Hi all,
I got admitted with LBS, Kellogg 2 y, and Insead (Jan intake) this year and it's really hard for me to make decisions here. Thereforewould like to seek for advise on this platform.
I'm originally from Asia and seeking for the role of Product Manager/Project Manager in a tech firm after my MBA. Ideally to work in Europe or Asia.
I know getting into tech Kellogg should be a no-brainer, however, I'm not really interested in working in the US and leaner to the lifestyle in Europe. Moreover Kellogg is pretty expensive and I got quite a pressure without scholarships.
I do like the supportive community & education in Kellogg but also struggled with the great location of LBS, intimate student relationships & high efficiency (1Y) in Insead. I will say I care about the school vibes, relationships between classmates, and career support the most when choosing, but it is just so hard to tell.
I love London the city and would like to spend some time in my life there, but I think maybe I still got chance to move there after graduation. For the case of Insead, I know students are living together which creates a stronger bonding, plus that I will have a 6-month gap before the start of school which allows me to go on some traveling. This is really attractive to me of the career gap!
Does anyone have ideas about the school's career support for tech areas for LBS & Insead?
Pre-MBA : 5 years working in Tech (IT consultant, PM)
Post MBA goal : FAANG or startups, (prefer in Europe/Asia)
Thank you all!!

Have you looked at employment reports for your target firms for each program? Would also check into internship recruitment numbers. If you can find people with similar backgrounds that went to each school on linked in. My inclination is LBS because it’s in your target area and the bc program is of customizable length.

Congrats on your admits!
Wherever you go, I recommend embracing the culture. If you go to Europe, you need to embrace the culture of the country you’ll be in to be successful. Otherwise being a foreigner for an extended period of time sucks. So if you’re planning to live in Germany, then learn German. If there’s any tech in France, then learn French. You probably should anyway if you will be on the European campus vs Singapore.
At the same time, if you’re planning to recruit in Singapore or Asia, then you may as well time so that you spend some time in Singapore around the time you need to be recruiting.
Something to keep in mind, every single office of the FAANG companies is based in the US. They have offices all over the world but those are peripheral and you also make about half the money you would make in the US. Several people I know from LBS have complained about salaries in London vs US and anyone who can look for a job in the US, that’s where they’re recruiting. Having said that, there’s been a bubble in tech recruiting that seems to be may be reaching its peak now but I would consider why you want to be in Europe and where you want to be in Europe. Is it really just London and Amsterdam? Or are you expecting and planning to learn another language?

But INSEADers go out of way to stay connected and you may utilize the 6 months you have before the class begins bonding and travelling with other students.
