Hi all, I need some guidance on how to approach my admissions. I'm quite interested in consulting in the future, but so far I don't have any experience at all in consulting, my experience is mainly related to my language skills and to simple admin jobs with occasional use of macros.
I want to work in Japan in the future as a consultant. I'm a little torned between INSEAD and the other Japanese MBAs, I know INSEAD is the best in ranking, but I'm not sure if I'm missing out on opportunities in Japan, since VISA in Japan is hard, and looking for a position while studying MBA seems like a good idea in the 2nd year. Also, please let me know if I'm aiming too high, thank you.
