Hi. Currently doing BBA from a public university in Bangladesh. I want to join top MIM's such as HEC paris, ESSEC or LBS right after graduation. As per my research they don't require work exp but still most of the students seems to complete internship before joining the course. In my town, there is little emphasis on prior graduation, and even if such opportunities exist, the quality of work experience may not align with my desired career path after completing my Master's in Management (MIM).
I was thinking about publishing papers on banking and finance as I want to join a front office finance role upon graduation.
- Do you think it could be alternative to internships?
- Will it put equivalent weight to internships in the application
