Hi all, guess everyone just can’t wait for the holidays, I for one certainly look forward to my one month long holiday.
Anyways, I currently have offers from two great schools and will be very much appreciated if anyone wants to share any insights. All welcome!
Background: Asian male, born overseas and have lived in England for over a decade. Currently working in consulting at an accounting firm in London.
Goal: short term work in London or US or HK or SG, consulting or corporate (retail, hospitality, luxury). Long term: strategy role in corporate/COO.
Struggles: Leaning towards Kellogg not only because how great it is but also an excuse to escape London for a bit. I don’t need a visa to work in London but will need to go through the lottery system in the US, I don’t mind working in the states if I can find work but not looking to change location permanently at least now. Concern is whether Kellogg is a strong enough brand for anything other than consulting and outside of the US? LBS is good for anything in London and a has good name in Asia due to its link with HK and maybe SG.
Thanks and happy holidays.

Congratulations on your admits.
I’m pretty sure you can score a consulting interview at either program. Do you have opportunities to interview and do on campus engagement with consulting companies. No one will obviously hand you a job, but you’ll have your chances…
At the same time, if you are recruiting 3 to 4 years after you received your business school, the potency and power of your degree starts to lose value. Imagine you going looking for a job now, would you be really trying to leverage your college name? My guess is you would probably connect with your current coworkers and your current professional at work, and potentially leverage some thing through LinkedIn, and you would only go back to your undergraduate Netwerk if you couldn’t come up with anything in your first attempt, and it’s more of a fallback and a weaker network that will be a bit dated by that time.
I guess my point is, it would be best to decide where you want to be immediately after graduation because that’s what would have the most impact on your decision. Kellogg is definitely a stronger brand and is one of the top five business schools in the world. At the same time recruiting in London from Chicago is going to be silly. Why leave only to come back.
I’m not super familiar with cost of living in London, but what I routinely hear from Europeans, who go to school in the US and then sometimes try to come back to Europe for consulting, they violently complain about the disparity of compensation and try to avoid working in Europe at all costs. Not some thing guy I am well-versed in, but my guess is you may have done some research about it. Perhaps this would tilt the interest level more towards US. You do have to deal with immigration a bit and jump some hoops. Kellogg is really strong in both tech and consulting. It’s pretty strong in many other areas as well but those are two huge placements for Kellogg….
Ultimately, there’s a lot of change and risk associated with Kellogg, but I think you also have proportionately more reward and opportunities, in terms of earning potential. LBS seems like it would present some good options to stay in London and continue to build your network and life there.
I would encourage you to spend more time thinking about companies and research jobs and openings to pursue. I want to times when you realize during recruiting is that some of the jobs or opportunities have circle prerequisites are not available for those who are not permanent residents in the US (eg hospitality, and energy jobs do not sponsor, for example). Similarly, if you’re looking for a S industry job in London, it may require you have industry experience first. It’s the research which will be useful for you during business school, and it will also help you make the better decision now.

Thank you! US pay is definitely very appealing but I just feel I might still have a chance for work life balance in Europe. I just hope Kellogg will still be as powerful as it is in the US, if I do end up going back to London for whatever reason right after MBA. But the US MBA and work/life experience is something I value a lot.
