Hello All,
I have an interview invite from Queens Canada and have received a positive response from IMD Switzerland. I have the following question:
I am a mother of two kids 4 year old and 1 year old respectively and its equally important that my family is able to settle wherever I find a job post-MBA without any issues
and my spouse should be able to find a job while he is on my visa (He is an MBA too with good experience).
My question:
Suppose I make it to both the universities, which one should I select?
IMD and HEC Paris
Pros: 1. Excellent brand value and ranking which is much much higher than Queens
2. Very good placements in Europe
3. Possibly higher salary and better ROI
Cons: 1. Very high fees
2. Language may be a problem, especially for my spouse to find a job later on
3. Visa issues - not sure about this, but not sure how welcoming the country is going to be either.
Queens
Pros: 1. Canada, free education for kids.
2. Good placements in Canada
3. Spouse can get a PR, and not sure if it would be easier for him to find a job in Canada compared to Europe.
Cons: 1. Very low ranking compared to IMD
2. Salary and ROI in turn much lesser than IMD
Kindly let me know which one would be a good choice.

In terms of prestige, IMD would be above the other ones. However, given your family priorities, they may be best met in Canada. Don't look at ranking itself as your decision criteria; what matters is how good Queens is in getting you the kind of role you want - depending on your profile and industry, speak to alums and students and get a first-hand idea. There would be language/visa challenges for your family in Switzerland/France.

I assume you are of south Asian descent, prefers English, and would like to migrate.
What is your and your spouse’s intended industry?
If you think family fit is 50% of your consideration I would go for IMD, then HEC then Queens. Job placement in Switzerland i heard isn’t difficult, it is a fabulous place, great schools for kids, but expensive so you’ll want a pretty good job in a multinational with an English work environment. Both IMD and HEC may provide more international mobility too, so think Singapore, Hong Kong as backup plans (good salary, low tax, fabulous international schools and havens for expats, multicultural especially Singapore, English widely spoken especially Singapore) or Dubai etc. are these options? Or are you strictly looking at a western country.
If family is more important and you value stability, choose Canada. It is a much better place to live (Switzerland has better quality of life maybe, but it’s boring and less multicultural), while Canada has a large south Asian population, your kids will feel less left out, and it’s overall a more multicultural society as a whole. I also think life feels more liberated in Canada, large houses, lots of space, great family road trips. Elite status isn’t that much of a thing in Canadian society, Queens is considered pretty decent.
Personally I am no.2 and would choose Canada.
