Hi Bruno N,
Not sure if this is the correct thread, but will you be able to give insights on the kind of job offers made post mba like are they mostly finance, marketing? I am interested in going into product management so do companies with these job profile come on campus?

First of all, kudos to you for having a clear objective in mind for pursuing an MBA. This gives quite a good sense of direction when it comes to choosing a Business School and a Course to attain that objective.
Post MBA jobs, at least in the context of Great Lakes, comprises of a
large number of roles in (Business/Tech/Strategy) Consulting, Analytics, and Sales and Marketing. Product management roles have also been offered last year. This year, we've also had a Product Management program in collaboration with PayPal, which was offered to a select batch of students from PGPM based on their interest and merit. Students taking up this course stand a chance to seek product management jobs with PayPal or other companies that come to campus with this role. In addition, Great Lakes also provides a course on Product and Brand Management as a part of its Marketing electives.
In the context of other business schools, it depends on the curriculum that they provide and what kind of functions they're known for. Some business schools are best for Marketing and Sales, some for Human Resources, some for Analytics, some for Consulting. You need to shortlist your choice of business schools by going through the course curriculum available on their websites and their placement figures in terms of the roles offered.
