I'm having trouble making this decision and I have to do so by the end of this week. My main concern is the reputation of Oxford vs IESE and what that can provide in the long run.
I live in the Middle East, and over very few people have even heard of IESE. On the other hand I do want to work in Europe and not the Middle East, most preferably England, and I do prefer the 2 year program that IESE offers because I come from a technical background.
Experts, what do you suggest?

Hi Heyziz,
Both are great schools. If you're looking to switch careers, IESE is better simply due to the 2 year program. Don't worry about the name so much, recruiters know what IESE is, and those are the individuals you should be looking to impress
However, Oxford's brand is great. If you want to work in England, it would not hurt to go to Oxford. If the industry that you want to go into is really strong at Said, I would definitely take a look at it.
Without knowing much more about you, I would suggest IESE.

Hi Cantona,
Thanks for the reply. Exactly my thoughts. I'm actually a pharmacy graduate with 4 years of experience in sales and later business development consulting. interested in both healthcare and consulting.
Healthcare is more or less equal at both schools in terms of sector employment after graduation.
This is a tough question to answer I think, but how much easier would it be to get a job in the UK from Said versus IESE, considering the fact that more European employers in general recruit from IESE?
Appreciate the advice, thanks!
