Hi folks,

I have been invited to interview for the INSEAD 24D MBA cohort. My post-MBA goal is consulting at UK, Middle East, Stockholm or Germany. Prior experience at BB IB, boutique strategy consultancy, and tech consulting.
Coming from India how feasible is it to recruit for these offices? How is the current recruitment scenario?
I would really appreciate insights from alums and current students.

Many thanks in advance.

If you are accepted to INSEAD, you will have plenty of opportunities to recruit for consulting roles at all of these offices. It's less about your place of origin (barring immigration/visa issues) and more about where you are coming from in an MBA program. INSEAD, as you would expect, recruits very well into the European and MENA offices.

If we are misinterpreting your situation (or question), please let us know.

Hi,

I had a chat today with one of my past applicants currently studying at INSEAD about this topic. They specifically mentioned its a tough year but had the confidence that as an INSEAD students, the class will see it through.
Further what I understood is that its easier if you are a sponsored candidate / have an offer to go back to your pre MBA recruiter. Maybe you should try working such an arrangement with your employer if that's something that works for you.

The UK and Middle East are the more feasible ones right now. Be proactive in networking for opportunities there, and also reach out to the offices of your prior employers (if they have presence in these regions). Start speaking to consulting club folks and mapping our your future recruiting strategy right away. By 2024D things should be a lot better than they are right now.
