Hey Everyone!
I was recently accepted to both full-time MBA programs at Alliance Manchester Business School, UK and IE Business School, Spain. I am an Indian female with 9 years of experience in the IT Industry with 2 years 6 months of international experience of working in UK and my goal is to work in management roles in Tech firms like Amazon post my MBA in UK/Europe. I am having a hard time deciding since IE is a very good school in terms of its program and alumni network and a top ranked school in Europe and these are what attracted me to the school but what I hear after speaking to current students and alumni that the job market in Spain is very bad for Non-Europeans and most Non-europeans are going back to their own countries post MBA whereas even though Manchester is a lower ranked school but it does quite well in placing its international students in UK and have received good feedback about the career services of Manchester. I have received 30% scholarship at IE and 15% at Manchester (but I have asked for more), so I am getting more inclined to join Manchester. However I would like to get some advice from GMATClub members on how I should approach this decision or any insight on which school I should be leaning towards?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Hi and congratulations on your admits. I have heard similar feedback over the years about business schools in Spain. If you’re planning to work in Europe, and especially in Spain, you are expected to know Spanish with a few exceptions. If you look at the employment reports, you will see that many of the graduates end up working outside of Spain. I haven’t looked at the latest report but the one from last year I think had 70-80% working outside of Spain. It’s a good program but not a great country to find MBA positions.
I think you’re doing the right thing by talking to the current students and getting first-hand experience feedback. Your lengthy work experience may come in handy for locating a job. That’s a good thing.
If you already have UK work experience, does it make sense for you to stay in the UK? Do you have a good brand names on your resume? What about the work permit you get after graduation from IE or MBS? Is the UK work permit better or active for a longer time?
Do you have a network you could rely on to get a job? Would it be easier for you to leverage that network if you graduated from Manchester or from IE? I am guessing MBS but that’s something only you know.
PS. MBS does have some cool elements to the program such as the final project structured as a consulting gig in the quarter. It seems like a great way to showcase yourself in front of a potential employer and that could be the reason moore graduates are finding jobs....
