Hey guys, I'm Sanjana Sanjay and right now I live in Bangalore, India.
I have recently been offered admission into the MIM programmes at ESSEC and INSEAD. I'm having a hard time deciding between the two and I was hoping you guys could help me out.
ESSEC's programme has been in existence for a long time and its employment report is excellent. Moreover, it gives me more opportunities to work and undertake internships.
INSEAD has started the MIM programme only this year and therefore there are no employment stats or alumni for me to rely on. However, it has outstanding brand value and is considered the place to go to for consulting.
INSEAD has a one year programme while the ESSEC programme is two years.
Given that I aspire to enter the consulting industry, I'm confused between these schools. Do you guys have any advice or recommendations (ignoring the financial aspect of the studies)?
I would highly welcome and appreciate any input

Hey Sanjana28,
First of all, Congratulations on your admits!
Well, it is very clear that you are super-inclined towards the Consulting industry. When it comes to consulting, you cannot go wrong with Either ESSEC or INSEAD, as the Tier 1 consulting firms would recruit from the Top 5 schools of their home country.
Here's what makes the difference - ESSEC has a stronger brand in France, while INSEAD has a stronger brand internationally. So if you want to work in International markets post your degree, INSEAD would give you wider options. If you are interested in setting in France, ESSEC can be a good choice.
But you must also make sure that the school you pick should be inclined towards your long term career goals.
(There are no career objectives that are specified)
ESSEC has an outstanding employment rate of 98.2% with an average salary of €65K. Also, the top recruiting sector is known to be Consulting & Audit with 35% followed by Finance and Health. On the other hand, the INSEAD program is newly launched so much data is not available for the same. INSEAD's MiM being a new program there are no statistics for the MiM program as such but the school has one of the strongest corporate networks internationally (Recruiters like BCG, Bain & Company, Accenture) and I am sure they will be utilizing the same network for their MiM program as well.
So it depends upon how long you would like your course duration to be and where you would like to work - If you brainstorm on the above points, you should be able to make a decision easily.
Hope this helped!

Thanks a ton for your input!
I would like to work anywhere in Europe or Asia. Given that I'm an international student, would it be hard for me to secure employment from ESSEC in consulting?
And does the fact that this would be the first INSEAD MIM batch raise a big concern? Or can I expect good quality recruiters like BCG and Bain?
