Hi all,
Career target is either MBB or Strategy in a large corporation (possibly industrial).
No scholarship in any, but money is not a factor in the decision.
I value the people, the environment and growth opportunities.
Thoughts?
Thanks

Kellogg or Insead here. Stern would be better choice here for IB
Insead is the easiest way to get into a MBB or strategy firm-however it’s the Europe vs USA discussion
Opportunities in these uncertain times of coronavirus
I personally think that given that Europe has been hammered horribly with coronavirus, once the dust settles - they’ll start rebuilding their businesses and that rebuilding effort will take over 4-5 years, there will be a lot of “strategy” opportunities in Europe. The businesses in Europe might just hire a lot of consultants for strategy, turnaround, M&A, process improvement.
While “experts” here will talk about diversity of industry here vs diversity in Europe, I feel the industries are the same in both continents with technology innovation being the only separator (from my work in CA, I know that they don’t use consultants for innovative products/services-Steve Jobs set the tone to hate consultants)
The other thoughts that I heard on this site is about a risk averse approach where you consider a two year program over a one year program because the dust will calm in two years, you’ll have a clear path with additional information about the markets/industries.
USA MAY have a different leadership, so priorities may be different.
If there is a new president, he will have a risk averse approach where the tax cut, risk reporting cut would be rolled back and Obamacare will be back
If the president continues, then the effort would be to fix the economy that has been hit because of coronavirus
If you want to pull the bandaid, it’s Insead and if you want to a have a risk averse approach it’s Kellogg
If additional analysis is to be done because of all the uncertainties, wait for a year and make an informed decision next year, by then you’ll know the status in Europe and in USA

Kellogg seems to be the best option here, especially if you are interested in consulting in the states. Important to note that you would also have the opportunity to do a term at INSEAD via the exchange program if you really wanted the experience.
To me, this seems like the better option than the other way around. A lot going on with recruiting and securing a job/internship to do a term abroad if you were at INSEAD. Time for building relationships with classmates is much more limited in a 10 month program.
