LBS Full Time MBA vs Oxbridge MBA + MIT MSMS

No, Oxbridge MBA + MIT Masters is no better than M7 + LBS/Insead/IMD MBAs.

In my humble opinion, it depends entirely on your career goals. If you are a career changer, then maybe not. From what I know (my own experience from when I obtained my masters degree in international economics), your year in school should be spent not just on academics, you should be actively networking and looking for a job WHILE IN SCHOOL. So doing two degrees alone (esp in two different continents) breaks up that career seeking process.

Also, it depends on what continent you want to be on (and which you have work authorization for). Personally, I knew A LOT of Columbia Business School alums (I got my econ degree from columbia, and our program networked a lot with CBS) who were not Americans, and most of them could not obtain American employers who would sponsor their visa. So in their cases, just having a great name (and great career history prior to b school too) doesn't help them get a work visa.

My pt is, if you want to work in europe but dont have work authorization, you are better off focusing your efforts on job search with an EURO employers while you are still in school (because once your visa runs out, you gotta go). Vice versa for the states.

And coming from someone who has 11 yrs of work exp (and 7 of those as manager of teams), a MBA from a great school (or, in your case, combo of degrees) is impressive but that alone doesnt get you the job. Prior relevant work exp, skillset, personality all comes into play.

enkie thanks for the reply!
