I have admit in Europe from IE, ESADE, ESSEC, and alliance manchester and in US from William & mary ( mason ) and babson. I was not able to apply at better US college due to limited time availibility. I have a prior auditing experience of 5 years at a BIG 4 firm in india, and then 2 more years in growing my own family business. My goal is to work at a good consulting firm (prefferably MBB) with a good package for 2-3 years, and then come back to india and grow my family business or start my new business. IF i consider rankings, then its a no brainer, because all the europeon colleges mentioned above are ranked way higher, but my doubt rises because i have heard that indians have lot of problem in finding jobs in europe ( leaving UK ) because they dont know the local language, and hence most of them have to come back to india to look for a job ( with too low wages ). On the other hand, doing mba from above 2 US college (STEM courses) would help me get a job security for 3 years ( with similar package to the top tier euoropeon schools mentioned above, at least as per their respective employement reports) It would really help to hear the opinions of the fellow GMAT club members in making my decesion. Should i go for the higher ranking school in Euorope with higher risk of securing job outside india or a lower ranking US school with higher safety of securing job in US.
Thanks

No disrespect to either, but with Mason or Babson, chances of converting an MBB are next to negligible. Especially in this time when Consulting landscape is still not entirely clear for the coming year.
So, I'd say, go to IE/ESSEC. They are far superior business schools and top consulting firms like Roland Berger, etc regularly recruit from there.
Also, take into consideration that US is currently going through a white-collar recession. Folks outside of T-15 schools are struggling to find opportunities and the situation isn't improving anytime soon. My honest advice would be to join ISB and save burning yourself a big hole in the wallet.

I agree. The caliber of students and opportunities that you will have in Europe will be much better… even if you get full scholarships for the US programs, those are really really outliers…
However, if you get full scholarships the experience and knowledge you receive in the low ranked programs will be comparable to you would get in a tough program outside of recruiting, reputation and alumni recognition as well as classmates. You would take a discount in that case but if you go is to go back to your family business, you may be able to do this faster if you had a full scholarship but I think that would be shooting yourself in the foot frankly so if you’re not Super financially constrained, I think the European programs present a better learning opportunity.
