Hi everybody,
I am interested in entering the Strategy Consulting sector after a Masters degree, and I want to know which program would be better suited for that
1) IE Business School MIM with specialization in Strategic Management
2) ESSEC SMIB
I wish to learn and gain as many useful skills as possible related to the sector and get some internship experience before finding a job.
Factors to consider:
1) I'm an Indian, so getting a work visa would be an issue
2) The IE MIM would include a 25% scholarship
3) I have some preference for working in Europe, but it's not absolutely necessary for me to get work there. In the case of IE, if I can't find work in Europe, I would have to return to India
4) I am an engineering undergrad from a top-ranked NIT with some good grades and scores, decent extracurriculars and leadership positions, 1 Data Analytics intern under my belt and 1 biomedical AI intern upcoming, which would amount to 8 months of work experience before the programs start in September
5) I may do an MBA in the future, so getting work in a good firm would be very important
6) I am honing my programming and ML skills and I am practising French, which I learnt before to some extent
7) I would like the cohort and extracurriculars to be good
Thanks in advance for your replies

Congratulations on getting offer from colleges. Both of them are great colleges in terms of global and employbility reputation.
However, you must check the post grad work visa rules for Spain. Getting work visa in Spain is not easy and Post Grad you will be receiving visa for 1 year I suppose. Plus language is definitely a barrier if you don't know any from start.
Since you already have knowledge in French. Want to go jn strategic consulting, I will say Essec is a better choice.
But, the decision lie on you.
French people are patriotic people, preferring their mother tongue over any language and consulting requires a great hold on local language. Keep both in mind and I am sure you will find what will be better for you.
Good luck 😊
