Hello,

I am an American citizen currently thinking of applying to MBA programs in Spain for 2013 intake, and was hoping to get some thoughts about employment prospects back in the states post-graduation. I understand the traditional path would be attending a US program, but spending a year or two in Spain, making international contacts, and taking my Spanish language skills to the next level are serious motivating factors.

I have nearly 7 years post-undergrad experience in Sales/Marketing at CPG Manufacturers (F500 and privately equity held), and am looking for a boost to take my career to the next level, but not necessarily a major industry change. I'd be open to working for a year or two in Europe (I know being a non-EU citizen may make that difficult), but ultimately want to land back in the US in a role of increased responsibility in my field.

Any thoughts, positive or negative, on this path would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

Just wondering what you ended up deciding regarding IE, and how it worked out for you. I'm in a similar situation as you, sales/CPG/entrepreneur background as an american, looking for some international experience and exposure to international recruiters as well as perfecting my language skills via IE MBA. I have an interview with them in a week. I am a dual american/italian however, so employment in Europe not a problem after graduation. Be great to hear what you decided, how it worked out. Hearing a lot of mixed reviews on hear about IE, but many of them seem to be coming from people who don't have the language skills or work permits for EU region. The school continually ranks well on every list and their placement reports are excellent.

Any alumni or current students, feel free to chime in........
