons - shorter format, good mix of theory and practice plus post MBA international mobility, also the program's a bit light on pocket vs the US options. As a non-french speaker, i understand i am at a disadvantage in France - but thats an area of improvement i am planning to target.

HK work permits are relatively easier to get than Singapore/ UK, the markets are still open. However, unless working for a bulge bracket bank or MNC - language (mandarin) can be a big barrier.

On Said, apart from all the good things, the unfavorable aspect of the program seems like career support and relatively weaker alumni network.

I am getting down to Kenan Flagler and HEC (may be HKUST, with a good $$$ package).

Thanks,

Hi ananddas1984,

I'm happy that you have reached a decision. To have full info about Job economy in France, try to explore more articles, contact students beside visa after graduation. This will help you.
