I'm a 28 y old M planning to do an MBA in IE (Madrid) or IESE (BCN)
My background:
• Engineer/Customer Engineer / IT Sales in Top Big tech. Currently, in Munich, Germany [specialized in Data Science; Cybersecurity, and overall Operations Management]
• Previous co-founder of successful scale-up (7M$ investment). COO
• Some experience in consulting (did not enjoy the lifestyle of early positions)
My future plans:
• Stay in Iberia (PT or ES) - with the flexibility to work there or in other locations
• Main areas of interest: big tech, scale-ups; Have also thought about pharma, banking, and consulting - I tend to do OK in more political/corporate settings.
My doubts between IESE and IE:
• IESE looks better on the ranks and looks great to prepare for a more corporate setting like banking /consulting
• IE is not so good on the ranks, however, has great prestige in Iberia and a great curriculum towards tech (specially scale-ups) - BUT I am already very fluent in Big tech so I'm worried I will not learn a lot
What wisdom can you share?
Thanks in advance,

Hi pcs any prestige that you might find on the peninsula with regards to IE would also apply to IESE. IE had a scandal that disqualified them from being ranked a few years ago and there's still been a little bit of fallout from that, I'm not sure if prodigy has been restored as one of their lenders but they weren't for awhile. I’ve read their career services is not great either. IESE is great at marketing and family business, they have an entrepreneurship summer school - I think your needs will be met there no matter which direction you take. I feel a 2 year program (or 19 months rather – with 15 mos option) is ideal if you aren’t sure of the path you want to take, the internship is super important to test drive your #1 reason to get a positive ROI from an MBA. Also, IESE alumni are rabidly loyal. Also you'll be recruitable throughout Europe, for example my clients who graduated from there last year are located in Amsterdam and Germany and neither are from either of those places. So it just kind of shows you that they can help you throughout EU and not just in Spain.
