For France, even if you did Harvard and HEC you will have a hard time getting a job in mgmt. consulting. You need fluent french. This is the case in most firms. You could always target London or Dubai though.
While I would say your profile is good, I am sure the admissions committee would question the MBA to MSc choice. Perhaps you should look at MBA programs as well. Good luck!

Hi alejandroMSc2014,
I'm pretty interested in the MSc in Strategic Management Program at HEC and will definitely be applying later this year. Just wanted to get a few doubts clarified regarding the post-MSc job scenario there:
1. After I complete my courses, I'd be very keen on working in Europe, western probably and that too in Consulting (I've been working in PwC India for almost a year now, since getting out of college). I've studied French in school for 3 years and have also spent 3 months in Paris doing a research internship during my engineering days. So, I'm aware of the need for French while staying in Paris. But I'm not fluent enough, maybe at most B2 level. And I'm poor at listening to people conversing fast in French too.
2. I have business level proficiency in Spanish and can communicate pretty comfortably with others. Listening is not a problem either.
- So, is it possible to get into consulting firms in France after passing out of the MSc program?
- If not France, do consulting firms in Spain entertain students from HEC as well, considering I'm capable of conversing well in Spanish? Or firms in nearby countries (Belgium, Switzerland). Not very keen on working in the UK or returning back to India, for atleast a few years.
- Lastly, approximately how many students in a batch get into the top consulting firms (MBB and ATK, OW, Roland Berger etc)?
Thanks.

-Perhaps I should clarify something I said in the last post. Fluent french is required for France if you are targeting top-tier consulting firms. There are some niche consulting firms that require specialized knowledge so I would suggest you to target those.
- I am not 100% sure about other countries. I can tell you that the HEC brand is very strong in Spain. So yes, it is most certainly feasible. Keep in mind strategy consulting in Spain might not be a growing business at the moment. As you probably know strategy consulting work should correlate with economic growth. As for the other countries, I am not sure as they were not my targets but I do know consulting firms hire non-native speakers is Luxembourg.
-It's hard to say at this point. I would wait for the program's next brochure.
