Hello everyone,
I found this amazing website by chance and read many awesome posts here. There are so many warm-hearted and knowledgeable guys here. Now I am considering ESSEC VS St.Gallen if admitted. I would like to hear your opinions. I have searched the existed posts, but there is few discussing ESSEC. If you know anything about the two schools, please don't hesitate to tell. Any suggestion and opinion is sincerely appreciated!
My brief profile: I plan to work in industry or consulting in Europe after MBA (hopefully Switzerland, France, or German), ; can only speak English and will learn French or German depending on which school I will go; have industry experience pre-MBA.
Hi Hardrunner,
Well on a broader note, if you want to work in German speaking Part of Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Liechtenstein then St. Gallen is definitely the place to be. St. Gallen as a Business school is already one of the best in Europe. The MBA which started in 2005 should soon take its place among the best of Europe too. St. Gallen is to the German speaking realm what Harvard and Wharton are to the States.
The college enjoys very strong industry connections across Switzerland and Germany. From what I have heard, German language speaking skills will make it easier to land a top gig through St. Gallen, although alumni have managed it without it too.
Hope this helps regarding St. Gallen.
Cheerz.
